Any time I've ever worked with the public, complaining about this was the quickest way to make me move slow as hell.

These idiots get in minor accidents, go get a lawyer, go to some dipshit doctor who's friends with the lawyer, a year later they are awarded either $25k or $50k, depending on the person that caused the accidents limits of liability, and they will see about 10% of that awarded money b/c 40% will go to the doctor and the other 50% will go to the lawyer, all the while not a single fricking thing was wrong with the dipshit who was in the accident, but the judge could care less, and the attorney for the insurance company just hands the money out in a settlement instead of trying to fight it b/c he knows he will likely not win in the state of Louisiana, especially in the BR and Nola area b/c the judges side with their buddies scamming insurance companies and the dumbass's that have nothing wrong with them but just want a handout b/c their bumper was bumped.
THIS EXACT scenario happened after a family member, on my policy, bumped a car on Nicholson. Insurance attorney said they were going to "pay her to go away" and I pitched a major fit and demanded they fight the suit under threat of pulling my corporate business from the insurer. They ended up going to trial and we didn't even have to put on a case. Judge ruled for us after the plaintiff's witnesses lied all over themselves. Plaintiff was also ordered to pay our attorney's fees since they declined a settlement offer earlier in the process (frickers didn't tell me they tried to settle). It was the most satisfying day I have had in a long time.

Under our system we are all "losers" except for the injury attorneys.
There's nothing worse too than having your insurance company throw in the towel because they don't want to spend money putting up a fight because they would rather just roll over.

Why does a wealthy attorney own dilapidated homes
He isn't a slum lord. He bought the damn houses for the property so he could build the building.

So which one are you, the dickbag lawyer, dumbass doctor, or shithead judge?
I would bet the dickbag lawyer. why don't you let me know what number to call to get in touch with you. If I ever get rear ended in the slightest, I'll be sure to give you a call that way I can get a higher share of the easy as pie $25k or $50k that is handed out every day in this state.

and therein lies all of your deep seeded butthurt, despite it all working out for you. Hold grudges much? the system worked for you as it should have.

He's actually owned that property for many years, but yeah, so he could expand later.

There is an entire economy of judges, bailiffs, attorneys, chiropractors, private investigators, pharma, pain "docs" etc. on one side...
and multi - billion dollar insurance companies on the other side.
The only ones getting screwed are the people who are not in on the game.
Move the jury threshold to $5K, insurance premiums won't change an iota, courts will be strangled and PI attorneys might make less. It's a zero sum game - they are going to figure out a way to exact money from the economy somehow. Not that it's right, moral or just. It is not, not in my view.
The ones who really make out like bandits are chiropractors and others who provide services to the soft tissue "victims."

The dipshit judges need to stop awarding $50k to everyone automatically everytime, and be actual judges, instead of awarding their buddies money . . .
That ain't happening, ever. Juries, would, of course, put a stop to that nonsense. Of course, the elephant in the room is that litigation is good for plaintiffs lawyers and defense lawyers. Neither want the jury trial limit lowered because it would result in a lot less business for both.

The worst abuse was when the Texas A.G. handed his buddies the tobacco lawsuits. Those lawyers made billions doing work the state's AG should have done.

Didn't say he was a slum lord. But if the 2 houses were dilapidated, why wait so long to tear down the houses when he's owned the properties for 10 years.

The ones with the Bible verses are the worst. Pretty sure Jesus wouldn't approve of their practices. Guess it helps them sleep better at night though.
Maybe drug dealers should start giving away free Bibles with their heroin sales.
