Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to k I AM six forty the Bill
Handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio f k I
six forty Bill Handled Here a Saturday morning. The first
three hours as we start the show, and always first
(00:21):
hour top of the hour, lines are completely empty, and
you can call at eight hundred five two zero one
five three four. By the way, I think the lines
are jammed up. No, I'm sorry, they're not connected.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Mario. I've got the red circle with the line going
through it. There we go. Excellent.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Mario's our new guy. So we're just getting to know
each other. Mario is not particularly attractive, but you know,
reasonably smart on the IQ, probably around seventy five eighty.
All right, eight hundred five two zero one five three four, Mario,
welcome a boar. You gotta get a lifetime of this.
You know that, don't you?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
So I've been sold. Good morning everybody.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Yes, Okay, Before before we get to the show, I
want to just do a quick mention about something that
happens once a year and no place else in the
world has this, And in southern California is a pageant
of the Masters, and it's real people transforming themselves into
works of art, and it's nothing like you have ever seen.
(01:30):
As I said, only in southern California. Only the world
doesn't have this. And so there's a full orchestra and
it just goes on and on until September fourth. I'm
ticket start at forty two dollars, so it's relatively inexpensive.
Just just google pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach,
(01:50):
it'll tell you all about it. And you know, I
go every year, all right, the phone number eight hundred
and five two zero one five three four eighth five
to zero one five three four that's the number to call,
and of course we're gonna be together for three lovely hours.
And phone calls go pretty quickly because as you know,
(02:10):
patients is my middle name, and I go through these
calls very quickly. I hang up on people, which I
really enjoy telling them that they have absolutely no case,
which is particularly enjoyable.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
And we always start with a story.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
This is handle on the law. Marginal legal advice. Now,
one of the things that are a complete pain in
the rear end is how we do time. And twice
a year we go from standard time to daylight savings
time back to standard.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Time, and it really screws people up.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
So a new bill introduced in Congress looks like it
could drastically change how we observe the way we change
our clocks. Now, this is a weird one because it's
going to move us to standard time as the baseline.
So we're going to run on standard time according to
this bill forever. However, there's been a move and this
(03:07):
for years, to make daylight saving time permanent.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
So what's going on?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
And so for the last few years there have been
several attempts to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, and now
the Sunshine Protection Act passed through the Senate is the
other way. And it's been going back and forth mainly
daylight saving time for years. So the House could vote
on that move that would end the twice yearly change
(03:37):
the clocks. And there's been that back and forth relationship
with daylight saving time. Each attempt to move it into
daylight saving times has failed, and the House, as I said,
takes a different approach completely. The bill is Sunshine for
Our Kids Act of twenty twenty six, introduced by Mary
(04:00):
And Democrat from Pennsylvania and Republican Pat Harrington from North Carolina,
Permanent standard time wooh. Now, health experts agree that standard
time is better for our health, and making the efforts
to daylight saving times is more political than it is
health wise. And then we start breaking it down because
(04:21):
nearly twenty states have passed legislation to observe daylight savings
time year round. By the way, it's daylight saving, not saving.
So I always get it wrong. And so the bill,
the Sunshine Act for Kid for Our Kids, would allow
states to make that daylight saving time permanent if they
choose to, but the national policy will be standard time,
(04:45):
allowing the states to go Nope, we don't want to
do that, which of course means is going to be
screwed up all over the place. And maybe your state
is going to go to one or the other because
the state's going to be able to choose.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Right now, states are only permitted to observe standard time
year round.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So that is the law.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
And now it's a little complicated. Two dozen states have
considered bills this year that would make the standard time permanent.
All of them have stalled out, and they're you know,
I don't care. I like daylight saving time. It doesn't
matter to me. I wake up at the crack of
the middle of the night anyway, So that's I just
(05:29):
find that interesting or not, depending on what time you
wake up. Okay, let's go. Let's take some phone calls.
What do you think, Melanie interesting one?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Hello, Melanie, good morning.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I have a bundle with direct TV, my internet and
my landline phone. The charge is two hundred and fifty
four dollars. I get an email that says you're going
your credit card will be charged on this date. The
next email says, my charge was paid by my Discover card.
(06:08):
I don't have a Discover card. Somebody is paying my bill.
What is my responsibility here?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Okay, yeah, your legal responsibility is to pay your bill. Now,
let's get practical. Someone else is paying your bill.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And was it an email or was it stale mail
that you got?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Email?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Okay, we just didn't get it me.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
They delivered it, but you deleted it by accident, so
you have no idea what happened. Now, it's a service
they're providing for you, so they can retro actively go
back and credit or credit the person paying for it
right now, and you are going to be stuck with
the bill because you're using the service. Also, I think
(06:52):
the user of your card in your name is could
theoretically sue you?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
What I would do? And here, by the way, this
is practical.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Well, may I tell you? I called AT and T
and the rep said, well, what do you want us
to do? Put the money back on the Discover car.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Oh that's very good, that's very good news. Leave it alone.
