Some lawyer doesn't have enough work to keep himself busy, so he's willing to take this on a contingency basis. Maybe he can get a 50K settlement and get 20K for himself.

The article doesn't say anything about the plaintiff's arrangement with his lawyer. That said, lawyers are generally unwilling to take hopeless cases on contingency since, you know, they won't actually get paid for them. As such, there are two likely possibilities:

(1) The plaintiff is paying hourly rate to his lawyers who are happy to represent him because they get paid even when they inevitably lose,

or

(2) There are some details to this case that didn't make it into the article. It would hardly be the first time a legitimate claim was made to look frivolous by omitting some key piece of evidence from the news stories about it.
