money draw from lawsuit

I have had a malparactice suit since 1998. for my original trial, I was dismissed because the judge said I should have filed the suit as soon as I started having side effects from this drug, instead of waiting until I was told by doctors that I had permanent injuries as a result of this drug I have been on long term. An appeal has been filed and accepted. Can I get a money draw from this 1 million plus suit? If so, how?

Where is this magic pool of money going to come from? Just because you have filed for an appeal, you have not won the lawsuit. The next judge could dismiss the suit too. If the lawsuit does go to trial, you could lose. If you do win, it does no mean they hand you a check when you leave the court room. You can bet the loser will appeal the decision and drag things out for possibly years. You can't spend any money you do not already have.

My response:

Now, wait a minute Racer. All our writer has to do is demand $100,000.00 from his/her appellate attorney ! As you know, all attorneys are rich, and can well afford to dole out money to their clients who have 1 Million Dollar cases, like this one obviously is !
