Handel on the Law, Marginal Legal Advice. 

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, this is handle on the law, marginal legal
advice where I tell you have no case. I want
to go back to the debate with Donald Trump and
Kamala Harris. And the reason I'm going back is that
a lawsuit out of that, actually a criminal complaint has

(00:21):
just been filed.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Okay, so let's go back.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
And I thought the most interesting part of that debate
is Donald Trump arguing and he's doing an anti immigration thing,
and he's arguing that the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio,
we're eating their pets, eating their dogs and cats.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
And then he repeated, they're eating their dogs and cats.
They're eating their cats, They're eating their dogs.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
All right, Well, needless to say, there's not a whole
lot of proof of not even recipe books out there
with the Haitian community.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
So you think there'd be defamation.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Although a community can sue for defamation, it has to
be individuals.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
But I'll tell you what a community can do.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
A the group's attorney actually filed a criminal complaint against
Donald Trump and JD.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Vance.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
How do they do that?

Speaker 1 (01:20):
How does a group of citizens file a criminal complaint?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
It's only the prosecuting authorities.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well, Ohio happens to have a law that allows a
criminal complaint to be filed. Now then it goes to
the DA and decides whether or not to file, but
the initial filing can be done.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
And so they are suing the.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Haitian community is suing Donald Trump and JD Vance for
making that accusation. By the way, they've doubled down. They've
never said no, there's no evidence whatsoever. I mean, as
a matter of fact, the evidence is that they cite
a woman called in who said she had heard someone
say that they're eating their dogs and cats. And then

(02:07):
the woman who called in said, I actually didn't hear
from a woman. I heard from a woman who said
she heard from a woman that the Haitian community is
eating dogs and cats, they're eating their pets. And that
was uttered during a presidential debate as fact, by the way,

(02:28):
not as there's an accusation, as fact, they're eating their
dogs and cats. So with that, criminal complaint has been
filed saying that they basically straight out lied, and the
Haitian community is in a lot of trouble and not
only getting threats.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
I mean, it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Because as soon as that was uttered, the threats started
coming in the death threats and Springfield, Ohio had to
shut down. Schools had to shut down, the hospital had
to I mean, the office is the municipal offices had
to shut down because the threats were coming in so
hot and heavy. And the mayor is a Republican and

(03:11):
he wouldn't outright say what is Donald Trump doing to us,
say well, there is no proof. And then when Trump
offered to go to Springfield, the mayor said, yeah, maybe
that's not such a great idea. All right, So we
go to the campaign communications director, that's the tramp Trump
Vance communications director issues a statement saying that Trump is

(03:35):
rightfully highlighting the failed immigration system that Kamala Harris has
overseen bringing thousands of illegal immigrants pouring into the communities
like Springfield and many others.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Okay, two problems with that number. One, every one of
those Haitians are legal.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Now you may disagree with the asylum program that they
came under, but that's legal. They applied for were granted asylum,
so that's not illegal. And then rightful, those statements rightfully
highlighting the failed immigration system. So I guess under that premise,

(04:10):
if the argument is made that Haitians are eating their
children and barbecuing them on a spit, and someone is
with the handle rolling the spit over like you do
with a pig, and they're eating those kids. The response
would be that Trump and Vance are quote rightfully highlighting.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
The failled immigration system. H I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
And that's tough for the Haitian community because they're under
a lot of stress. I mean, the death threats are
just flying in.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I hope the prosecuting attorney actually goes goes on that one.
I really do. All right, some phone calls and let's
do it. All right, we'll start with you, Linda, Welcome
to handle on the law.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
Oh I Bill, I came out of a building that
is part of a larger industrial park and when I
came out, I tripped over an uneven sidewalk and I
broke my arm really bad. I had to get a
two plate screwed in and yeah, so yeah, just my

(05:21):
two bones broke off.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Oh that's lovely. Okay, So you got your damages. That's
pretty extensive. You've been banged up enough too. I have
certainly the personal injury lawyer look at it. When you tripped,
when you said the sidewalk was uneven.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
How uneven are we talking about?

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Well, it was apparently a little less than an inch.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Okay, Yeah, And it's a sidewalk that's used, and you
were on the sidewalk coming out of a building and
just belonged to a belonged to whoever the property owner is.
And it's part and parcel of that that piece of correct.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Correct. But my question is the owner of that business
when he came out and he saw me, he let
me know, he said that industrial park has insurance. Then
he looked at me and he said, we have our
own independent insurance because it happened in front of his storefront.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Okay, and so I got it. So there's tons of insurance.
What's your question, Linda?

