In Which An Old Dream Comes True

Apr 8, 2010

By Patrick.

I've long wondered how much fun I could have cross-examining some redneck plaintiff who had a license plate or bumper sticker bearing this message:

Now it looks as though I'll get the chance. I'd like to thank you, unnamed client, for taking a great set of photos at the accident scene, and I'd like to thank your insurance company for entrusting me with this important responsibility.

That's hilarious! Please do a followup post on the case. Suitably anonymized, of course.

Looks to me like the sign may be ironic. It looks like the Plaintiff may be someone who supports tort reform.

Some mild irony there, I suppose, but I can't see that a plaintiff's expression of such a sentiment, certainly very much akin to what has been recognized by most courts as "puffery" in commercial speech, provides any sort of defense to the liability.

I would be surprised if this is even mentioned in court or settlement discussions.

You've obviously never tried a personal injury case Frank.

It will be mentioned, I assure you.
