Explain what is meant by deep pockets and how this term applies to tort liability lawsuits
What will be an ideal response?
Deep pockets is a term used to describe a defendant in a lawsuit that would have the highest potential for a plaintiff to receive a large settlement because the defendant either has a high value insurance policy or substantial assets. In tort liability lawsuits, plaintiffs might choose to only sue individuals that have deep pockets rather than other responsible parties since they would have a better chance of receiving a substantial sum of money in the settlement.