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Do I sue the industry?

Speaker 2 (06:27):
You don't sue anybody. You turn it over to a
personal injury lawyer. Is what you do?

Speaker 5 (06:33):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, you don't touch it.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
You definitely there's enough there where you get a personal
injury lawyer and you do whatever that lawyer tells you
to do.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
You don't say who has insurance? You don't think about it.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
I mean, it's good news that there's insurance, but normally
there is insurance. The only issue here is liability. Your
damages are terrific. You know, lawyers like you being really hurt.
I mean more hurt you are, the better. I mean
that the lawyer would love it if your head came
off and the torso walked in and sued.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
So you're okay there. If you don't, do you have
a lawyer?

Speaker 4 (07:08):
I contacted one that somebody recommended, and he said, unfortunately,
because it wasn't like over a certain.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Height, I don't know the answer to that. And you
know what, let me give you another lawyer. Go to
handle on the law dot com. Go to my website
and we have and we have personal injury lawyers there
that will either say, yeah, he was right the law
the first lawyer was right, or no, we have a
case and you need an X you'd need a real
expert because that is those those cases get to be

(07:42):
pretty financially big, especially with the kind of damage personal
injury that you sustain. So go to handle on the
law dot com and just get hold of one of
those lawyers.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Okay, Denise, Yes, ma'am, Hey Bill.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
I got a question for you.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Sure.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
My mother, my stepmom, was living with me. She's eighty
seven years old. She's elderly, couldn't walk good, and I
had her going to my doctor. Then all of a sudden,
his attitude was you don't talk, you listen. She wasn't
allowed to ask any questions either, was I. I was

(08:23):
not allowed in the room when she was being examined,
and so he had set her a week later appointment.
I took her in for that appointment, and he calls
me back to his office and starts tuning me out.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
What is she doing here?

Speaker 6 (08:43):
I says, you had made the appointment. He says, she's
not supposed to be back here. Well, when I brought
her home, she started brewing about it. Two days later,
she tried to commit suicide.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Okay, And your question is.

Speaker 6 (08:59):
My question is it went from there to she went
into hospice and she passed away, okay, because she couldn't
after she after her episode of the suicide, she couldn't walk,
she couldn't stand.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
And you want to know if the doctor, You want
to know if the doctor we would be responsible for that?

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Correct?

Speaker 1 (09:18):
No, absolutely not. You can't connect the dots on this one. Nope,
there's just no way. And so I'm going to blame
you for a moment not for the.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Death or anything. As soon as the doctor said get
out of the room.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
At that point, why don't just pull her out because
it's your doctor and go to a doctor that wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Do that because you're not even you don't sure you
are sure, you are well?

Speaker 1 (09:44):
You know my kids, My kids are twenty nine, and
if I take them to the doctor, could I go in?

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Of course, as long as the patient says yes, sure,
because your.

Speaker 6 (09:57):
Doctor said no, I'd like her there, right, So.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
The doctor isn't at that point.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
At that point, you walk out the door and you
go to a doctor that lets you go in.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Your doctor's an ass. Your doctor is an ass.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
But you're not going to be able to commit She
she was so depressed about the fact that you weren't
able to come in. And the doctor sent her home
and then she tried to commit suicide, and then she
went at the hospice and then she died.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
You can't connect the dots on that one. You just can't.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
And yes, the doctor is a complete ass.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Jay, Hello, j welcome.

Speaker 7 (10:36):
Yes, hi Bill, big fan. So I've got a unique
situation here that I'd like to run by you. I
purchased a brand new car, paid cash for it in
October of twenty twenty two. It was one of the
premium Japanese brands. I don't know if you want me
to mention names, I don't care and okay, And so
what happened was year one, no problem, reregistered the brand.

(10:58):
Well this October when it became due, I never received
the registration and so I went down to TRIPAA to
try to register it. There they said, hey, there's some
kind of error message. Go to the DMV. I go
to the DMV. They say there is a hold on
the registration and they give me the number of the
DMV legal department. I call the DMV legal department and

(11:19):
as it turns out, the dealership is being sued by
the finance company. Apparently twenty other vehicles are involved in this,
and so there is no I can't do anything with
the title.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, I don't understand the there's a hold. I don't
understand that. The explain to me the dealership is being
sued and the hold is for what.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
What is the dealership being accused of.

