Fell and busted her ass.

Case settled for little over $110k.

Case resolved after taking just my client's deposition. No MSJ's.

Probably one of my easier cases to resolve.

Not the greedy corporate overlords that decide to fuck over other customers rather than reduce their profit margins.

Who is in a stronger position to prevent such a "known hazard" from happening? My client or the owner of the property who has a written policy THAT EXPLICITLY SAYS TO CHECK THE FLOORS FOR DROPPED FOOD?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5810735&forum_id=2],#49512790)

It clearly says if you have a cleaning/safety policy and your employees fail to follow that policy then, DING-FAG, you're liable for any injuries that occur.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5810735&forum_id=2],#49512801)

But their dumbass employees never follow the damn policy.

After I get a copy of the cleaning policy, and then depose their corporate rep, I always discover where the employee fucked up.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5810735&forum_id=2],#49512809)

So the blame should be on the corporate overlords who:

a) created the hazard that injured the customer;

b) forced the injured customer into litigation instead of just paying for her medical treatment;

c) Pass the bullshit costs of litigation onto customers rather than eating the cost for their own fuckup

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5810735&forum_id=2],#49512827)

b) i would confidently bet at least that six-figure settlement amount that the “medical” “treatment” your client received was worth less than 50% of the settlement value even after deducting your cut.

c) why would they do that, when every competitor is beholden to the same gunpoint tort bullshit? the shamelessness and/or retardation that enables you to envision yourself as robin hood just because somebody, somewhere (who is at least providing a valuable service) makes more money explains a lot about your renttt-seeking career path.

If my client was such a lying fraud, why did the insurance company roll over and pay?

They're a multi-billion dollar company, surely they could afford to have their CHILL AS FUCK CHAD of a defense lawyer go to trial and mop the floor with my weak case.

It would probably be a lot cheaper than writing a check for 6 figures to an "obvious fraud"

Maybe. . .just maybe, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about and need to suck my dick from the back.

"Let's just pay a six figure settlement IN ADDITION to the $25k we dropped on defense costs against an obviously weak case that we'd surely win at trial!"

>$110K

Do you see 5 or 6 digits in that number?

The RIGHT question is:

"How does it feel to know that your children will have a wonderful Christmas because of Daddy's hardwork."

To that, I would answer,

"It feels good, Jerry, it feels real good."

Hopefully someone will slip on my blood and they'll be ANOTHER 6-figure hit against their policy!

worked for a small PI bro in a small town for a few years.

4 employees.

income, to quote the poet-laurette Lil'Wayne:

A Milli-A Milli-A Milli-A Milli

Legit question. Been thinking of going solo pi work…no access to cases yet

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5810735&forum_id=2],#49512597)

Once you start taking cases, tell EVERYBODY YOU POSSIBLY CAN that you do PI. They will start sending people to you little by little.

Also, start reading books on how to manage a small business. The key to becoming and STAYING profitable is learning how to manage payroll while you're pushing the boulder uphill towards a settlement/verdict.

The key to surviving summary judgment is proving that the employees fucked up by not following the corporate cleaning/safety policy.

You do that, you'll make it past SJ and head to a trial calendar. Once that happens, they'll fold and pay you.

10 years ago, it was solidly Red, but now LIBS have slowly taken over that jurisdiction.

If store performed floor checks every 15 min, then there is nothing they can do about fruit falling on the ground. No liability.

However, the store was unable to prove when was the last time it had performed a safety floor check, thus there was no way to prove that it was in compliance with its own safety policy.
