In short, in this country, negligence does not get you attorney’s fees. It’s literally called the “American Rule”- both sides bear their own costs. Trust me, it’s way better this way. Often times when you have attorney’s fees on the table the tail starts to wag the dog. Say a vagrant “slips” and falls on your…

And if the mechanic fails to do all those steps, then they’re negligent. And they’re responsible for the damages their negligence caused. And that’s exactly what happened here. For simple negligence you do not get attorney’s fees. So, to overcome this, the plaintiff’s lawyer tried to include a consumer protection law…

Nope. Negligence is simple. What is the standard of care? Did the defendant fail to meet that standard of care? If so, you have negligence. Doesn’t matter whether you accidentally did the wrong thing, or forgot to do a thing, had an evil thought in your heart, etc. No ill-will is needed. Your performance failed to…

Practically any failure on a car involves life/safety. Lost a wheel? Crash. Brakes not responsive? Crash. Suspension out of wack? Lose control and crash. Car loses power at speed? Crash.

Small claims usually covers these smaller disputes with damages of less than $10k. Often no attorneys are allowed, and the judges are very pro-consumer.

Curious to see if they appeal, because State Supreme Court is likely to uphold. The general rule in American law is that both sides pay their own respective attorney’s fees, unless they’re specifically authorized by contract or statute. By and large, a simple negligence claim doesn’t provide for attorney’s fees.…

There’s nothing wrong with having multiple accounts, even if you have a few that are dormant, and it’s great for budgeting if you hate budgeting. Wife likes to see her account balance rise and is a workaholic; I want to know how much I can blow on fun. After the auto-deductions to the joint account, retirement,…

So many don’t get this. Marriage has nothing to do with love, happiness, or stability, etc. (obviously nice to have, but not guaranteed). The only thing marriage is, is a legally binding partnership agreement between two people, recognized in the eyes of the government, that the confers legal rights, privileges, and…

“J.C. has had three Mustangs, but it’s time to upgrade. He has a healthy budget, too. But this new ride has to fit a car seat, have three pedals”

OP doesn’t say a lot, but there’s a lot you can infer. By the time a Jalop has bought their 3rd mustang (cars and coffee jokes and all) they’re a mustang guy. 

https://jalopnik.com/a-manual-transmission-isnt-always-the-right-option-1710072869 You still recommend an F80 with a stick?

OP drives a mustang for a reason. No replacement for displacement. 8400 RPM redline and no turbolag.

E90 M3. 4 doors. Manual. V8. Bullet-proof engine (one you replace the rod bearings, $2k-3k job). Can be had for under $30k with less than 60k miles.

This isn’t even just a case of poor woman suing rich man. It happens whenever any non-rich person sues a rich person or company. Look at the McDonald’s Hot Coffee case. When the average person is asked about it they think she’s some crazy gold-digger with a frivolous claim.
 Poor lady just wanted her medical bills paid…

Or if Sean Payton didn’t do an Andy Reid/Pete Carrol impression and completely blow play-off end of game clock management. How hard is it, “use your elite RB to run the ball against the exhausted defense...”

Start small. Try swallowing a sprinkle. Then a mini-m&m.

Do you wear a watch? That can help (right handed people wear it on the left always; some left handed people wear it on the right)

Priority Pass is the moviepass of airport lounges. It was great once, but now is terrible, ineffective, and a waste of money

Have you considered not riding winding mountain roads, or at least not riding uphill? When you’re doing 1/2 mph on a steep uphill curve, you’re just begging drivers to run you over, because we’re (reasonably) not expecting there to be a stopped obstacle in the middle of the lane.

and legally responsible for the health care costs and/or lost wages of any 3rd party who falls ill in the event the non-vax child becomes ill and spreads the disease. The only way to affect the behavior of rich stupid white people is to hit them with their wallet.