Just take the money and put in the bank.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I'm saving the money.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Just good. That's exactly what you do.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Just save the money and it may fall through the
cracks and you are very lucky because you get a
freebie for a while. Now legally responsible, yeah, probably, but
I would leave it alone. See, this is the kind
of advice I give you. The law is one thing,
and I'm telling you exactly the opposite, which is why
this is marginal legal advice.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
All right, Marga Marcia, what's up.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Yes, I'm having in some bad issues with an accident
that I had March twenty first. I'm on my second
attorneys and they're just all giving me the run around.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Okay, well yeah, well let's talk how badly.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Basically, I was trapped in my car and they totaled
my car.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Okay, that's that's not you being injured that's your car
being injured and your jury if you have what.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
I was injured. So my injury was beg your pardon.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
How were you injured?
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Okay? I could not move my legs. They were stop
underneath the steering.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Okay, so it's trapped in the car.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Okay, I understand that. I mean, that's one thing, and
there there's some liability there. Now, you couldn't move your
legs any permanent injustry paralyzed, lost your legs, Your legs
went backwards.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
What happened as a result of the accident, Okay.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
What happened was the center of my spine. It shattered.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Okay, you can stop. Oh, stop right there, stop right there.
Uh you've got a case? Oh do you have a case?
I do not understand why two lawyers are giving you
the run around? What are they telling you about case?
Why are you what are they saying?
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Basically, they're stalling the first one, Jacobe and Myers.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Oh no, don't mention names. Don't mention names. I don't
want to hear it.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Okay you I had to do all the leg work
with the first one.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Okay, all right, the.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Second ones are jerking me around.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Okay, stop my cars.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
All right, stop it stop stop right there. I think
you have the wrong lawyers. I go to handle on
the law dot com.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Go to my website.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
You'll talk to a lawyer because you should not do
any work on it. The lawyer, especially considering your your
swine was shattered. I mean that that's serious stuff. Go
to the website and the lawyer should handle everything, not
asking you much. Just you can just say here's what happened,
(09:47):
and they do the work.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
All right. I think you have the wrong lawyers.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
So you now, how do I go about it again?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You should go to handle on the law dot com.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Okay, handle on the law dot com. You can also
talk about your hearing loss because that looks like damage
to handle on the law dot com.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
All right, try that and.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
You'll probably get a phone number and you can call in.
As a matter of fact, you can call eight eight
eight eight eight eight eight six six eight. And exactly
when I say get a lawyer. One of the lawyers
that I'm suggesting is on handle on the law dot com,

slip and fall, don't know where to go, So these
lawyers are vetted. I make the phone call if there's
a problem eight eight eight eight six six eight, or

Speaker 7 (10:47):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
am six forty eight.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Eight hundred five two zero one five three four eight
hundred five two zero one five three four and we
have lines that are open because it's our number one
and that's normally what happens. Welcome back. More Handle on
the Law, Marginal Legal Advice. Jason Europe. Hello Jason, Jason, Yeah, Jason, Yes,
(11:14):
I'm assuming that's you.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
I thought I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm sorry, I thought you
said Nathan. Yeah, okay, yeah, Thank you Bill, Thank you Bill.
We received by mail two administrative citations by mail back
to back. One was filled out at a fifty five
and the other one at a fifty six, and these
are for using fireworks in the city where you're not
(11:35):
allowed to use any kind of firewors. My grandkids went
ahead of used those same safe fireworks. However, in the
city they don't allow it okay. But what's surprising is
that these two citations were made out like a minute
after each other, and they're for one thousand dollars. Anything
I might be able to do with the city.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Oh yeah, I mean you're not going to hit with
both of them. It's for the same incident. However, Uh,
if you're gonna say it wasn't me, uh, that's a defense.
And uh, you know you're going to show up for
administrative hearing of some kind. Uh the uh, the administrative
judge is gonna go, uh, Jason, you know you only
have one hand. Uh, what's what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Now? What did your hand blow off?
Speaker 8 (12:21):
That's unfortunate, Drone.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Ah, too bad, because I love the stories where people
like those safe and sane fireworks, they're really unsafe and
insane and hands go blowing off, and stories of digits.
Yeah people, you know, people looking and they start a plotting.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Hey, you get them in my hand. There's a lot
of stuff on that one. So what you do? What
do they want you to do?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
And the administrative the the administrative citation.
Speaker 8 (12:47):
We'll pay one thousand dollars for each site.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Okay, Well that's easy, that's easy, all right.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
So you contact if you got it by email, I'm
assuming Uh, you simply write to the letter on the
email and say you've gotten for the same offense. Uh,
and that'll get straightened out. It fell through the cracks, okay, Okay, yeah,
and UH go ahead.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Fighting it. Okay, was it you?
Speaker 8 (13:13):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
So now you say it wasn't me because I really
lost my hand in another place and it's in a
jar of formaldehyde. No, if it wasn't you, or they
can't prove it was you, that's your defense. And you
say it wasn't me, that works because they have to
(13:35):
establish that it was you.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
So yeah, you've got a defense, especially if it's not
clear that it was you. You could say, yeah, somewhere
else they they took drone of that matter.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Where where was your backyard or was it out in
the street your backyard?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
That's that's tougher because usually when I was a kid,
and I had safe, unsafe and insane fireworks because I
lived the County of la and illegal and we just
go across to the county next door, Fintura County and
buy the fireworks and bring them back. It was always
in the middle of the street, So you have fireworks
showing off in your backyard.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah, it's going to be tough saying it's not.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
You contact them and hopefully you only get hit for
a thousand dollars or even try to reduce it.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I have no money. That's always a good defense.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
So I have no money, my dog is dying, my
mother has cancer, my family just got run over by cars.
