harbl, i have a lawyerly question for you

so harbl:

if a personal injury suit has reached the settlement stage, and then the insurance company of the defendant decides to not sign the release, then they agree to but they write out the check 'incorrectly', and now the judge has told them they will have to pay $1000 per day they are late writing out a check that can actually be cleared.... well, what do you think this means? they can't pay? they're going bankrupt and are stalling for time so they don't have to fork out any money? once a settlement has been reached and they have signed a release, is there anyway they can get out of paying it?

ummmmm this is not really a lawyerly question. i don't know about insurance companies or any type of business. i do know you can get out of paying by being "insolvent," i.e., bankrupt. could be what's happening, or they're just jerks.

yeah i know, but you're pretty smart, i figured you might know more than me about this kind of situation!

lol :)

i bet jaq would know, she knows everything

harbl, i have a lawyerly joke for you

jaq really is one of those ppl who knows everything!

update: the insurance co coughed up the check at the last minute, albeit with as many complications/obstacles as they could muster.

let's hear this joke, jergy

jaq really is one of those ppl who knows everything!

what makes her the best is she's one of those people that knows a lot but isn't condescending about it, just helpful and nice. so gd rare

oh you guys, making me blush. idk anything about getting money out of insurance companies - boo for their procrastinating foot-dragging you-are-not-the-boss-of-me check writing tantrums. I hope it clears.

jergz otm!

insurance companies can all go suck a dick imo