Speaker 7 (11:45):
Well, they went bankrupt and apparently they never paid the
finance company for the vehicles that they sold. I'm assuming
I can't say for a fact, there's no one sharing
this information that they sold the vehicle and then kept
the money. That's my assumption, understand.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
But I don't understand why the hold is on you
for the registration because you bought the car so it's yours,
and then you registered the car so it's yours, and
then the following year because the dealership is being sued.
I don't understand how that connects to you.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
That is weird.

Speaker 8 (12:21):
Well that's yeah, it is weird.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
And yeah, that is weird.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
No, you're right, that is a unique situation and the
DMV won't help you, is what you're saying.

Speaker 7 (12:30):
Well, the DMV attorney basically said that this thing is
going to be involved in a lawsuit for the next
couple of years. So, I mean, I'm not sure what
recourse unlike that.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, I don't either. I mean, I mean, what do
you what do you do? I mean, are you got
what You're going to.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Go to court and have a court order that in
your case unless you do a class action suit of
twenty people. No idea if a court would even certify
a twenty person class And yeah, you got to mess
on your hands. Man, I don't know, you know, I
can't tell you anything more than you're doing. You went
to the DMV, you went to the auto club, and

(13:09):
the auto club excuse me. The DMV attorney said, it'll
take a couple of years. But if you can't register
the car, you get tagged, they can take the car.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Exactly, Yeah, boy.

Speaker 7 (13:21):
They can, so the car can Can the car be repossessed?

Speaker 2 (13:25):
That repossessed? I don't think so, because.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Did you you pay cash so you didn't finance the car,
so there's no one to repossess the car because you
don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Owly any money on the car.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
The whole thing is a registration issue, you know, beyond
going to the lawyer, beyond doing.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
What you did.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
I don't know where to go on that because I
would do exactly what you did.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
All right, let me talk to you about your business
for a moment.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
The less your business spends on delivering your product or service,
the more margin you have, frankly bytomns more money that
you keep. And that's what all of us business people.
Everything's more expensive these days across the board.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Costs have gone up, and materials and employees and distribution
borrowing money. It just costs more.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Now, let's talk about reducing your costs and your headaches
with NetSuite by Oracle. NetSuite is the number one cloud
financial system and it brings accounting, financial management inventory. If

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Hello Alan, what can I do for you?

Speaker 9 (15:04):
Yeah, Bill, I have a question regarding a will. My
mother in law just recently passed away, and in she
has five adult children. She named my wife and her
one of her other daughters as executors and one ahead

(15:24):
and left her estate between both of them and two grandchildren.
The other three adult children really have kind of not
kept in contact, basically kind of disowned mom for the
last several years. Seeing this is a will and not

(15:44):
a trust, can the will be contested basically it was done.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
The trust can be contested.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Anything can be contested, Alan, But I'm assuming the how
is the property was not put into a trust. Correct,
It's just been left there. That's the assumption I'm making.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
So I'm sorry. It was just okay, so it's just
a mom's name.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, it can be Yeah, Alan, quick, you know just
how much? How much money we talking about? What's the
value of all of this put together?

Speaker 9 (16:17):
Less than two hundred and fifty thou dollars.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Okay, Yeah, it can be contested, but whoever contests it
is not going to win. So there's not enough money
there for an attorney to jump in and really.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Fight it because the attorney's going to get nothing. I'm
assuming the other three are not going.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
To pay the thousands of dollars that it would take
to contest a will, that that lawsuit or that contesting
would lose.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
So I think your mom is I think the will
is going to hold up. It won't be a problem.

Speaker 10 (16:52):
It's okay, terrific, Okay, I was hoping that thanks, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
That's the course, that's the case.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
And then you asked them, and by the way, you
get a second you know, you tell those people, I
don't think you have a case, Go get a lawyer,
and if you want a second opinion, get a lawyer
that will tell you that you're ugly.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
On top of that and hello, Ann, welcome.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
Yes, still, I was going to see if you would
be able to give a reference for an attorney that
would handle expungements and possible pardon for a fraud with
that checks.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Where you know what, I don't have any recommendations for
that on my website. My website is primarily malpractice and
personal injuries, so I can't do it. And you're talking
about if you're talking about an expungement a criminal matter.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
It's just any criminal attorney. And then you get to
do the research.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
So you go to family members who have, for example,
committed murder or arm robbery that are doing jail time.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
You can ask them for their opinion.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Any friends that are in prison for twenty twenty five years,
for example, for crimes, they may have an opinion. Well, no,
because they're sitting in jail and the attorney didn't. Uh.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
No, you get to do a little bit of research,
uh and look at reviews and uh. You people may
know lawyers if you've ever dealt with.