I mean, there's a lot of stuff you can do
to reduce the fine. If you can, this administrative judge
can do that. Hey, Bob, welcome, Hi Bill.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
I have a medical question for you.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
So this last January, I had prostate surgery called hull up,
where they removed the tissue. So prior to the appointment,
the doctor said, you know you're going to have three
issues to our temporary which is bleeding and leaking. He
said it's should clear up in a few months. The
third one is permanent, which is ore to great ejaculation.
(15:01):
So I'm six months out. I've been bleeding, peing out
blood and lots of blood clots and tissue. So I
went to another urologist to do a cystoscopy where they
look inside the bladder and the urethra and the prostate,
and he said, it's a real mess in there. He said,
you've got two strictures, you've got ongoing bleeding. You're going
to need another surgery, like a.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Completely okay, all right, it sounds go ahead.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah, yeah, it's probably is. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
You go to another urologist, and you get yourself a
lawyer who practices medical malpractice. And what the lawyer does
is immediately look at what the Eurologists number two medical
records and sends you to Eurologists number three, who says, yeah,
(15:53):
there's a case here.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
It has to be certified.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
It sounds it, I mean, the bleeding and the clots
doesn't sound it also aculating backwards.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
That's kind of weird. You know.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I can't even imagine that one because it must feel
very weird.
Speaker 9 (16:09):
Just okay with that. But I'm more concerned about the
bleeding and leaking. I do have leukemia, so that could
also be Oh yeah, that's a problem recovery.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Also, I know, hunting for adult diapers at the cheapest
place you can go Costco is very strongly the way.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Costco any more money on diapers than growth.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, no, I know, no, no, I had I had
a back surgery and I couldn't move and I had
to pee at home, But then again I didn't I
was too embarrassed to buy diapers, so I just pete
on the floor. Okay, I want you to go to
handle on the Low dot com. Go to my website.
Now they only do personal injury, but they know everybody
(16:46):
that does medical malpractice and you will get a good referral.
This is definitely time to talk to a med mal
attorney and they'll tell you where to go. Do you
have a good case, you don't have a good case,
and you'll find out and based on what you say, yeah,
it sounds decent. Now I want to tell you about
your privacy. You don't have any People think they have privacy,
(17:06):
but you're dreaming. Everything about you is available online. Your
home address, where you work, where you bank, what you buy, where,
court wrecords, insurance records, DMV information, credit score. I mean,
it goes on forever. It's not hard to get. And
let me tell you what happens. All of your information
is collected by hundreds of data brokers and then they
(17:29):
sell it to anyone who wants to buy it. And
your data and your privacy is toast. I can find
out everything about you now. In Cogni is a company
that comes into play and actually fights back. In Cogni
contacts hundreds of these data brokers and legally demand your
information be deleted, and it does. In Cogni, I'm a
(17:50):
huge fan. Why well, I'm a customer and before the
show every morning, when I do the show, I log
onto Incogni and there it is hundreds of removal requests.
What's going on? Hundreds more are in progress, and I
see all of it. And you could do that every
day if you want. That's in Cogny sixty percent off

Speaker 3 (18:28):

bit more about that later on Boy this hour, we've
gotten a ton of those. The phone number here is
eight hundred five to two zero one five three four.
Welcome back. Handle on the law. Marginal Legal Advice Lindsey.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Hello Lindsay, Hey Bill.
Speaker 10 (18:53):
My daughter and her boyfriend were at the Ralph grocery
store Rolling Hills Plaza.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Oh great, why don't you mention the store exactly where
it is when they sue both of us?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Okay, good for you.
Speaker 10 (19:06):
Well I'm hoping to see them. Anyways. She was standing
in line waiting to check out and a woman came
from behind unprovoked. My went didn't see her in the
store or nothing, and hit her on the head with
a heavy object, which we still haven't yet to identify
because Ralph can release us the video footage. So my
daughter was obviously completely freaked out. Her boyfriend is an
ex police officer, restrained the woman. Torrent's police came, arrested her,
(19:30):
printed her, and unbeknownst to us, released her, and they
refuse to give my daughter the name of the woman.
They refused to let us see the surveillance tape and
went back to Ralphs. My daughter spoke to the manager.
She said, she goes it was brutal. It's like, you
need to go after this somehow, right, you figure it out.
So my question is this is not really a personal
(19:53):
injury thing. It gives an assault.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
It's a personal injury thing.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
It is absolutely a personal ang because there's two issues here,
the criminal aspect of this, which you can't do anything about,
and the civil aspect of it, which you can do
plenty about.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
So so your daughter was injured, right, But I mean she.
Speaker 10 (20:15):
Went she went home, that she went home that night.
We live maybe half a mile from there, and they
were walking home and the boyfriend who was with the
assailant saw them and said, I'm gonna stab.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Both of you.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
He lives like three blocks from my apartment, all right,
And but the police have been like they were like, hey,
this is yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah, I know. You're all pissed off of the police.
