Oh yah and I askd him the question about whether he'd sign up to sit in a golf cart and let me crash into him at 10 mph. He said he would it wouldn't be that bad. Then he went on to say he's had a prior back surgery. Then he admitted he wouldn't want me to crash into him lol. And later admitted it wouldn't be good for a person with preexisting back issues to sit in a golf cart and let someone crash into them at 10 mph in another golf cart.
I really hope you find a cartoon of a umpire and poorly photoshop a person (defendant) handing him money as a demonstrative. I cannot believe he said that.
Why would you want them to strike anything? Seems like just playing this entire deposition will be gold for you.
We have the default and the judge's signed order on the sum-certain. Now have to go after the tortfeasor. In WA looks like you have to attempt to execute on personal property (working with sheriff's office and entering premises), then real property, then bank garnishment, then wage garnishment. Is this usually farmed out?
fuck yes. doing all of that is awful. have you ever sat in a room with a defendant at a judgment debtor exam and started asking them what their assets are? They are about ready to shank you. It's absolute misery. Enroll the judgment in any counties where they own anything worth a shit then find a good collections firm and move on to more fruitful stuff.
A contract (governed by DE law) grants a party rights “after the Closing Date and during the Defined Period.” Do you all interpret the “and” as being a conjunctive that requires both statements to be true? So that if the Closing Date has occurred but we’re not in the Defined Period, then the party’s rights have not arisen/ripened?
Probably needs more context, but each state generally has case law on the use of conjunctive “and”’and disjunctive “or”.
Figured that was probably the case just haven’t had a chance to look into and was thinking about it while walking the dog. This is a highly negotiated Delaware LLC agreement that was reviewed by multiple law firms. Suspect case law will support the conjunctive. Unwinding deals is fun
I don’t understand why this defense lawyer did not attempt to get the commercial vehicle driver to answer the discovery that I propounded to him. Even if he’s in prison. You still represent him. I wonder if they even presented it to him. Him being in prison doesn’t obviate your attorney/client duties.
If a "friend" was facing drug possession charges in Fl, what would it mean to have 2 court dates. First for "plea day" and 2nd for "CF Pretrial"
Didn’t get shanked in prison today. He was in a jumpsuit. They didn’t shackle his hands. The guard walked off and wasn’t nearby. When I handed him a pen to mark where the wreck occurred on an exhibit I was mildly worried. He’s currently in for aggravated assault and manufacturing a controlled substance. And this was like his 4th prison sentence.
This guy friended me at some point. He’s out of LA and considers himself an “influencer” as an attorney. He does these kind of posts all day every day.
Got in a debate yesterday with my partner about getting your client to testify at trial on general damages and pain and suffering. I dont't do it. KTI pretty much says don't do it. They come across as so whiny. I get it all through before/after witnesses. Does anyone in here have their client extensively testify to their own pain and suffering and how an injury has impacted their life ?
You have to at least get them to discuss how the accident impacts their day to day life. Your B&A witnesses can put a finer point on it and talk about how they’ve become a differ person, but I think the jury needs to hear something straight from your client.
Yes. I did local counsel work for a locum tenens company domesticating and executing judgments. Most were defaults. I got all the way to auctioning off a medical office building once. They ultimately came up with the money. Most of it was garnishing bank accounts. It was pretty fun work.
Agreed. You just prep them to not be whiny. Explain how they’re trying to live a normal life and the accommodations they have to make because of the injury. Obviously it depends on the client and injury, but I think the jury needs to hear that from them.
To some extent. But half the time they are insane. I've left court to see someone before, and they've told me to take my tie off so it wouldn't be so easy to strangle me.
Have a case involving a doc in a box urgent care clinic where they totally blew the diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis in a 21 year old kid who died of diabetic shock 48 hours later. Based on the questions to my experts, the defense appears to be a combination of: 1. how can you be sure it wasn’t AIDS? (Needless to say, there is less than zero evidence of HIV/AIDS) 2. Isn’t it really the kid’s fault for no reporting his classic diabetes symptoms to the doctor? 3. How do you know it was ketoacidosis and not this other condition caused by undiagnosed diabetes? (Still trying to grasp the logic on that one) 4. Well, the doctor did tell him to go to the ER if he got worse. Why didn’t he do that?!?!
We are renovating the floor of offices where I am. I have to pack everything for a 9/8 move. I would rather open a window and dump everything.
Life hack: don’t pack. They’ll want to renovate it and they’ll pack it for you. Or they’ll throw it out the window and save you the heavy lifting.
Just fired our digital marketing company. This happens about once every 3 years. And they get more and more expensive each time we get a new one.
Quick law question. if someone is living with their elderly parents and tries to get their boyfriend to move in but the homeowner doesn’t want that individual to move in what can the homeowner do to get that individual (the BF) removed?
“Fired off a time limit demand in a TBI case” is a really odd way of saying you whipped your dick out.
Has anyone ever paid a deposit for surgery, but post surgery the insurance company paid the invoice and you are now owed your deposit back? In hindsight it was dumb to pay the deposit but I had no medical claims and the deposit was less than my deductible at the time of payment. I have been trying for two months to get money returned and the doctor office is jerking me around about it by not saying they will pay, not paying, not returning calls, etc. Patience is running thin and thinking about small claims court now. Was curious if anyone had any advice?
Thank you. I’m trying to get in resolved without violence by police or me. I’m just afraid that it’s going to get to that point.
Ya boy has been added as an expert service provider by the Second Circuit lmao it sounds really fancy until you hear what I’m an expert in.
I set a trial last week for August 2024 with 35 trial witnesses and three weeks of trial time. The case was filed in 2018.
Helping a client on a small deal and I learned some new facts yesterday that allow me to structure things so my client gets paid cash tax free (prior to learning the new facts, the cash was fully taxable). Spent all day trying to convince the other side that it’s cool. Tell my client “hey I’ve got a way that’ll hopefully let you avoid paying any tax on these 7 figures of cash” and he literally DGAF. Didn’t say a single word—positive or negative.
