Getting legal fees paid isn't always possible, and is very different in various jurisdictions.
I was once sued in revenge by a supplier I'd dropped. We knew I'd win the case (they were hoping I'd settle), but I was pissed about how much it would cost me, even if I won.
It turned out that we had to motion for legal fees by a certain date. So my lawyer waited until about an hour before the courthouse closed on that day, and filed the motion without giving them a chance to react reciprocally. So they'd have to pay my legal fees, but I wouldn't have to pay theirs.
They lost badly, as predicted, and paid my lawyer for their hubris. No compensation for two years of worry and lost sleep, though.
