sued people
 
have you ever been sued or have you ever sued anyone?

are you a bloodsucking lawyer or just a fan of vampires?

me? I've been sued for ONE MEEEEELLION $'s before.

it was bullshit, and I won, but the experience will last a lifetime!

what about you? do tell.

knox 07.22.2010 09:48 PM

its my biggest fear because i hate all that bullshit.

i used to work for a collection agency and we had to sue some people.
some of them would simply vanish, and you'll find out everyone was sueing them too.

sued someone I rented a house to for damages. she owed $1510. she now owes way more than that because of interest. Possibility I'll ever get the money? Not likely at all!

jon boy 07.22.2010 11:49 PM

never but i was close. a landlord also owed me a lot of money and was delaying the repayments by a long time while still renting out the place, he claimed no income buteventually he coughed up and it didnt need to go that far but he was a leech so i didnt feel that bad.

It's pretty awesome to be from a family of lawyers.

ploesj 07.23.2010 05:17 AM

four active lawyers in the family, one retired. i tend to not get in trouble though.

Progressive is sueing the fucker who hit my car last year. I have still not seen a dime and my car still has a knarled up bumper.

I got sued for 2 million! I think. Maybe it was 1 million. Car accident. I hit him at like 5 to maybe 10 mph. IIRC, at his deposition, he said 'well, I can't mountain bike anymore'. I don't actually remember the outcome but I assume they paid his medical bills and told him to go away.

The only person in the world who could possibly think that would be you and Fred and Rose's offspring.

let's lynch bradders before he procreates!!

and by lynch, I mean, a wooden stake through his heart.

I've noticed it's only people with money who get sued. So it's middle class people sueing other middle class people.

not always true. the people that sued me weren't exactly middle class (or even US citizens for that matter). in fact, they made most of their money by sueing people.

the company that I worked for at the time, paid them $30k just to go away, since they were also named.

when it came to the date of the actual hearing, nobody showed up.

there's big money in suing corporations and hoping for cash.

just ask bradders.
