10 Books

[sarahcb1208]

Good lord!! I just hit 10 books for the year already. No, I haven't finished them all. I just started #10 and still need to finish #6 (it's my bedtime book ;))

So, what how is your year going so far?
Josh got a letter from the lawyer hired by State Farm. He has to meet them on the 18th for a prep for the deposition on the 22nd. Fuck! Bitch is still suing him (for those that don't know, in 2007, Josh was rear-ended, then t-boned. Woman who hit him first was driving on a suspended license, and Josh was found *at fault* because he was "driving too fast for the conditions" - 30mph in a 70 during snowy conditions.). She's suing Josh for loss of wages and supposed injuries. Um, stupid bitch, if you hadn't been on the road, like you legally were supposed to be off, you wouldn't have been injured, you wouldn't have ended up in jail, and you wouldn't have lost your job. Hmm, whose real fault is all of this?

Gah! So, we have to miss hours (because they're just going to schedule him 5 days, which means we'll lose that 6th day of pay. *grumble*

Fuck off, Justice System.

OMG! Its what, 2 years ago and she is STILL trying to sue him?! Wtf is her deal. Stupid heiffer.

Yeap, but hopefully a judge sees through this, and goes "Fuck off, bitch" because her statute of limitations is up *w00t* She cannot file again, EVER!

She's doing the same thing the people in my case are doing.

If she doesn't file a motion before the 2 years is up, then she can't get anything. If she files before the two years is up, then she can continue for as long as she likes. Mine filed 3 days before the 2 years were over.

so, if she loses her lawyer (she's on her 3rd one), she can file again?
what pisses me off is that she put herself at risk. she legally wasn't supposed to be on the road. she was arrested for driving without a license. kansas has no special exceptions. she's suing for something that is *her* fault.

People are just sue happy. And many of the lawyers involved with these sort of cases are morons. My father is a self-employed contractor and, several years ago, he decided to add home inspection to the list of things he would do. He got forms made, got involved with a national organization, things were going fine.

Then a woman who'd gotten a house inspection sued him because she did something stupid and fell down the stairs. The house must not have been up to code. "Up to code" isn't what home inspections are for--you sign something signifying you understand that when you get one. The case was filed in the wrong state for a mangled version of the company name. It cost a bit of money for my parents just to hire a lawyer to sort things out.

Hopefully it won't be too much longer for you to get this sorted out. Ironically, I thought being the person doing the rear-ending is 99% the at-fault person, anyway. I can't even see what kind of argument doesn't end in the person to the rear being proven to be a) following too close and/or b) going too fast.

Oh trust me, we're still going WTF at him being charged with the accident, considering her driver's door hit her rear-end (his tailgate had an imprint of her door handle in the back of it, right near the back light. O.o

Thankfully, the guy that t-boned him (who totally went "driving too fast, couldn't stop in time", and barely left a dent in the door) is testifying on Josh's behalf, since he was behind and saw it all.

The cop that took the report didn't do anything but direct traffic *through* the accident scene. Did not take any real notes, or draw any sort of map on how the vehicles ended up.

umm..how about fuck off sleazy lady and her sleazy lawyer? Doesn't really have much to do with the justice system. It's not the justice system's fault that the bitch is abusing them. I know, I know - you're pissed and you want to choke someone. I understand. I guess I'm far too reasonable. Sorry! Hopefully, the judge will throw it out. Of course, the sleazeball who sued my mother over an accident (which definitely looked STAGED!) was found that she didn't have any cause for suit and was still awarded $48,000 for her "pain and suffering" by the jury. Assholes. But trust me, I understand about the pay. I lost a day of holiday pay because I went home sick on Monday. We should take out 85% of the trial lawyers and shoot them. Then the remaining ones would only have time remaining to take the cases with cause.

Hmm...did Josh ever think of suing her? She was doing something illegal!

*hugz*

Josh doesn't have time to try and sue someone, and we don't have the money (he talked to a lawyer, pro-bono is only for injuries, hence her suing for $75K ... she was supposedly injured ... by a little scrape on her head when she hit it on the steering wheel).

And I do blame the justice system, because like in your mom's case, those who scam the system get away with it, and it's partially because of how the justice system works.