As you should be. Police.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
It's you should have said the guy brandished the gun
and just shot someone. Then the police come out. They
have so many phone calls that they they decide what
to go after and what they don't. It's not your call, unfortunately,
it's the police's call as to what they do, arresting them,
not arresting them, warning them.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Now, can you to the police.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Maybe for the second go round the brandishing of the weapon,
And but that's emotional distress, that's fear. The lawsuit you
have is against the guy who assaulted your daughter. Unfortunately,
that's it. You can sue the store, but they're gonna say,
(21:23):
what did we do wrong? We had a crazy person
in here? You know, is it our responsibility to what
make sure that no crazy person walks in our store
and make sure that nobody unbalanced medically or unbalanced in
terms of mental issues.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
We don't have.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Doctors here, we don't have psychologists here that screen everybody.
So unfortunately, the only defendant is going to be the
person that hit that assaulted your daughter.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I mean yeah, I'd say, well, yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
What kind of money? What kind of money do you
think that they have? So your daughter unfortunately, wrong place,
wrong time. I would have felt much better if an
Amazon driver delivering a package to the store decided to
smash her in the face.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
That would have been better. But that's it.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
You can and I think the lesson here is you
really can't force the police to do anything. However, you're
saying that this person should have not been released based
on what has happened, and therefore, and you have to
connect the dots, and you know I would, I would
talk to a personal injury lawyer. How badly was your
(22:30):
daughter banged up?
Speaker 10 (22:31):
No, she's fine, she's just really she's a public figure that.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
You have to go into that, okay.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
Yeah, and so she's freaked out about of course she was.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
You get freaked out. Yeah, no, I understand you get
freaked out. But you know, people get freaked out all
the time. It's a good chance if I met you
on the street, I'd be freaked out just by meeting you.
So there isn't a whole lot there. But it's still
worth talking to a p I lawyer. Why because the
argument was and filing a claim against the cops. But man,
and that becomes so so difficult. Brad Hi, brad Hi,
(23:05):
How you doing, Bill, Yes, sir.
Speaker 11 (23:07):
I recently, I've been disabled for the past six weeks
and I've been eating salad from a local pizza restaurant
and it's they've got some great salads.
Speaker 9 (23:19):
While at Vintager at barbecue chicken.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
Anyway, that's all I've been eating for five weeks and.
Speaker 9 (23:25):
I came up with the coal I.
Speaker 12 (23:27):
I was diagnosed with the coal.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I and I got really six Yeah.
Speaker 11 (23:33):
And I'm just you know, taking antibiotics right now, trying
to recover from it, and I'm just wondering if I
have a case.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Yeah, you might, depending on how sick you really got
and if you were hospitalized.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I mean, the restaurant is I had a heart attack.
While a heart.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Attack is going to be difficult to connect the dots
there because people who Yeah, that's not going to be easy.
Speaker 9 (23:59):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
The the part that is going to be fairly easy
as you go against the restaurant as well as the
people who distribute the whatever. Uh probably some kind of
fruit vegetable or whatever was in there, ecali and do
you know that it was ec I do know it
(24:19):
was there, because you've got to talk the health authorities.
They have to connect the dots for you, and so
it's not that easy. But you know, we just had
recently that we just had that parasite which thousands of
people were affected by and had severe, severe diarrhea and
some of them ended up in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
So yeah, it's so fun.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
By the way, don't next time, don't order a pizza
that literally is described having it causing diarrhea right in
the name of the pizza. But yeah, it's it's I
think there may be something there, depending on the severity.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Now, as depending on the severity.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Okay, well that's even better because they're going to be
able to at least discern if they're very good.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
The health authorities are very good at.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Finding out where a e coli uh started, where the
e coli started, I mean to specific farms.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
They're very good at that.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
And then when you find that out and based on
how sick you are, uh, there may very well be
a personal injury there.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, you stay away. That's why I don't need the law. Yeah,
going to handle on the law dot com and talk
to one of the lawyers. That's why I don't eat salads. Uh,
that's why I don't need anything as healthy. I'll tell
you what you don't have a problem with in terms
of salads as burritos from Costco is where I live now.
Talking about going to handle on the law dot com,
(25:48):

Saturday morning and the number to call eight hundred five

five two zero one five three four and welcome back.
Handle on the Law Marginal Legal Advice Eric, Hello, Eric,
welcome aboard.
Speaker 9 (26:47):
Hello, Yes, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 12 (26:51):
I was.
Speaker 10 (26:55):
Recipient.
Speaker 12 (26:55):
I received a one of those traffic speeding violations from
all of those photo cameras And uh, how well where
am I legally on that?
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Okay, Yeah, I mean there are a couple of things
you can do. First of all, you're probably gonna be
hew liable. Everybody is, and if you look anything like
the person driving the car, they're going to tag you.
I mean, you can say it wasn't me, but the
judges don't care, So that's one thing. The other thing,
if it clearly wasn't you and you say this wasn't me,
(27:31):
then they can't go forward. I mean, they can't tag
you for that, even though sometimes they do, which is
why I have a rule whenever you drive, you know
those groucho masks, the glasses with a mustache that you
can buy, always always drive with.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
One of those. Then then it really works for you.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
I find those very very efficient way to drive to
preclude exactly these red light deck cameras. They drive you
campletely crazy. Karen, Hello, Karen, Welcome.
Speaker 13 (28:04):
Hi Bill. I have a medical malpractice question. In July
of last year. By the way, I have the same
insurance you do. I had my gallbladder removed. Six weeks later,
I had a gallbladder attack with no gallbladder. Apparently they
left in some gallstones. Eventually, they gave me a procedure
(28:26):
that was supposed to relieve this, and the procedure caused
me to go into the hospital with acute pancreatitis and
consequently blood poisoning, and I had to go back into
the and I was in the hospital for six days.
