bird with big dick posted:I wish that's all it was but never really sure how much I should share. Maybe I should PM someone the details and they can post "yep that's real fuckin stupid" or "nah bird is an idiot" itt Obviously I can't speak on the specifics of your case, but the low five figure PI case I dealt with in my dad's estate was an annoying, frustrating, drawn out process. A lot of that was just not understanding how to tell if I was getting taken for a ride, and dealing with the emotional aspects of the case and situation. In retrospect, I think we got the best settlement it was possible to get, and there was very little chance of getting more from a jury, with a very good chance of getting nothing at all from 12 capricious idiots. If you have a 6 figure settlement offer in hand and your lawyer hasn't insisted you take it and walk away, I think that's a very good sign that they are still pushing for more and aren't doing the least possible.

bird with big dick posted:Yeah not only have they not insisted, they didn't even recommend taking it. They made sure I knew I could lose it, which I know, nothing is guaranteed at trial. But even though it's (barely) six figures, it's so little relative to my injuries plus so much of it is going to end up going to BCBS and legal fees, it's still gonna be practically nothing. Don't confuse your dissatisfaction with the process with your lawyer not doing a good job. Switching lawyers is going to cost you an additional third of any payment, so you'd better be sure anyone else you go with is very confident they can get you enough to account for that. Knowing what I know now about it, I'd have to shop it to at least two others and they'd have to agree on a very close, very high figure to make it worth it. PI suits are to get your bills paid and wages recouped, basically. There's no amount of money that's ever going to make you feel ok with getting hurt from someone else's actions. If your lawyer is accounting for wages and whatever pain and suffering is allowable in your area, they're doing right by you.

teen phone cutie posted:what's the likelihood of them coming after the $300 difference? Not a lawyer, but the only person who can really answer that is going to be the landlord, and they'll never honestly answer it. They might never report it, or they might sell it to a collection agency who hands it off for years and dings your credit report every time it changes hands, or they might sue you. There's really no way to predict it. Landlords have gotten insane lately with income requirements, background checks, credit reports, and even requiring references, and there's no indication they're going to be backing off any time soon. You may want to consider how a ding in your rental history is likely to screw you in the future.

ADA protections (what few there are) also apply to perception of disability, not just actually having a disability.

This is only legal-adjacent, I think, but are there any Californians with experience in keeping a landlord off your back to have an emotional support animal when pets aren't otherwise allowed? I'd happily pay an extra deposit, but they don't want to give that option despite the clear signs of one or multiple cats in here previously so I don't really care. I'm willing to pay a certificate mill if that's what it takes, but if that doesn't help or isn't necessary, that would be great to know beforehand. E: for the record I do have diagnosed emotional/mental disabilities as recognized by ADA and CA law BonerGhost fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Jul 19, 2022 |

Javid posted:To clarify, has your landlord refused to let you pay a pet deposit or stated they would not allow an ESA? The only requirement is that you have a letter from a doctor stating you need an ESA, and that you give a copy of that letter to your landlord. An ESA is not a pet, and they have no ability to charge you a deposit for it, or refuse to permit it based on pet rules. That link is really helpful, thank you. All the results I could find were from certificate mills and various similar sources so I was having a hard time getting legitimate info about requirements. I haven't broached the subject of a pet with them, but the lease says no pets except for ESAs. It's a management company and no employee so far has displayed any ability to exercise judgement or act with basic courtesy, so I expect they'll demand a letter. If it can come from my regular doctor as this document indicates, I shouldn't have much problem getting that. I think the likelihood of them finding out or actually caring about a pet is low, but the consequences would be bad, so we need to keep it above board if I'm to have critters (even though the house reeks of cat piss already).

Javid posted:I wouldn't regard it as "demanding" a letter; the letter is what legally differentiates your ESA from a random pet, so getting it is just the process of proving that to them. But that's what you should expect, yeah. That's good info and I like that approach. It'll be a few months realistically before I can get an animal, but that makes me feel better about the process. Thanks.

