    A friend of mine is a contracted driver with a company in Los Angeles that makes runs to the Port of Long Beach. He gets blind sided by a guy carrying a container with one of those large forklifts. Totals the ing truck. The guy on the forklift curses him out and continues on. Well... he got injured, the forklift driver was fired and a representative from the Port is trying to strike him a deal if he gets no attorney. The entire thing was caught on video. Should he negotiate with them or get an attorney?

    Well…It depends on his injuries, medical bills and permanent things like scars…Most attorney’s will give an initial consultation for free…Larry Parkers office will talk for free…Since it was captured on video I would be tempted to talk directly with the party paying the claim…Even if he does not get max dollars he will not be paying 40% for attorney fees…Medical insurance and auto insurance companies in Cali are very strict about being re paid when a settlement is reached…The will put a lien on any settlement… It comes down to how savvy your friend is...

    Fractured wrist and lower back pain. He contacted Parker and they want the case. The rep from the port suggested he not fork over the fees to an attorney and just settle with them.

    Get an attorney first...I could even represent him...my fees will be comprable to the standard rates...I may not be Johnny Cochran but I'm no public defender either...whatever he decides start by suing for 25 mill....then meet somewhere in the middle....in a scenario like that I would only charge..meh....since you the big homie...10%.....I'd waive my court fees and personal expense fees...

    Yall gonna learn to leave the girls in the dust. They don't give a about you. A buddy of mines father just got 4 years for attempted murder. He broke his life savings on a young ... left his wife... and when he ran out of money she kicked him out. He snuck up on her while she was sleep and tried to smother her with a rag drenched in bleach.

    Unless you want to raise a family there is absolutely no benefit to even live with one let alone marry one. Find em em and flee.
