Ginguy Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Contingency fees are usually 1/3 Reputable firms yeah. Packard probably called Ambu, Lance and Chaser Miscreants at law.
1938 Packard Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 Reputable firms yeah. Packard probably called Ambu, Lance and Chaser Miscreants at law. Duey, Cheetham and Howe. I could carry this in another direction and use a lawyer that accepts my prepaid legal card.
1938 Packard Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 They're disbarred in Indiana.... Maybe it's not even a legitimate law firm.
Top Gun Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Hey Sisyphus, who knew hell would look like Jersey? To be fair, pretty much everyone.
1938 Packard Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 To be fair, pretty much everyone. That's why I don't intend to stay here.
scoobdog Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 That's why I don't intend to stay here. You're dying in AC.
stilgar Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 You're dying in AC. And no one will care when he does.
1938 Packard Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 You're dying in AC. Not with this retirement fund. There are places where the property taxes don't equal paying rent for your own land.
scoobdog Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 And no one will care when he does. Except his very relieved employer.
stilgar Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Not with this retirement fund. There are places where the property taxes don't equal paying rent for your own land. I don't think the change you have been saving up that you found on the street is going to be enough to retire on.
1938 Packard Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 I don't think the change you have been saving up that you found on the street is going to be enough to retire on. That's part of why I was fully vested in two pension funds by the time I was 33.
1938 Packard Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 Sure you were. It only takes ten years to vest. I started the job when I was 23.
scoobdog Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 I don't think the change you have been saving up that you found on the street is going to be enough to retire on. He's going to have to have his brother broker a few more deals in illicit cases of soda pop.
1938 Packard Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 He's going to have to have his brother broker a few more deals in illicit cases of soda pop. What's illicit about purchasing and reselling a product?
scoobdog Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 What's illicit about purchasing and reselling a product? I dunno, thief. What's illicit?
1938 Packard Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 I dunno, thief. What's illicit? Illicit is when something breaks a law. No law was broken in this event. Where do you get "thief" out of that?
1938 Packard Posted October 11, 2017 Author Posted October 11, 2017 imagine that. packard found a lawyer who is willing to take his money. in jersey no less! case closed guys. we may as well start saving up now for the big payout in his favor. Update: Contingency fee capped at 1/5. New Jersey has a "no fault" clause in WC cases. It means that negligence or even willful culpability in workplace injury are not considered. Only the fact of the injury occurring on the job is what counts. That's normally limited to medical expenses or in some cases residual working capacity (partial disability). There's a sliding scale for partial disability and after having worked several such cases as mine, the lawyer deduced a possible payout of about $28k. Take 1/5 of that in the lawyer's fee and it's not even going to cover my living expenses for a year. Now, consider that when anyone files a workman's comp claim similar to mine, the employer doesn't need just cause to terminate employment. Well, now you see why I decided to meet the lawyer before presenting my case to HR or RM. I'm not pursuing this any further. In this instance, They don't even have to know. As for the overall attorney experience, I'd say he's handled this quite professionally. He didn't pump me up with any unrealistic expectations just to sign me up and start grabbing money for "incidentals", etc.
1938 Packard Posted October 11, 2017 Author Posted October 11, 2017 Ha ha. Nothing lost, either. B.A.U
discolé monade Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Ha ha. An employer who deliberately creates an unsafe working condition that would inevitably lead to an injury... and ignore four years of corrective suggestions? It's too late for the employer to fix it now. The resulting injury is now medically documented. are you thinking what i'm thinking?
1938 Packard Posted October 11, 2017 Author Posted October 11, 2017 are you thinking what i'm thinking? Well, that wasn't worth watching all the way through.
scoobdog Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 are you thinking what i'm thinking? Yes, Chris Isaak is always the right answer.