Then I had eight weeks later, I had it removed,
and so far, so good. Is that medical malpractice or.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
Is that yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Yeah, it sure sounds that way to me. A couple questions,
did you die.
Speaker 13 (28:55):
Let me get back to you on that.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah, it sounds like it's It sounds like medical malpractice.
And what you're going to do is, unfortunately it's going
to be an arbitrator who's they make that decision.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
And first of.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
All, you have to go and make a claim, and
then they're going to deny, of course, and then you
have to go through their process because you've agreed to it,
and in the end you go to arbitration. For the
most part, you don't go to court unless it's pretty serious.
But it sounds like you do have a case. Now
(29:30):
go ahead.
Speaker 13 (29:31):
I have one more question. If I assue them, I
still want to be a customer.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
I don't think they throw you out. I don't think
they throw you out for that. I don't because they
get sued by a lot of people. I don't know
the policy, but I don't think they throw you out.
That's been my experience. Also, keep in mind that whenever
you're suing a medical facility, they fight like crazy.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
It is not a rollover.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
This is why attorneys under these cases, with these cases,
they want a fairly big case because they know they're
going to be fighting a lot and it's not going
to be cheap because they have to bring experts in
medical experts, notes, medical notes, operating notes have to really
be looked at carefully. And so again it depends on
(30:15):
how banged up you are, and you sound like you
suffered pretty much. So yeah, you could probably need a
medical malpractice attorney. That's my guess.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Karen, Hi, Karen.
Speaker 14 (30:25):
Good morning, Thank you for taking my call. Sure, I'm
trying to find out two things. One do I have
a case? And two? Can I is it worth the
lawyer fees to pursue it? And the case is my
parents passed away a few months ago, and we knew
there was an outstanding debt and we finally discovered through
social media where the promises were made to repay it.
And so I want to know if I should if
(30:48):
I should get a lawyer and try to get that money.
It's okay to twenty thousand dollars?
Speaker 9 (30:52):
How much?
Speaker 14 (30:53):
Sixteen to twenty thousand?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Yeah, I mean I wish it were a lot less
than that, and I wish we're or a lot.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
More than that.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
You've got what I call a wobbler sort of yes,
sort of No, it's was there a will involved a trust.
Speaker 14 (31:12):
There was a will, not a trust.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay, so you have so you have an Okay, you
have an executor of the will.
Speaker 14 (31:18):
Correct it was me, But I'm no longer that because
it's closed out.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah okay, how long has it been a couple months?
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
A couple of months is good?
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Just fact that it's been closed out, that's that's not
a problem. You I have the ability to come back.
You're the executor, just because I think you can reopen
and collect the debt and you now can go after
the debtor on behalf of your dead relative, and then
the issue is back.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 14 (31:47):
I was going to say, but is social media commentary enough?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:52):
It probably is a social media commentary enough to find
the person. Yes, I mean there still has to be
an asset search. I mean I can I can say
I make million dollars a year and that goes on
social media, and oh, oh bill means million dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah, I wish.
Speaker 14 (32:06):
Oh yeah, the financial parts, not the part that's on
social media. The part that's on social media was the
promise to repay.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
That's even better. Okay.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
And this question of just finding that person, is that enough?
Is there any other evidence is there a note of
any kind? Is there any kind of proof that that
debt existed other than the promise to pay?
Speaker 14 (32:31):
He refinanced the house at the same time, and everybody
told everybody about it. It's a relative type of person.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Yeah, you know, it's it's certainly worth talking to a lawyer,
any civil attorney, because there's a breach of contract. And
that's a little that's a little complicated because you have
to hunt them down.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Is that enough?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
There was a verbal issue. Verbal contracts are enforceable. But yeah,
that's not an easy one. It really Isn't tell you
what is easy, and that is finding information about you.
You talk about social media, how about this, there's no
privacy online. You can find out virtually anything about anybody
(33:12):
because everything is available.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
About you online.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Your home address, where you work, or you bank, what
you buy, where you buy it, court records, DMV information,
your credit score. I mean, that goes on forever. It's
all out there and it is not hard to get.
And because your information is out there, hundreds of data
brokers collect that information and then sell it to anybody
(33:35):
who wants to buy it. And now the bad guys
can pick it up. Even the bad guys can buy this,
and so you're vulnerable. And this is where Incognit comes
into plays a company that fights back for you. They
contact hundreds of these data brokers and legally demand your
information be deleted, which they have to do. That's what
Incogni does. And before every show, I log to I
(33:57):
log onto my Incognity account and there are hundreds of
removal requests completed. Hundreds more are in progress and scheduled.
That's in cognity. I n c o g n I

Speaker 1 (34:26):
You've been listening to the Bill Handle show. Catch my
show Monday through Friday, six am to nine am, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
You're listening to k I AM six forty the Bill
Handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio f k I
six forty Bill Handled Here a Saturday morning. The first
three hours as we start the show, and always first
(00:21):
hour top of the hour, lines are completely empty, and
you can call at eight hundred five two zero one
five three four. By the way, I think the lines
are jammed up. No, I'm sorry, they're not connected.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Mario. I've got the red circle with the line going
through it. There we go. Excellent.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Mario's our new guy. So we're just getting to know
each other. Mario is not particularly attractive, but you know,
reasonably smart on the IQ, probably around seventy five eighty.
