What to do about lawyers?

April 18,2013

Continued from April 17

I was called to come to Denver to speak with Enten's assistant. They had put together a demand letter of which I was given a copy. This assistant made a suggestion that we settle the State Farm claim right away. I believe the elevator accident had happened.I know that I told them about it when it did happen. I was not able to think through much at this time. I was able to read simple books and do simple puzzles. I don't know if I could write much. My short term memory was not improving but my long term memory seemed be really good. I could remember things from the past, unless it was having one's life flash through your mind because it is the end. There were days I thought my next thought would be my last. Just using my brain to read a short while would put me to sleep for 3 hours, any time of day. I slept in the library parking lot for about 8 hours one time.

(The following is an example of my lunacy, if this is a word. Just to letting you know. You may not want to put your time into it.

I would loose days at a time. One of the funniest episodes I had was showing up at a graduation that was being held at Woodmen Valley Chapel. I was attending the Saturday night service in those days, when I could. I showed up at the normal time for the service- there were cars there per usual. I looked up and saw some young people in graduation gowns outside the front entrance. I went in as usual, using the elevator to the main floor. As I was going in I noticed a bulletin for the graduation on the counter and decided to get one. It had such a pretty cover. I went in and sat there waiting for the service to start and for the people who appeared to be part of the graduation, to leave. But then I noticed more people coming in dressed nicer than the usual Saturday crowd. I believe I waited about twenty minutes after the service starting time and finally decided that the church had forfeited the service time for the graduation ceremony." Wasn't that such a nice gesture." I decided to leave.  My brain was telling me it was Saturday. I walked out of there still thinking it was Saturday. No one could convince me otherwise. I had done everything I would normally do on that day that I would do on a normal Saturday. It was Friday. If anyone had tried to convince me otherwise I would question their sanity. I still don't know what these episodes are called if anything. I would wake up the next day and live out the correct day. Another Saturday. I had the bulletin and wondered why I had it.I had a couple of friends give me their business cards with instructions to call them if this lady(me) started arguing about where she was, What day it was. Don'tcall the police-call us- in other words. It's OK!

There were several other episodes like this.This is not happening anymore that is that I can remember.Some people who have heard this say they have had similar experiences only they don't have my excuse. Could be.)

Back to my original topic. In other words I had some serious brain damage. I read the demand letter this assistant gave me. I was able to discern that some of the statements were not correct. I then forgot about it. I don't remember how long after this that I was called to set up a meeting with Enten, in Denver. He told me at this meeting what the offer was from State Farm. $42,000. He would take $21,000. The medical bills were over $25,000. I was told by the adjusters in the beginning that they took the medical out of the offered amount. My puny brain was spinning. Another shocking experience.What had I done in picking Enten? He told me that State Farm was was putting a $100, 000 toward the medical.. I called SF, I believe I spoke with Margie Oswald, who told me this was not true. The $42,000 was however. The Potts, Bridgeman policy had $100,000-$300,000 liability. I refused the offer. I received a call from Enten himself who would insist that I should take the offer and adamantly(actually harshly) gave reasons why, by using the weaknesses in my situation ,which had nothing to with the case, to justify the ridiculous offer. Shocked out of what mind I had left I fired the wretch. He told me if I hired someone else he would put a lien on anything I received. I could hardly comprehend what had happened. We live in an evil world. BUT- he was my advocate. I was weak, with a traumatic brain injury, in serious pain. What kind of greedy, insensitive monster was he?
When I called the Department that takes complaints about lawyers I got the impression that he was not the only one out there who was scamming people in this way.

Are the lawyers the foundation of how corrupt this auto insurance industry is? If you read the article I wrote( the beginning of the blog) I had mentioned the books , Deny, Delay Defend and the Vulture Culture. They don't emphasize this arena enough. The articles written by Richard E. Stewart (many in the 1970's) hold lawyers accountable. Our government is dominated by lawyers. they legislate, then capitalize on their legislation. BACK TO:
IT'S OUR MONEY!

IT'S OUR MONEY- PEOPLE!