Speaker 5 (18:14):
A lawyer, I sid one and I wasn't sure if
they were worth anything.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
I don't know. You can do research on it.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
You look to see if there are any complaints with
the state bar, although I don't know if that helps
you very much. You look to see if there are
any lawsuits against that attorney. Although criminal lawyers rarely you
see lawsuits against them.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Just it's it's tough. I mean, it is tough finding
a lawyer when you don't know where to go.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
And I can't give you referrals because I handle on
the law dot com basically does personal injury.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
And that's it.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
And uh, that's you know, what can I tell you?
Otherwise it gets completely crazy? Will hello, will welcome.

Speaker 11 (18:54):
Bill?

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (18:55):
Right hip replace. I had my right hip replaced about
six years ago, and I have lost mobility to the
point where I used a walker and could barely walk
with the walker. I felt like I was looking at
a wheelchair. I went to a chiropract or, something I've
never done before. He has a degree in biophysics in
addition to chiropractic medicine. And he said, my left hip

(19:16):
is three quarters of an inch eighteen point eight millimeters
shorter than my right hip. They put in a hip
that was too long.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
Hm.

Speaker 11 (19:23):
And I wonder if I have a case or that
you might.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
You might.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
It's yeah, I don't know at what point the line
is crossed where it's it is malpractice. I mean, it
could be that X number of cases there you limp,
or it's not, it's not correct, or that's just the
way life goes kind of thing, you know, for example.

(19:49):
And I'm going to give you an example in terms
of the world of stetrics, and this is the analogy.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
It's not a direct connection.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
But in the world of obstetrics, assuming the doctors all
do a job they're supposed to do, no malpractice, you've
got a two to three percent anomaly rate where the
kid's going to be screwed up just by nature of well,
nature of what God does.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
But of course they get sued, you know, doctors get
sued instantly.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
So the point is, I don't know how far your
leg is off where it is considered malpractice. So I'm
going to suggest One of the things you can do
is go to handle on the lot dot com and
you will be referred to a medical malpractice attorney, because
those two medical malpractice and personal injury are pretty close.

(20:42):
So I don't know the answer specifically, but it sounds
like you certainly want to look into it.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
By the way, do you like that is entertaining as hell?

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Do you like drag your foot when you walk like
young Frankenstein?

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Do you like drag it?

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:58):
But I'm better at looking there you go?

Speaker 1 (21:00):
All right, Well that didn't help. That was pretty an answer. Actually,
you know, not bad. I've done worse, that's for sure.
Don Hello, Don, welcome to Handle on the Law.

Speaker 10 (21:12):
Hey bo, I've heard you say many times that you
carry about a million dollars with a liability and you're
automobile actually.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Five hundred thousand, fifty five hundred, and then I have
an umbrella policy on top of that.

Speaker 10 (21:23):
Well, the reason why I asked my future sudden in
the law got just wiped out in an accident while
he's at work. He was spent twenty one days in
the hospital for a while furs and I'm sure his yeah,
and he had broke his back in three places like
I mean, this kid got creamed and the guy had
eighteen thousand dollars worth a liability.

Speaker 8 (21:42):
How do you go.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Eighteen thousand dollars? It's fifteen thirty in California.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Where do you get eighteen thousand?

Speaker 10 (21:48):
Well, well maybe it's me.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
I'm old.

Speaker 10 (21:51):
He had fifteen thousands. Okay, so can you go after
him for more money?

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Sure, you can go after him and not take the settlement.
The problem is does he does he have money? What
kind of assets is the guy who hit your son
and his son la son.

Speaker 10 (22:09):
A speecher, son of law. He's he's Hispanic, He's got
a lot of money in Mexico. I think they.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Doesn't collect you pretty good. Yeah, it's not pretty good.

