not uncommon for those who are mentally inferior to attack those of us who are decidedly more intelligent than you are. I understand you have not a clue. The truth is a terrible thing to those of you that are not too bright and trying to be involved in a discussion on a subject where you are totally ignorant.
Perhaps a reason to sit on a jury such as this would be to educate people that had a clear bias against the industry? I do not know LA rules on whether it takes one dissent or multiple dissents to cause a mistrial or defense verdict, perhaps there would be enough converts to get a verdict. Alas, I\’m sure I will never be picked for a civil jury!
Sam: I can\’t recall if a civil jury in LA is 6 or 8 people. In any event, it only takes a 2/3 majority for a civil jury to reach a verdict, rather than the unanimous vote required in a criminal jury.
Thanks. If I were on the jury, and if I could convert one person, then there would not have been such an award against Allstate. You know what they say about \’ifs & buts\’ (if you don\’t, let me know). Again, I\’m sure I will never sit on a civil jury.
Sam: I have been called to jury duty at least a dozen times and as you say, once they know I am employed in the insurance industry, I am immediately disqualified, both civil and crimianl juries.
It appears our friend Joe has some pent up frustration. To keep all the conversations civil and moving towards an intelligent conversation I thinks we should all chip in and get him a hooker. He appears to have some good things to say but every once in a while he just goes off the deep end and usually aimed right at you.
Now, back to the conversation at hand regarding juries. Our job occupations (insurance industry) does make is very difficult to sit on juries. Most of us can see right thru the attorney\’s BS and realize there are two sides to every story. I feel it takes away my right to perform my civic duty but I guess the plantiff or defendant has a right to a fair trial that would trump me. Fortunately for the industry in my state for auto\’s it\’s not a direct action state for we don\’t get killed here.
Yeah, I give up on him. Did you see the comment about how juries always side with the deep pockets? Or maybe he meant it the other way. I asked him to answer a question about that comment, but of course, no response. Then again, it is easier for him to point the finger at us for supposedly not answering his questions.
He\’s a hypocrite. Case in point-
\”You continue to call Senator Lott, my Senator, and say I reside in Mississippi. I am not a resident of Mississippi.\”
I really think he does live in Mississippi and he worked for State Farm until he got fired. He also had HO insurance through SF for his little 2 bedroom ramshackle house. He didn\’t have flood insurance though. Now Joe and his 16 cats are stranded with only one pair of stone washed jeans and a Def Leppard T-shirt.
Anyway, he insists we work for SF (as clerical) so I insist he lives in Mississippi. Case closed.
\”If you ever provide factual information, I will be happy to refute it.\” -(fake)adjusterjoe
No, he won\’t… I have provided factual information and then he tells me I made it up. Or he ignores my factual information or twists my words. Do I feel like wasting my time to answer his questions? Not so much, when in the end, it is all for nothing.
So, in closing, I will just say that every morning when I wake up, I am thankful I have a brain (unlike someone we know).
And you as well are very predictable. You are the one making the accusations about State Farm and for the better part of two weeks you keep saying State Farm has denied slab cases at 100%. You have no proof this is true. It is just your opinion with little factual basis. I appreciate you playing the game with me but until either one of us actually works State Farm claims during katrina in both states then we truley don\’t know. But I know, for the sake of argument, you will say that you do know, but everyone on this post knows the difference.
Sorry for the assumption regarding your residence. I just assumed all stupid people like yourself live in Mississippi. With that being the case, it still doesn\’t change the facts regarding Trent Lott.
Today\’s Wall Street Journal states that Nationwide is now going to re-evaluate their \’slab\’ cases as part of an agreement with Jim Hood. I\’m sure this is a result of the large verdicts against State Farm and Allstate. I wonder if Nationwide\’s engineers have the same practice on inspections?

Is that an answer to something?
It seems like you are off topic Joe. Please try to keep on topic.
If you would like to answer the question, please do so. It was part of your comment, after all.

Hope to see you on other posts soon David. :)
