Week 10; EOC Robert Kearns vs Erin Brockovich



Erin Brockovich and Robert Kearns both wanted justice, as Mr. Kearns’s lawyer tells him in this country justice is received in a form of a check. The lawyer’s portrayed in Erin Brockovich, are  lawyers takeing a hugh risk in the fact that if they don’t win the case the lawyers get nothing for their efforts, yet they still take the case. In flash of genius his lawyers only take the case because they thought Mr. Kearns wanted to get money and settle. If Mr. Kearns did not accept the offer the lawyers made it clear that they could get nothing and probally will. In Erin Brockovich it was a class action lawsuit again a power and a electric company saying these companies knowingly dumped harmful material into a community’s lake. This act had given the residents a very bad illness. It took Robert Kearns over 20 years to win his case. To most people they either wouldn’t take on a big company like ford or they would have settled. To Mr. Kearns money wasn’t the prize, the prize is his pride. He had a great invention that would serve mankind for the rest of human life, and with that invention he had great pride in knowing he was put on this earth to help man see better in the rain. Ford took this away from him, his pride and his family and his self esteem. I took awhile but he got his pride back and most people can’t say the same thing. They settle for the quick buck and lose site of what really matters in life your word and your pride because that’s all a man really has in life.
