This is a tough case, with plenty of risk for the defendants. Henderson isn't risking much aside from being grilled pretty hard in discovery and having some embarrassing info come out (I have also heard that he was being forced out of the league prior to the hit). I would imagine he isn't paying any up front legal fees. He would be at risk for costs if he actually goes to a trial and loses.
I might have to give Mr. Machida a friendly call. I've had a few files with him before (not injury cases) - he's a super nice guy. It's interesting that Norm is counsel for the CHL in that minimum wage case.

Aren't these type of lawsuits taken by lawyers who only get paid if they win any money? And not get paid if they lose?
