I have in 50 years been involved, conservatively, in a hundred lawsuits.
There is no way this lawsuit can be handled to conclusion in less than 5 years. I’ve had one, not nearly as complex, go on 15 years and on my side took four different lawfirms to stay in the fight! So, the title to this article alone is misleading to the American people.
Thanks; you corroborated my opinion. Rare for two lawyers to so totally agree. Caveat: I’m almost 81 and retired.
I am not aware that this is a “lawsuit” as you say.
I understood that this is a criminal trial, please correct me if I am wrong.
I recently had a very small accident in which damage to either car could not have exceeded $200.
USPS attempted to deliver a letter to me. I wasn’t home, but the tag had the the name of the law firm, so I called them. Got to the lawyer who was handling the case and she wanted the name of my insurance company. Told her I didn’t have to give it to her because I’d be handling the case myself. She claimed there were personal injuries but wouldn’t say what they were.
After asking for my insurance info, I told her to stop asking. I then told her it would take at least five years to get to trial, I know aa lot about doing discovery which would cost her firm at least $100k in expenses; money they could never recover. Also told her I was retired and needed another hobby.
As you know, these plaintiff’s attorneys are just looking to have my insurance company settle to make them just go away. I wasn’t having any of that nonsense.
I’d be shocked if I ever hear from them again.
