- ProWasher is the defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit filed by Sue Case over ProWasher’s use of a hydraulic compressor in several of its products. Anna Turney claims that, if the suit goes against ProWasher, the loss may be as much as $5 million. It is more likely than not that ProWasher will have to pay some amount on the settlement. Although the exact amount is not known, the lawyer has been able to assign probabilities and expected payment amounts as follows (based on Statistics - probability distributions): 20% probability that the settlement will be $5 million, 35% probability that the settlement required will be $3 million, and 45% that no settlement will be required.