Speaker 10 (22:21):
So he has liabilities, they can be they can be
gone after.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
I mean, because you go past the insurance.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
What you do is I'm not expecting I'm not accepting
fifteen thousand dollars. So you go after him and you
sue him for the damages, which in this case are astronomical.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
You're talking it maybe seven.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Figures here or more. You're talking about that big a case.
The problem is you got to get it from someplace.
And if you take the fifteen thousand. That's it, and
he's not gonna get any money because the medical costs.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Are so high. That's all you're gonna get.

Speaker 10 (23:00):
Oh, this is a workman's comp claim as well as
a PI. So they were saying that that they have
to settle the claim so they could and then workman's
comp is going to take part of the fifteen thousand.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah, that's the other.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
So so is he on disability.

Speaker 10 (23:16):
He's on a workman's camp and so he's getting a
workman's campaign.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
He's getting workers comp. But that translates at some point
into disability.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Whether it's person temperary or Yeah, you know, I got
to tell you. I think here's here's the problem. Don
he got hit by the wrong guy. If he had
been hit by an Amazon truck or a Coca Cola truck,
then you go to work. It was just bad luck.
There's no place to go. Unfortunately, there's no place to

(23:45):
go on that one. He's got totally screwed.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
I mean, it's a heartbreaker when that happens. So here's
a takeaway.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
If you are going to get in an accident of
that magnitude, if you are going to get banged.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Up where you and twenty one days in the hospital and.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Your back is broken in a few places, and effectively
you're not gonna be.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Able to work.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Always always get hit by a UPS truck or a
Coca Cola truck or any of those trucks.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Hello John, Hey Bill.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
I went to a car wash and the kind you
drive through yourself, and the brush ripped off my antenna
and scratched my top of my car. The owner said
that there's nothing you can do about it and just
to go pound sand.

Speaker 8 (24:33):
Okay, do I have a case?

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Sure you do, Sure you do.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
I mean you take photos, of course, and you know
what's the owner going to say, I am not responsible
for any damage that I do to your car due
to my.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Negligence, of course not.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
So you get to figure out what is going to
cost to have it fixed, and I'm assuming it's under
ten thousand dollars, and.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
You file a small claim suit against the owner. Now
it's probably a corporation, so you have to file.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Find out who owns it, and that's a little bit
of research on your part, but then you just sue
the owner individually and certainly the corporation that owns the property,
because if you sue the owner and he is not.
And if it's a corporation, probably is an LLC that
actually owns the car wash. They're the ones that be responsible.
But yeah, of course you have a lawsuit there. I mean,

(25:22):
there's no question about it.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Oh, Hi, Dan, you're up, welcome to handle on the law.

Speaker 7 (25:28):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Bill.

Speaker 12 (25:30):
Yeah, I just had a question about my rental property.
I evicted some tenants. They failed to pay rent for
a few months, and when we went and looked at
the home.

Speaker 10 (25:43):
They completely trashed the place.

Speaker 12 (25:46):
It's I've had a contractor. Look, it's going to be
it's going to cost me about thirty thousand dollars.

Speaker 7 (25:52):
Oh lovely, I was just excuse.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Me, lovely, I said, oh.

Speaker 11 (25:59):
Yes, quite low.

Speaker 12 (26:01):
Yeah, And so I'm I'm just calling to see if
you had any suggestions.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, I do. I have plenty of suggestions. Number One,
hopefully you have some kind of insurance that would cover it.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
They're gonna probably say no. Two, you simply sue the tenant.
Problem is if they don't have the money to pay,
where are you gonna get the money?

Speaker 2 (26:25):
You'll get your judgment. That's not a problem.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
I mean, I have to do with show pictures and
which I assume you've taken, and you go, here's the damage,
Here's how much is gonna cost.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
You go to court.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
You have to find them to sue a loss, file
lawsuit and serve it. They're probably here's what is probably
gonna happen. They're not even gonna go show up. You're
gonna get your judgment. You're gonna have that judgment in
your hand, and now you get to go collect that
judgment and find these people and find where they work,
if they work, or find assets.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Center the time, you're just gonna lose it all.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
You've got a tax deduction if it's a rental property,
hopefully you have insurance, but there's not much you can do.
This is one of the reasons I got out of rentals,
because even though I had property that was increasing in
value dramatically, I just got out of rentals because I.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Just couldn't take it anymore. So, Hey, what can I
tell you?

Speaker 1 (27:22):
You have to be more careful you rent next time? Yeah, yeah,
you can do something legally. I can help you, But then.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Collecting is everything. Let me see who's up there for
a while, because there's some good questions. All right, Here
you go Michael, you're up. Welcome.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Hi.

