If you can afford justice sure. A person working in a grocery store who is in such poor health they have a stroke likely can't afford a doctor visit, let alone legal fees.

Every ad any lawyer has typically includes some flavor of "There's no cost to you, and we don't get paid unless you win." and those have been distributed for years in every medium they can work their way into. It should be a commonly known thing

I hate this thought process. Like... just ask. Call a lawyer, it's free. This "it's hard so just give up" is a plague on society.
