Best Lawyer Story
BEST LAWYER STORY OF THE
YEAR!!!
A Charlotte,North Carolina lawyer purchased a box
and expensive cigars, then insured them 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! (Stay with me.)
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 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 First Place winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest :) LOL