All right, eight hundred five two zero one five three four, Mario,
welcome a boar. You gotta get a lifetime of this.
You know that, don't you?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
So I've been sold. Good morning everybody.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Yes, Okay, Before before we get to the show, I
want to just do a quick mention about something that
happens once a year and no place else in the
world has this, And in southern California is a pageant
of the Masters, and it's real people transforming themselves into
works of art, and it's nothing like you have ever seen.
(01:30):
As I said, only in southern California. Only the world
doesn't have this. And so there's a full orchestra and
it just goes on and on until September fourth. I'm
ticket start at forty two dollars, so it's relatively inexpensive.
Just just google pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach,
(01:50):
it'll tell you all about it. And you know, I
go every year, all right, the phone number eight hundred
and five two zero one five three four eighth five
to zero one five three four that's the number to call,
and of course we're gonna be together for three lovely hours.
And phone calls go pretty quickly because as you know,
(02:10):
patients is my middle name, and I go through these
calls very quickly. I hang up on people, which I
really enjoy telling them that they have absolutely no case,
which is particularly enjoyable.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
And we always start with a story.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
This is handle on the law. Marginal legal advice. Now,
one of the things that are a complete pain in
the rear end is how we do time. And twice
a year we go from standard time to daylight savings
time back to standard.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Time, and it really screws people up.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
So a new bill introduced in Congress looks like it
could drastically change how we observe the way we change
our clocks. Now, this is a weird one because it's
going to move us to standard time as the baseline.
So we're going to run on standard time according to
this bill forever. However, there's been a move and this
(03:07):
for years, to make daylight saving time permanent.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
So what's going on?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
And so for the last few years there have been
several attempts to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, and now
the Sunshine Protection Act passed through the Senate is the
other way. And it's been going back and forth mainly
daylight saving time for years. So the House could vote
on that move that would end the twice yearly change
(03:37):
the clocks. And there's been that back and forth relationship
with daylight saving time. Each attempt to move it into
daylight saving times has failed, and the House, as I said,
takes a different approach completely. The bill is Sunshine for
Our Kids Act of twenty twenty six, introduced by Mary
(04:00):
And Democrat from Pennsylvania and Republican Pat Harrington from North Carolina,
Permanent standard time wooh. Now, health experts agree that standard
time is better for our health, and making the efforts
to daylight saving times is more political than it is
health wise. And then we start breaking it down because
(04:21):
nearly twenty states have passed legislation to observe daylight savings
time year round. By the way, it's daylight saving, not saving.
So I always get it wrong. And so the bill,
the Sunshine Act for Kid for Our Kids, would allow
states to make that daylight saving time permanent if they
choose to, but the national policy will be standard time,
(04:45):
allowing the states to go Nope, we don't want to
do that, which of course means is going to be
screwed up all over the place. And maybe your state
is going to go to one or the other because
the state's going to be able to choose.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Right now, states are only permitted to observe standard time
year round.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So that is the law.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
And now it's a little complicated. Two dozen states have
considered bills this year that would make the standard time permanent.
All of them have stalled out, and they're you know,
I don't care. I like daylight saving time. It doesn't
matter to me. I wake up at the crack of
the middle of the night anyway, So that's I just
(05:29):
find that interesting or not, depending on what time you
wake up. Okay, let's go. Let's take some phone calls.
What do you think, Melanie interesting one?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Hello, Melanie, good morning.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I have a bundle with direct TV, my internet and
my landline phone. The charge is two hundred and fifty
four dollars. I get an email that says you're going
your credit card will be charged on this date. The
next email says, my charge was paid by my Discover card.
(06:08):
I don't have a Discover card. Somebody is paying my bill.
What is my responsibility here?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Okay, yeah, your legal responsibility is to pay your bill. Now,
let's get practical. Someone else is paying your bill.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And was it an email or was it stale mail
that you got?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Email?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Okay, we just didn't get it me.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
They delivered it, but you deleted it by accident, so
you have no idea what happened. Now, it's a service
they're providing for you, so they can retro actively go
back and credit or credit the person paying for it
right now, and you are going to be stuck with
the bill because you're using the service. Also, I think
(06:52):
the user of your card in your name is could
theoretically sue you?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
What I would do? And here, by the way, this
is practical.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Well, may I tell you? I called AT and T
and the rep said, well, what do you want us
to do? Put the money back on the Discover car.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Oh that's very good, that's very good news. Leave it alone.
Just take the money and put in the bank.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I'm saving the money.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Just good. That's exactly what you do.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Just save the money and it may fall through the
cracks and you are very lucky because you get a
freebie for a while. Now legally responsible, yeah, probably, but
I would leave it alone. See, this is the kind
of advice I give you. The law is one thing,
and I'm telling you exactly the opposite, which is why
this is marginal legal advice.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
All right, Marga Marcia, what's up.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Yes, I'm having in some bad issues with an accident
that I had March twenty first. I'm on my second
attorneys and they're just all giving me the run around.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Okay, well yeah, well let's talk how badly.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Basically, I was trapped in my car and they totaled
my car.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Okay, that's that's not you being injured that's your car
being injured and your jury if you have what.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
I was injured. So my injury was beg your pardon.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
How were you injured?
