This is "CLASSIC"......Dick C.
Charlotte , North Carolina A lawyer purchased a box of very rare and
expensive cigars, then insured them against, among other things, fire.
Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great
cigars and
without yet having made even his first premium payment on the
policy the
lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company.
In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost "in a series
of small
fires."
The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason,
that the
man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.
The lawyer sued, and WON! (so what else is new?)
(Stay with me.)
Delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company
that the
claim was frivolous. The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer
held a
policy from the company, which it had warranted that the cigars
were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them
against fire,
without defining what is considered to be unacceptable "fire" and was
obligated to pay the claim.
Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance
company
accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the
cigars lost in the "fires".
NOW FOR THE BEST PART:
After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him
arrested on
24 counts of ARSON!!!
(Good for them!!!)
With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case
being used
against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his
insured
property, was sentenced to a 24 months in jail and a $24,000
fine
This is a true story and was the First Place winner in the recent
Criminal
Lawyers Award Contest.
ONLY IN AMERICA!
NO WONDER THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES THINK WE'RE NUTS!
