Default lawyer writes me a letter advising me to sue

and they wonder why everybody is sue happy in this country. this past summer i was doing my step father a favor by putting a roof on his house. i am a general contractor who is fully insured but my wife carries the health benefits through her job (it would cost me $1000 a month more to carry this). i was getting down off the ladder when it kicked out from under me. the only thing i can do is grab hold of the facia board. it ripped open 4 fingers forcing me to go to the emergency room to get stitches. after everything was settled through the insurance company and so on, we recieved a letter in the mail from a lawyer from pittsburgh. in the letter it stated that i may be entitled to money because of my injuries resulting from the accident. the only way they could have even known about the situation is because we filled out a questionaire sent out by the insurance company. we stated that the injury happened at my step father's house. these idiots want me to sue my own step dad!!!! what a bunch of crap. your thoughts on this???

Maybe we should start deporting lawyers to a little island somewhere! Idiots!

that's a good question, no i most certainly did not. unfortunatly, i don't pay into the worker's comp......waaaay too expensive. for those of us who have small business's (especially in my line of work) take risks everyday. if i happen to fall 40' and break my kneck, our medical insurance will cover the hospital bill but nothing else. my wages would not be covered in such a case. plus, i didn't miss any work.......infact as soon as left the emergency room i headed right back to the jobsite and finished the roof.

Then you also have all of those scum bag attorneys on television encouraging everyone to sue everybody else.

I wonder if the "taste left by a lawyer in a mountain lion's mouth".....would be any better than the taste they leave in my mouth? Where did they say those hungry cats were?

Just think....."kill two lawyers with one cat"! That has a nice ring to it!

A man goes into a lawyer's office and says, "I heard
people have sued the tobacco companies for giving them
lung cancer, and McDonald's for making them fat."
The lawyer says, "Yes, that's true."
The man says, "Well, I'm interested in suing too."
The lawyer says, "Okay, McDonalds, or the tobacco
companies?"
The man says, "Neither. I'm suing Budweiser for all
the ugly people I've slept with."

The legal profession is undoubtedly the most disappointing part of our society.

Lawyers prey on the misfortunes of others.[:'(]

99.9% of all lawyers are without any form of morality.