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Okay? I could not move my legs. They were stop
underneath the steering.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Okay, so it's trapped in the car.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Okay, I understand that. I mean, that's one thing, and
there there's some liability there. Now, you couldn't move your
legs any permanent injustry paralyzed, lost your legs, Your legs
went backwards.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
What happened as a result of the accident, Okay.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
What happened was the center of my spine. It shattered.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Okay, you can stop. Oh, stop right there, stop right there.
Uh you've got a case? Oh do you have a case?
I do not understand why two lawyers are giving you
the run around? What are they telling you about case?
Why are you what are they saying?
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Basically, they're stalling the first one, Jacobe and Myers.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Oh no, don't mention names. Don't mention names. I don't
want to hear it.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Okay you I had to do all the leg work
with the first one.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Okay, all right, the.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Second ones are jerking me around.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Okay, stop my cars.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
All right, stop it stop stop right there. I think
you have the wrong lawyers. I go to handle on
the law dot com.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Go to my website.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
You'll talk to a lawyer because you should not do
any work on it. The lawyer, especially considering your your
swine was shattered. I mean that that's serious stuff. Go
to the website and the lawyer should handle everything, not
asking you much. Just you can just say here's what happened,
(09:47):
and they do the work.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
All right. I think you have the wrong lawyers.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
So you now, how do I go about it again?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You should go to handle on the law dot com.
Speaker 3 (09:56):

talk about your hearing loss because that looks like damage
to handle on the law dot com.

You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
am six forty eight.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Eight hundred five two zero one five three four eight
hundred five two zero one five three four and we
have lines that are open because it's our number one
and that's normally what happens. Welcome back. More Handle on
the Law, Marginal Legal Advice. Jason Europe. Hello Jason, Jason, Yeah, Jason, Yes,
(11:14):
I'm assuming that's you.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
I thought I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm sorry, I thought you
said Nathan. Yeah, okay, yeah, Thank you Bill, Thank you Bill.
We received by mail two administrative citations by mail back
to back. One was filled out at a fifty five
and the other one at a fifty six, and these
are for using fireworks in the city where you're not
(11:35):
allowed to use any kind of firewors. My grandkids went
ahead of used those same safe fireworks. However, in the
city they don't allow it okay. But what's surprising is
that these two citations were made out like a minute
after each other, and they're for one thousand dollars. Anything
I might be able to do with the city.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Oh yeah, I mean you're not going to hit with
both of them. It's for the same incident. However, Uh,
if you're gonna say it wasn't me, uh, that's a defense.
And uh, you know you're going to show up for
administrative hearing of some kind. Uh the uh, the administrative
judge is gonna go, uh, Jason, you know you only
have one hand. Uh, what's what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Now? What did your hand blow off?
Speaker 8 (12:21):
That's unfortunate, Drone.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Ah, too bad, because I love the stories where people
like those safe and sane fireworks, they're really unsafe and
insane and hands go blowing off, and stories of digits.
Yeah people, you know, people looking and they start a plotting.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Hey, you get them in my hand. There's a lot
of stuff on that one. So what you do? What
do they want you to do?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
And the administrative the the administrative citation.
Speaker 8 (12:47):
We'll pay one thousand dollars for each site.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Okay, Well that's easy, that's easy, all right.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
So you contact if you got it by email, I'm
assuming Uh, you simply write to the letter on the
email and say you've gotten for the same offense. Uh,
and that'll get straightened out. It fell through the cracks, okay, Okay, yeah,
and UH go ahead.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Fighting it. Okay, was it you?
Speaker 8 (13:13):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
So now you say it wasn't me because I really
lost my hand in another place and it's in a
jar of formaldehyde. No, if it wasn't you, or they
can't prove it was you, that's your defense. And you
say it wasn't me, that works because they have to
(13:35):
establish that it was you.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
So yeah, you've got a defense, especially if it's not
clear that it was you. You could say, yeah, somewhere
else they they took drone of that matter.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Where where was your backyard or was it out in
the street your backyard?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
That's that's tougher because usually when I was a kid,
and I had safe, unsafe and insane fireworks because I
lived the County of la and illegal and we just
go across to the county next door, Fintura County and
buy the fireworks and bring them back. It was always
in the middle of the street, So you have fireworks
showing off in your backyard.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah, it's going to be tough saying it's not.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
You contact them and hopefully you only get hit for
a thousand dollars or even try to reduce it.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I have no money. That's always a good defense.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
So I have no money, my dog is dying, my
mother has cancer, my family just got run over by cars.
I mean, there's a lot of stuff you can do
to reduce the fine. If you can, this administrative judge
can do that. Hey, Bob, welcome, Hi Bill.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
I have a medical question for you.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
So this last January, I had prostate surgery called hull up,
where they removed the tissue. So prior to the appointment,
the doctor said, you know you're going to have three
issues to our temporary which is bleeding and leaking. He
said it's should clear up in a few months. The
third one is permanent, which is ore to great ejaculation.
