I don’t know what’s counterintuitive about that- it’s pretty basic. I don’t practice Maritime law, and I’m not a baw.
You don’t get to just open a tow/haul company, pay low wages to an unqualified driver, fail to properly secure loads, and take in baller money. The “friend” should consider it a fairly cheap lesson learned.

I don’t, but I’m aware the human body and mind can be fragile, and that many injuries can be insidious.

Oh for frick's sake.

Hell of an assumption there. You got some evidence? The mere fact the tire came off does not mean it was improperly secured.

Ell Oh fricking Ell. People with zero fault get sued all the damned time and no one almost ever pays the price for that abuse of process. Judges almost never pop plaintiffs or their lawyers for Article 863 or for frivolous lawsuits even when they get zeroed.

These injuries are plausible and a good reason to secure your haul. Insurance Company is lucky they’re not paying for the death of a family.

It feels like this board has a weekly cry fest about PI Lawyers like Gordon, Morris, et al.

It's almost like it's being posted on a schedule spaced out evenly to always be in top of mind. Some would call that propaganda.

That’s because contingency fee structures and professional ethics prevent frivolous cases from going forward (with some unfortunate exceptions). People who think they can just start a business without paying due care to their duties to the public often find the lawsuits against them frivolous, lol.

Defense lawyers don’t advocate for this b/c 863 also refers to frivolous defenses, and I’ve seen some doozies.

And what does “frivolous” mean? Exactly. That’s why you never see it on either side. If an issue is brought to a decision, one side has to win and one side has to lose. Doesn’t mean one side was frivolous.

It would seem that if a tire came off of a car being transported then by definition it could not have been properly secured.

Insurance is for the unanticipated. How do you know the plaintiff isn’t really injured? Those at fault and insurance do not always pay when and what they are supposed to.

If there was no indication the tire could come off such that the operator "knew or should have known" the tire would come off, then there's no duty to "secure" it and no fault if it comes off. Strict liability for "things" isn't around anymore.

Some? Are you suggesting that there are some in which you do not need to secure and some in which you do need to secure?

throughout the course of this thread it's pretty evident that you made the story up or are misrepresenting a real story.

What are your “friend’s” policy limits? You’ve posted 50 times in this thread, not once leaving out an insult to boot. You seem awfully invested in this...

So a perfectly fine looking tire just flew off a wheel lift?

Your friend isn't an experienced mover or you're lying.

I'm gonna go with lying since you've been caught doing it several times already.
