THIS IS THE BEST LAWYER STORY
OF THE YEAR, DECADE AND PROBABLY THE CENTURY. Within a month, having smoked
his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even
his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed claim against the
insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer
stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small fires." The insurance company refused to pay, citing the
obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The lawyer sued and WON! In delivering the ruling, the
judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The judge stated nevertheless,
that the lawyer "held a policy from the company in which it had
warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would
insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be
unacceptable fire" and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure lengthy and
costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid
$15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the cigars lost in the
"fires." NOW FOR THE BEST PART! After the lawyer cashed the
check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!! With his own
insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him,
the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and
was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine. This is a true story and was
the ONLY IN No wonder third world
countries think we're nuts. |