Speaker 8 (27:42):
My wife just had a radical hysterectomy because of a
cancer diagnosis. We went to a major hospital in the
area and she's okay. It was a very rare cancer
and in the process of getting the pathology, the report
came back and on it it did not include one
of her ovaries, so that we got all the pathology

(28:05):
but except one of the ovaries.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
And my wife.

Speaker 8 (28:08):
I tell my wife that I want to sue, and
she says she doesn't want to sue because what are.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
You going to sue for? What are you going to
sue for?

Speaker 8 (28:16):
Well, because they lost they we were expecting a pathology
from all the organs.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Understand now, I understand, But what are you going to
sue for.

Speaker 8 (28:27):
Not giving us a full report and losing it?

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Lose the I don't know if the ovary rolled under
the table, But what are your damages? I didn't get
the full pathology on that ovary, therefore I am damaged?

Speaker 2 (28:41):
How much? What's the damage?

Speaker 11 (28:43):
Well?

Speaker 8 (28:43):
Is that was that well in that ovary? Is that
where the cancer would have been found?

Speaker 2 (28:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
I have no idea, But is the cancer hold on?

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Is the cancer gone.

Speaker 8 (28:57):
Everywhere excepting that ovary, perhaps.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Perhaps, Okay, So you're gonna go up there and you're
gonna make the claim. And the first thing that's going
to be asked is, Michael, where'd you go to medical school?
And by the way, let's talk about your residency in
reproductive medicine and surgery.

Speaker 8 (29:14):
Your lawyer, I'll your lawyer.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
What do you think a lawyer is going to take
the case.

Speaker 8 (29:19):
I'm wondering that's that.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
I don't think so. And what is so?

Speaker 1 (29:22):
All you can do is ask for money, Michael, So
how much money do you think it is worth? That
they didn't include the pathology on the ovary, which might
cause cancer at some point.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
But your wife doesn't have cancer right now? How much
is that worth?

Speaker 8 (29:42):
She doesn't have cancer everywhere except in the ovary that
they lost, and should how.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Do you know if they How do you know she
had cancer in that ovary if you don't know where.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
That ovary is? So there's no explain to.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Me howtherapy Now, Okay, hold on a minute, so you okay,
let me let me get this straight. You're arguing that
she had cancer no place other than the ovary, of
which they can't find that's where.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
The cancer was. Correct, they found they found the cancer
no place else?

Speaker 7 (30:14):
Correct?

Speaker 8 (30:16):
Correct?

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Then she didn't have cancer.

Speaker 8 (30:20):
Well there's a there's a good chance that she'll be
fine' No.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
No does she? Did she have cancer?

Speaker 4 (30:26):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (30:27):
Or no?

Speaker 8 (30:28):
She had?

Speaker 2 (30:29):
And now okay, and that came from the old and
you know it came from the ovary.

Speaker 8 (30:34):
No, no, no, they I don't know where it came from.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Frank, All right, let me tell you. We're gonna go
around and around on this one.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
So yeah, once again, who the hell knows which way
you're gonna go on this?

Speaker 2 (30:45):
All right? Let me tell you about your bad breath.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
And man, you have plenty of it, we all do.
So let me suggest a way out of it. With
the Zelman's minty Mouthman's tiny little capsules that you swallow.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
First of all, there's mint code. They're coded with mint.
You stuck on the mint, then they're gone, the mint
is gone.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Then you swallow or bite into them and the parsley
seed oil and the capsules goes to work inside the
gut and other min's don't do that. And that works
on bad breath. And if you have dry mouth, that helps.
And also they just make it feel good. You know,
there's nothing like when you brush your teeth. For example,
we have that fresh feeling we do with hours with
Zelman's minte Mouthman's.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
These things really work.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
So let me suggest you get a hold of Zelman's
Zelmans dot com Z E L M I n S
dot com fifteen percent off when you use the code
handle at checkout and take advantage of the fifteen percent
Zelman's dot com also quickly the numbers I'm gonna give
because I'm going to walk out in just a second

(31:47):
and you can call. I'm going to answer the phone
calls off the air, so feel free.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
The number is eight hundred five two zero one five
three four.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Everybody, I'll have a chance to ask me a question,
and of course I will give you the kind of
legal advice I'm so famous for.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Eight hundred five two zero one five three four. This
