If it was so frivolous why did the insurance company pay so much money on the day of trial

When you need to make repairs and improvements on your properties, you either need to wait until something breaks and you are requested to make the repairs, or you need to declare the apartment/property “no longer rentable”, move the tenant out, and then make all your repairs while it is vacant…not the most efficient or profitable way, but you will avoid the weenie-whiners like Juskys had to deal with.

There is obviously a lot more to this than you are showing. A judge must have thought that there was some merit to her claim, or the judge wouldn’t have let it go forward. Perhaps your desire for tort reform should be directed at the judges. There are a lot of self serving people and organizations out there, but it is imperative that we have a balance, which is where the judges should come in.

I have been sued for nothing also,can’t we sue the attorney for filing a frivolous lawsuit.? Has anyone done that yet? Please let me know if so. I have a tenant that I evicted for not paying five months of rent and his attorney is trying to extort money from me by filing a obvious fraudelent claim . He is milking my tenant with hopes of winning more from me and the result will be my attorney will make money and his attorney will make money and thats it, like always.I would like to file a suit against his lawyer for encouraging him when the truth is obvious. Some lawyers most are simply retainer chasers in my opinion, they tell you what you want to hear and make you feel they can save you. Then they ask for a retainer, and when they have a pretrial meeting they tell you to settle for less or it will cost you more by fighting it .If you settle you never get any of the retainer back. Most attorneys avoid going to trial, so don’t think you will ever win what you initially had in mind. I strongly believe that judges should impose high penalties on lawyers that mastered the system of extortion using the courts.

The sitting judge should ban frilous or meaniless lawsuits or be penalizted themselves. The losers or plaintiff’s should be made to pay for the court or legal fee’s of the winner or defendant!

I earned a law degree in 1976 while working full time in the construction industry in So Cal. By the time I graduated I was so disgusted by the actual workings of the legal profession that I decided I preferred the company of
construction people than lawyers. I was
a GC in Cal and now here in Florida, and
have a small business. It’s absolutely disgusting that tort reform hasn’t been
accomplished, especially now with the
health care issues. States need to use
the 10th amendment rights to accomplish this if the fed won’t.

Toughen up a little. Emotional damages are just a part of life. Does anyone have any consideration for other people these days?
