of course if you win, they have to pay for eveything anyways.

 Birol, That s not the case in the U.S.
 If you win a case you don t get your expenses covered.
 Unless your lawyer is able to get your expenses added in.
 
 So you could go to court win and make them take back the trailer, and still have to pay your lawyer. So you don t really win either. [&:]
 
 IMO, it s a goofy system.
 
 

Not sure where you got that info.  I ve negotiated hundreds of business and consumer lawsuits out of court and I ve never seen a suit filed that did not include attorney fees and court costs.  In fact in California the courts have a schedule to as what an attorney can claim for fees based on the amount of the suit.
 Even in the times our company has taken a past client to small claims for unpaid fees we have always been awarded the cost of filling, service and such.

 Thanks, Nick.  I was going to say the same thing.  I worked for an attorney for 2 years & we always saw attorney fees & court costs listed in suits.  Doesn t mean those fees/costs were always covered with the judgement.  But most of the time, those who win & have added the fees/costs in their suit usually get the sum rolled into their settlement.
 
 Peace be with you all.

Hmmm, I haven t checked this thread in a while.
 
 Well, Nick and Danusmom, maybe your both right and I m wrong.
 But my info came from what happened to me a couple years ago. In a very similar situation. And even though it ended in my favor, nobody reimbursed me for my expensives. I still wrote the check to my attorney.
 
 It was explained to me back then, There is actually term used that in someplaces.
 It s guaranteed if someone sues and they lose, they are required to cover all costs for both sides. Unfortunately I can t remember what it s called to do a search.
 
 And if you are right why wouldn t their attorney just go forward, why would it be expensive? If they win IYO there would be no cost!
 
 Well, if I ever need that kind of help again, I ll be sure to contact one of you.[]
 Hopefully I won t!    But maybe you should jump in and help on this one.

 I believe the term you re looking for is punitive damages.