Volmarias posted:Worth mentioning the common scam of "Ok we signed the contract and agreed on the costs and have moved all of your things into our truck, but now that we've arrived with all of your things in our truck I've changed my mind and actually want double the money we agreed on. If you call the cops, they will show up and say that it's a civil matter contract dispute that they are holding all of your possessions hostage, and you'll just have to figure it out with us. Of course, if I'm feeling generous, we can cut a deal where I just unload everything from the truck for the original price, onto your lawn, lol. Sure, you can leave a bad review, we'll just dissolve the company and reincorporate." Ok but how do you fight that, besides avoiding it in the first place?

therobit posted:My guess would be the “benefits package” is one thing, and the fact that they are now reporting credit scores are another, and they didn’t do a great job of making that clear. Because they don’t have to ask your permission and if they are a furnisher of credit information to the bureaus then they have an obligation to treat all customers equally and to report accurate information. If he were leasing a place from Piñata I'm sure that would be the case. Piñata isn't the DBA of his landlord/property manager, it's a separate company and service. The OP addressed all this in the first post and it's really clear that he didn't sign up with Piñata, and thus does not have any relationship with them for them to report. If he does have an account with them, it's because someone stole his identity and signed him up. Your landlord using the info you gave them for a credit/rental history check to sign you up for something that says you as the individual have to sign up for it is identity theft. If I sign my husband up for a product like this without his knowledge and permission, that's identity theft. You still don't get to legally open accounts in people's names without POA just bc you know their PII, even in America (unless you're Wells Fargo).

Mr. Nice! posted:Nah he fired Twitter’s lawyers. He paid other lawyers a lot of money to draft up the corporate structure docs and presumably other investors have had input. Who are the board of directors now that our boy has taken Twitter private? People are saying Twitter/Elon is/are already in violation of the FTC consent decree for not timely filing the transfer of ownership paperwork. Introduction of new features without a written infosec plan is also a violation of that decree. If he's violating the law as CEO, can't he become personally liable like that ice cream exec who's going to do time for poisoning all those people?

They can't resolve anything amicably without a lawyer if he's kicked her out of her home and forbidden her from asking her kids their opinions. If there was ever a time they could handle this without a lawyer, that time is long past.

Flora Finching posted:I have a question about pain and suffering. I was t-boned by a guy who blew through a 4-way stop while running from the scene of another accident. I had pain and complications (had to use a cane) for about 6 months after. He admits to being 100% responsible. My medical bills were covered, as was my deductible and a measly 10 days for a rental car. How do I know what is even a reasonable offer for pain? It's never going to be enough, especially since I'm in serious debt from having to buy a new car but like, if I get a lawyer they're just going to take half so I'd rather just accept a reasonable offer and be done with it. I'm in LA if it makes a difference. You can shop this around to personal injury lawyers who work on contingency, without going under contract with them, and the going rate in most places (IDK if yours differs) is 1/3, not half. It'll give you a better read on what's typical to charge and whether you have viable claims. If you had the negotiating skills and leverage as a layperson to get money out of an individual with insurance, you'd have the money by now. In reality, it's the implicit threat of a lawsuit (that can only be wielded by someone who can bring that suit) that gets you any money for personal injury. There are limitations to how long after the incident you can bring claims and you're probably approaching them.

RapturesoftheDeep posted:Are there any potential nightmarish drawbacks to being the executor of a will? The worst part of being executor (besides grieving the person who died) is dealing with their family. Even if the will is up-to-date when he dies (reflecting his actual assets and heirs who are actually alive) do you want to deal with his relations feeling jilted and taking it out on you? Who will plan his funeral and run the obituary? Will this disorganized, borderline hoarder document all his financial institutions, services, and life insurance policies for you, or will you have to play detective after he dies? Usually the executor would get the deceased's house ready for sale/transfer. Does he own or rent his home? You can, of course, hire cleaners and charge reasonable expenses to the estate, but will they dig out all the little tchotchkes left to his heirs? Will the heirs fight you about the expense (that reduces their inheritance)? Will they fight you about the expense of a lawyer (that you'll need to make sure you disburse everything properly so you don't take on personal liability)?

My life is so stupid. Over a dozen of my in-laws are signatories/members to an LLC formed in Wisconsin that owns some land and a few structures there. I want a lawyer who can advise us of the liabilities with this thing before we inherit an interest in it, but we're also considering buying in and need review first. My husband and I are residents of two different states and we physically live in another state due to military orders in case that affects where the lawyer practices. Is this a pretty normal thing for a real estate lawyer to handle or should we look at someone with different expertise?

some_admin posted:A friend mentioned he’s “pretty much the executor” of his friend and former roommate. Is just assuming the role of executor of an estate a possibility for non family member? It sounded like the kids and survivors were all good with it, but I feel like this is opening yourself to incredible liability both criminal and civil. Won’t there come a point in time when he have to commit fraud signing something or is it possible to just skate through it if no one complains or notices? I'm not a lawyer but probate attorneys typically (if not always) take their fees from the state, and in most states they're capped at a few percent of the estate value. At minimum, they can assist with your friend being properly appointed executor, which makes much of this work a lot easier. If it's a small estate, some states have a streamlined process that a probate lawyer can probably advise on too. Having been an actual executor of an intestate estate, I wouldn't touch this situation with a ten foot pole without a lawyer.
