Yeah, I was gonna say, if the vet can put my dog down without it being at all painful or graphic, surely we can do the same for humans who we’ve deemed are irrevocably beyond rehabilitation. But I guess that’s just me being a bleeding heart liberal.

Volmarias posted:To be fair, if the state actually had an interest in doing this painlessly, they have access to a number of things that would work perfectly well. Even if they don't want to switch to a gas chamber and just use nitrogen, they could give a massive overdose of whatever liquid opioids. But, then they might not sate the blood lust of their constituents! Y'know how Boeing decided they'd rather kill shitloads of people with the 737 MAX instead of admitting it was a clean sheet design and getting it type certified? Methods of execution work similarly. Even if newer proposed methods would arguably be more efficient and arguably less cruel and unusual, all that stuff would have to be relitigated. (type certified in the analogy) That would take time, money and is uncertain. The uncertainty is mostly tied up with the fact that these days no legit/certified doctor is going to testify that any of those methods to kill people are AOK and pharmaceutical companies are no longer willing to supply drugs to do so. And the folks on death row and all future defendants benefit from the procedure of executing someone being a clusterfuck. All the current fiddling with slightly different drug cocktails is like Boeing kludging what should have been a new aircraft type to pretend that it's still a 737 and it turning out worse. Nobody on the anti death penalty side is going to advocate for a slightly nicer way to do what they're 100% against. joat mon fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Jan 17, 2024 |

I was involved in a car accident 2 days ago and was struck by a company vehicle. My vehicle is very likely to be totalled, and I was injured and will have ongoing medical treatments. My injury will affect my livelyhood and my ability to provide for my family. I was not at fault for the accident - there was a third vehicle involved in a (relatively) minor way and was also struck by the same vehicle. The third driver will corroborate the story. I have left a message with one law office that was referred to me by an attorney who is a professional acquaintance of mine. What amount of time, if any, should I give to the first referred lawyer before I call another, too? I don't know if this detail is important- I have left a message with the insurance adjuster of the company vehicle's insurance approx. 36 hours ago and I have not heard back. I will feel uncomfortable in giving the description of the events, mostly because the stakes seem high and I don't want to say the wrong thing.

Not a lawyer but I've hired a couple. Immediately call a couple more lawyers. You will want to talk to a couple before hiring them. So that means your real question is how long to wait before hiring a different lawyer. I think that depends on your friend, how close everyone is. You are going to hire whoever you feel best about, the time you give them to respond is just about being polite to your friend. But if they were busy and couldn't respond, I'm sure they will get it.

Greetings, I'm hoping someone can give some advice I can pass on to a friend of mine. She has 2 young kids and her piece of poo poo Ex somehow has gone 2 years without paying any kind of child support. He was in the army. She doesn't even know if he still is on reserves or got discharged or what. She can hardly work since she's always taking care of her kids while she lives with her parents, who hardly help her. She keeps getting further in debt since she keeps getting poo poo lawyers. He somehow keeps having enough funds to continually take her to court even though he claims to not have money to give to her. Within the next couple weeks he's taking her to court and again trying to get sole custody even though she has it, he never has and doesn't pay any money. Oh and also he has an extreme violent temper which a mediator witnessed but now can't be used since he's not on the case anymore? And he used to(probably still) does coke. Thanks for anyone who reads this.

There are free legal services for stuff like this - I'm not sure exactly what to search to find the exact thing you are looking for, but she needs a lawyer.

IANAL but I'll try and think of some stuff that might have been good to know when I started going through the same thing: 1. There's no rush to do anything at this point. Statute of limitations varies by state but is usually 2+ years and that just means (if you end up having to) that you have to file suit within 2 years, it doesn't mean things have to actually be resolved in 2 years (I'm at 3.5 years and counting). 2. As I said, I'm at 3.5 years and counting. This poo poo takes forever. To get a good/fair settlement frequently takes a long time and longer than just settling for something mediocre. 3. Where the accident occurred makes a lot of difference. Whether the state has Personal Injury Protection insurance, whether it's a no fault state, etc. 4. Hopefully since it's a company vehicle they have good insurance but unless it's Amazon or Walmart or whatever it's definitely not guaranteed. 5. My medical bills were all paid by my health insurance but then they have the right to recover from any other sources i.e. the guys car insurance, my underinsured motorist insurance, any lawsuit assets, etc. 6. I'd take some notes about whatever you remember about the crash and about your medical treatments and condition. 18 months from now it can be good for settlement negotiations or testifying to have reminders about things because you'll start to forget. 7. Most docs will say whatever shape you're in at 12 to 18 months is when it's almost certainly permanent, i.e. if you still have pain or whatever at 18 months then you're probably going to have it for the rest of your life. At the six month point I still thought I was going to make a 99 or 100% recovery and probably would have settled for way less if I'd rushed into it, not knowing that I was going to have significant permanent problems. bird with big dick fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Jan 22, 2024 |

Cartridgeblowers posted:Hi, I'm in Georgia and had a question about insurance payouts and what people are legally responsible for. Debts only go unpaid when the persons estate doesn’t have any money to pay them. It sounds like the insurance money is going into your sister’s estate, which is then paying off the creditors. You’d need an attorney to challenge it since it’s very state and fact specific. However, you should research estates more. Everyone has one upon death, but you seem to think they only exist if you die with money.

B33rChiller posted:If/when LE manages to nab someone, I would guess there's a good chance they come across enough evidence to slap on some identity theft charges too. Update:   One of them had a $50k warrant and is still in jail a week later. I'm keeping an eye on PACER to see if the Postal Police join the party. But even if they don't, those 1st degree burglary charges have real teeth. (This is what they were arrested for, but I think it'll be months before I know how the DA is going to charge it, etc.)

The impression I got while I was a PD was that there's been an overall massive drop in classic residential burglaries over the past few years because the advent of omnipresent door cameras means anyone who tries it is on camera up and down the street and is usually caught quickly thereafter. So the burglars all either moved into other crime or moved into the big house. We still saw some "burglaries" of the "homeless addict breaks into vacant house during winter storm" type but classic smash and grab robberies just don't happen nearly as often any more. You have to be real dumb to even try it and most of the people that dumb get caught real fast.

In college when I sold home security systems for two months while I learned what a scam it all, we got to see some of the crime statistics about how like 85% of home burglaries are in low income areas, and the average cost of damage and goods stolen was way less than you end up paying for the home security system and the monitoring.

The cops loved it. High-fives all around. The mail thieves tried to hide inside the apartment complex, so the cops brought in a german shepherd to root them out. I think even if they beat the charges, the whole experience will have a nice deterrent effect.

Some states it is five years. Everything litigation wise is very state specific, and you should not ever say that something is true everywhere just because it is true in your state.
