its lawyers like this prick that really anger me.
wife got into an accident last year where she was hit by a dunk driver twice (totalling my new jeep) who proceeded to get out of the car and run. he shows up at the hospital a couple hours later. he admits to having been drunk, driving on a suspended license (suspended for *gasp* DUI), hit and run, no insurance, and driving in a vehicle that he took without permission that belonged to his friend’s mom.
and i could not find a single lawyer willing to sue for damages.
My daughter was hit while getting off the schoolbus a few years ago, a kid slammed on his brakes, skidded past the end of the bus through the lights and knocked my daughter over 50' from where she was standing. The next week I must have gotten a dozen packets from lawyers advertising, one of them actually paid to get a copy of the police report and put it in with his sales pitch. I swear it was the most disgusting thing I ever saw.
That sounds like a horrible situation. I wonder if they figured the punk didn't have money to pay damages with anyway?
