If you've been injured in an accident where someone else is at fault, you've probably heard advice from friends or family to "just sue."

Johnson & Johnson is reportedly set to settle more than 1,000 lawsuits related to its talcum-based baby powder for $100 million, yet it still faces thousands of pending claims.
