That is the only case in which contingency applies here. Now it is just a fund of money being used to pay legal (and medical?) bills.
The "depletion" of the accout, as you put it, was over a year and a half, Not 13 years. Even with the high cost of medical care, $828,000 is awfully steep for a year and a half in which the husband, according to the family, blocked all attempts to provide any sort of real health care.
I don't know any good reason to seal records of the accounts except for their audit, and that is apparently not being done.
Many lawyers have earned the implication you claim I made. But even you must admit that lawyers are Expensive, and given the complexities and new governmental twists of the case, even charging reasonable fees (for lawyers) they will end up with most of what money is left in that account by the time this all plays out. |
