Takes big balls to bring a suit like that.

I’ll bet if he doesn’t get a big settlement, he’ll have a stroke.
Maybe several.

I think he got shafted.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury… the defendant claims that the product in question was not, in fact a device, but, more properly, a procedure.

The plaintiff has no case, your honour, as he claims he is cock eyed, but no one can contest that he also has great foresight…
