Hey Damian! Cases in the US take time...a long time. Short answer: In the case of Private - No and they should be since the outcome of a trial can cost it all. Private's cases are still pretty new so its early in the game. The process is one most don't understand; again it takes time, you file, then you serve it, then you argue the Defendants BS motions to try and put it off, then discovery (which in itself takes a while because you have to ask for and then dig through a lot of answers and paper), schedule depositions, more BS motions, then pre trial and trial. That process all in can take years all the while people are spending money on attorneys. Settlements in the early stages is always the smarter route for Defendants. Look at the history of these cases filed by companies who went to trial, the Defendants that fight till the end end up losing the most.
If there was a way to get cases to trial faster I would be all over it!
As for others I have worked on in the past, yes they have gone to trial and we won.
