Feelings do not make filing suit the right thing to do. If there is merit to the suit then fine, but simply losing someone and being angry is not carte blanche to file suit against everyone involved.

Lawyers are the worst. Being sarcastic about not being able to bring her back and using that to poke fun at the situation sums you and yours up. It’s all about money. Don’t try to play it up anything more than that. You don’t give a frick about making anyone whole. You just want forty percent. You are quite witty though so that’s cool.

No bro you don’t get it. He’s got no empathy or sympathy. He’s likely a serial killer psycho.

The ability for State Senator Conrad Appel to sue people and businesses hundreds of time to collect what he feels he is rightfully owed to keep his business solvent?

Yeah, I’d imagine that’s pretty important to an economy.

I didn’t say that death doesn’t cause mental anguish. But no you don’t deserve to be a multi millionaire due to it.

Why file this 5 months post accident? There’s something more going on in negotiations or there are corporate financial and insurance factors involved or competing family interests


You would want to wait for the NTSB to complete part of their investigation and release a finding, 5 months is actually pretty fast considering all the things that are typically done.

Not being flippant about the death at all. The poster I replied to said something to the effect of that if money makes you whole then you’ve got a problem to begin with. That’s the only thing our system can do is award money. Can’t bring her back. It’s not perfect but it’s the closest thing we have.

And if you don’t like my proposals about making our state more business-friendly perhaps that’s because you don’t like what you see in the mirror when I hold it up to you by running it out to it’s logical conclusion. That’s your problem, not mine.

Ah, so you base this totally on feelings and not what the parties agreed to. Got it.

You sound like you’re on the spectrum somewhere. The parties obviously didn’t agree to anything. I’m trying to engage you in good faith here but you’re barely making sense

I asked you what should the insurance companies be liable for. More specifically I asked you to define “should”. Your answer amounted to “whatever the aggrieved party says it is”.

You asked me to quantify damages in a case I’ve only read about in the news. But to a more philosophical point, the case should settle for one dollar more than the insurance company wanted to pay and one dollar less than the Plaintiff wanted to accept. If that can’t be done then a jury should decide it.

Wait....you think that Steve Ensminger Jr. and the pilot/plane operator's insurer had an agreement prior to the crash?

Well of course. I mean someone has to profit from all of this.

I feel bad for you that you’re this jaded in life. Must be a shitty way to go throughout the day. I hope your life is never upended through the negligence of someone else.

My response was to a specific statement made by the other poster requesting what he thinks insurance should pay for this situation.

Then that should come to light during the discovery process.

Proof? Bad things happen. Litigation is almost never the answer
