“I know him to be an honest, upright person,” Strong said. “I just think this is going to be a dead-end deal. I can’t believe this guy would every put his career or reputation in jeopardy.”…. this is a judge he’s talking about, right?
It is very interesting that the Judge received $440000.00 from a carrier or TPA.
Is the be payment be due to dishonesty?
If so, why wouldn’t the claim represenatives turn this over to their fraud division?
As you know, typically a claim payment of this amount requires at least a couple of
levels of claim reviews before settlement.
So, does this mean the claims rep, the claims manager and perhaps another level of claims management folks (as well as the SIU folks)all missed the fraud before paying out such a significant amount of money?..I hope this is not the case as it wouldn’t speak well to our competency.
Welp…I guess it must the claimants fault,
of course along their attorney, that 440K was paid out on a claim that supposedly shouldn’t have been…If this is the case,
shame on those us who handle claims as the
checkbook that these payments are coming from is often times controlled by those of us who handle claims.
Judges come right up through that slime bag lawyer population. We all know how much intgrity lawyers have. This story doesn’t surprise me one bit. I’m not real sure who’s getting “rear ended” in this story.
SUEM: I saw a pathetic video clip of the African American “judge” on CNN. He actually cried over the loss of his pants for one whole week. Not only is he an embarassment to his race and the legal system in total, he’s obviously a jerk who has too much time on his hands.
What I find most frightening is that in the year 2007 Amercia has a legal system in which “judges” lack the stones to toss a suit like this out as being frivolous. It doesn’t make any difference if a customer service promise was broken. Loss of use of one pair of pants for one week isn’t worth much. Another case of no common sense.
I’d like to see some other attorney do a pro bono representation of the cleaner and file a counter-suit for harassment, emotional distress, and discrimination against this clown. My preference would be to take him out back for some “counseling”.
I guess I am just naive to believe that people in any profession could be corrupt; from Cops to teachers to doctors to lawyers to insurance professionals. No one profession has a monopoly on greed or corruption. I have to point out that to many outside the insurance industry it would be ironic for insurance professionals to deride lawyers and judges of being corrupt when many of those outside the industry find insurance professionals to be corrupt themselves.
Disclaimer time: I can’t possibly know if any of you are corrupt. The posters in this thread are using their unfounded (unless you can site extensive data to back up any claim that all or most lawyers and judges are corrupt) perceptions to insinuate the excess greed and corruption of judges when many people in this country have a similar perception of insurance professionals. We’re talking perception here. And the perception goes both ways.
when anyone, especially an attorney, has to stand up and say a judge is ‘honest and upright’, there is something wrong. a judge, by definition, has to be beyond reproach. to be anything less is to corrupt the ‘better than most’ legal system we have.

Just a thought.

How about the fine upstanding judge that is suing the dry cleaner for 54M because they lost his most cherished pants.
Makes you wonder about Strong also, doesn’t it? Some “friend”.
If he is honest and “upright” as the quote said we wouldnt have a problem here now would we ??

Upstanding apparently means only that he is able to remain in an upright position without apparent assistance. For how long, however……
