Jim and Joe
I hope PETA isn't reading our site. If so, the
poor folks in WI will be walkin. Just think all those poor Bambi's and all those big bad cars. We'll have to walk from house to house and carry the ladder on our backs. Or I guess we could get a Horse and wagon thats lots of rescheduling tho
can't look at as many in a day. |

Jim...last year I was on storm duty in Wausau, WI. in june and I had taken my Harley with me.....I was told by one of the adjusters that live there that June is when the most deer-vehicle collisions occur and that 80% of the deer-vehicle collision fatalities were motorcylists.... |

Todd, I do believe you are covered. The exclusion does not say rodents, so that lets the squirrel off the hook and the carrier on. Damage from wild animals is covered. At least that is my take on it and I have paid for damage caused by raccoons. |

Alan Jackson: I see the J.D. behind your name now. Does this mean you finally made it through law school and passed the bar in Alabama? Have you set up shop to now practice law? Any thoughts on hold harmless agreements? You going to work for the plaintiff or defense bar?
Please bring us all up to date. |

Todd what if the insured is a 'rat'? Is the damage not covered then under a Texas HO-B?
Or what if the PH has hired a contractor, remediator or PA who is a 'rat'? |

The Alabama Department of Insurance has formed two groups to advise them on the mold issue. One group is for insurance companies and one is for consumers. It appears they are going to model their approach after Texas.
Stay tuned for more.

Certainly there are levels to be considered, juries, the appeals courts and the ultimate, the Supreme court, are to be considered, but trial lawyers get the ball rolling and provide the cash to keep it rolling. The plaintiffs bar, of which trial lawyers are a part, finance the suits they file and only profit if they win.
But back to my original statement, in a global sense, economic activity is a good thing. The flow of dollars is a good thing. Else how would you and I make our dollars.
Best to be mindful of the sharks that lurk in deep water as most of us are comparitivly small fish. |

Chuck, do you not think that perhaps juries rather than trial lawyers are the 'ultimate police' in the tort world? |

While I agree that the fear of litigation does keep some products off the market, I would argue that most of the affected products are those that should be kept off the market. I would also agree that a "litigation tax" raises the purchase price of the items that it is applied to. However, I stick to my original statement which is that the flow of dollars, economic activity, is a good thing.
Another thought is that trial lawyers are the ultimate police, at least in the business world. Who else could have called "big tobacco" to taw? |

Why does the flow of dollars, representing economic activity, trouble anyone?
Economic activity is a good thing. Ole Henry Ford started it when he raised worker's salaries and cut hours. In the process he created a market for his cars. A market that drives our economy today. |

How did North Carolina miss that list, for a while, every year you had a cane out there. |
