Insurance Application: Fill & Download for Free

Depends on how much you owe. A dirty little secret is that lawyers don’t like to sue clients for payment. Two reasons. First, lawyer sues client for fees. Client responds, “you committed malpractice.” Even if untrue, now the lawyer has to report the claim to the lawyer’s insurance carrier. The mere reporting of a claim can have an affect on future rates and insurability.Second, every malpractice insurance application I’ve seen in recent years (including short form applications for the renewal of an existing policy) asks “do you sue clients for non~payment of fees”? If you answer yes, it affects your rates. Why? See above.If a client stops paying, it’s easier to withdraw than sue, altho’ if the lawyer has entered a court appearance, the lawyer needs court permission. And, in seeking permission the lawyer cannot claim that the reason is non-payment of fees (a lawyer cannot publicly disparage the client). So the usual reason is something like “client rejects advice” or “client is not cooperating.”We filed a motion to withdraw in a case; we cited non-cooperation as the reason. We took the motion directly to the “motions” judge. He read the motion, looked up and said, “Not paying your fees, huh,” and granted the motion.

I am a retired police officer.The Soviet Union was beginning to crack and some legal Russian emigrants were getting into the U.S. though I had not met any.One evening at about 10:30 I was downtown and saw an expired tag and I needed one more ticket and this would be an easy one. Police quotas are illegal and unethical but if you don’t make yours you could find yourself walking a foot-beat in a nasty place.I pulled him over and saw two shaking hands stick out from the driver’s window. Thinking that I had a bank robber/murderer, I called for backup. When I ordered him to exit the car, he opened the door, his whole body was shaking; then he laid on the street face down. Still thinking I had a major criminal, I handcuffed him and stood him up. Then I realized that he was Russian and spoke poor English. After he calmed down and spoke better English, I asked for his papers. He told me where they were.All his papers, do you know how many papers a person has? Passport, visa, Russian driver’s license, international drivers license. He had bought the car that morning and had the receipt, tag application, insurance application, and much more.I took the cuffs off and sent him on his way, or tried to send to send him on his way. It took a few minutes to convince him that he could go free. I of course was late getting home again.I did wonder what it must be like to get pulled over in Russia.

Sure, unless you’re a homeowner affected by her decision to limit ordinary people’s options when a bank falsely allows repossessions by limiting their ability to collect attorney’s fees. Or that one where her ruling overturned another court’s ok to raise the minimum wage in Florida.She’s ruled that :Uber Drivers are not entitled to unemployment benefits because they are independent contractors and not employees of the company.She reversed a jury award of $571,883 after Rudolf Amaya suffered an on the job injury and was retaliated against after filing for workers’ compensation. She found that he did not suffer economic damages due to retaliation because he was unable to work while he was injured.In United Auto. Ins. v. Salgado, Lagoa, reversed a trial court decision and sided with an insurance company that retroactively rescinded insurance coverage to Oscar Salgado after he was in an accident and submitted his medical bills for payment. The insurance company said he failed to list his brother as a member of the “his household” on his insurance application and refused to payout.What could go wrong? As long as you were a corporation you were just ducky.Do we really want people like this in lifetime positions on the bench of the highest court in the land? Why not just sign up as indentured servants to corporate interests and save the court costs?