(15:01):
So I'm six months out. I've been bleeding, peing out
blood and lots of blood clots and tissue. So I
went to another urologist to do a cystoscopy where they
look inside the bladder and the urethra and the prostate,
and he said, it's a real mess in there. He said,
you've got two strictures, you've got ongoing bleeding. You're going
to need another surgery, like a.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Completely okay, all right, it sounds go ahead.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah, yeah, it's probably is. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
You go to another urologist, and you get yourself a
lawyer who practices medical malpractice. And what the lawyer does
is immediately look at what the Eurologists number two medical
records and sends you to Eurologists number three, who says, yeah,
(15:53):
there's a case here.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
It has to be certified.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
It sounds it, I mean, the bleeding and the clots
doesn't sound it also aculating backwards.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
That's kind of weird. You know.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I can't even imagine that one because it must feel
very weird.
Speaker 9 (16:09):
Just okay with that. But I'm more concerned about the
bleeding and leaking. I do have leukemia, so that could
also be Oh yeah, that's a problem recovery.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Also, I know, hunting for adult diapers at the cheapest
place you can go Costco is very strongly the way.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Costco any more money on diapers than growth.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, no, I know, no, no, I had I had
a back surgery and I couldn't move and I had
to pee at home, But then again I didn't I
was too embarrassed to buy diapers, so I just pete
on the floor. Okay, I want you to go to

eight hundred five to two zero one five three four.
Welcome back. Handle on the law. Marginal Legal Advice Lindsey.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Hello Lindsay, Hey Bill.
Speaker 10 (18:53):
My daughter and her boyfriend were at the Ralph grocery
store Rolling Hills Plaza.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Oh great, why don't you mention the store exactly where
it is when they sue both of us?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Okay, good for you.
Speaker 10 (19:06):
Well I'm hoping to see them. Anyways. She was standing
in line waiting to check out and a woman came
from behind unprovoked. My went didn't see her in the
store or nothing, and hit her on the head with
a heavy object, which we still haven't yet to identify
because Ralph can release us the video footage. So my
daughter was obviously completely freaked out. Her boyfriend is an
ex police officer, restrained the woman. Torrent's police came, arrested her,
(19:30):
printed her, and unbeknownst to us, released her, and they
refuse to give my daughter the name of the woman.
They refused to let us see the surveillance tape and
went back to Ralphs. My daughter spoke to the manager.
She said, she goes it was brutal. It's like, you
need to go after this somehow, right, you figure it out.
So my question is this is not really a personal
(19:53):
injury thing. It gives an assault.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
It's a personal injury thing.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
It is absolutely a personal ang because there's two issues here,
the criminal aspect of this, which you can't do anything about,
and the civil aspect of it, which you can do
plenty about.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
So so your daughter was injured, right, But I mean she.
Speaker 10 (20:15):
Went she went home, that she went home that night.
We live maybe half a mile from there, and they
were walking home and the boyfriend who was with the
assailant saw them and said, I'm gonna stab.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Both of you.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
He lives like three blocks from my apartment, all right,
And but the police have been like they were like, hey,
this is yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah, I know. You're all pissed off of the police.
As you should be. Police.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
It's you should have said the guy brandished the gun
and just shot someone. Then the police come out. They
have so many phone calls that they they decide what
to go after and what they don't. It's not your call, unfortunately,
it's the police's call as to what they do, arresting them,
not arresting them, warning them.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Now, can you to the police.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Maybe for the second go round the brandishing of the weapon,
And but that's emotional distress, that's fear. The lawsuit you
have is against the guy who assaulted your daughter. Unfortunately,
that's it. You can sue the store, but they're gonna say,
(21:23):
what did we do wrong? We had a crazy person
in here? You know, is it our responsibility to what
make sure that no crazy person walks in our store
and make sure that nobody unbalanced medically or unbalanced in
terms of mental issues.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
We don't have.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Doctors here, we don't have psychologists here that screen everybody.
So unfortunately, the only defendant is going to be the
person that hit that assaulted your daughter.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I mean yeah, I'd say, well, yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
What kind of money? What kind of money do you
think that they have? So your daughter unfortunately, wrong place,
wrong time. I would have felt much better if an
Amazon driver delivering a package to the store decided to
smash her in the face.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
That would have been better. But that's it.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
You can and I think the lesson here is you
really can't force the police to do anything. However, you're
saying that this person should have not been released based
on what has happened, and therefore, and you have to
connect the dots, and you know I would, I would
talk to a personal injury lawyer. How badly was your
(22:30):
daughter banged up?
Speaker 10 (22:31):
No, she's fine, she's just really she's a public figure that.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
You have to go into that, okay.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
Yeah, and so she's freaked out about of course she was.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
You get freaked out. Yeah, no, I understand you get
freaked out. But you know, people get freaked out all
the time. It's a good chance if I met you
on the street, I'd be freaked out just by meeting you.
So there isn't a whole lot there. But it's still
worth talking to a p I lawyer. Why because the
argument was and filing a claim against the cops. But man,
and that becomes so so difficult. Brad Hi, brad Hi,
(23:05):
How you doing, Bill, Yes, sir.
Speaker 11 (23:07):
I recently, I've been disabled for the past six weeks
and I've been eating salad from a local pizza restaurant
and it's they've got some great salads.
Speaker 9 (23:19):
While at Vintager at barbecue chicken.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
Anyway, that's all I've been eating for five weeks and.
Speaker 9 (23:25):
I came up with the coal I.
Speaker 12 (23:27):
I was diagnosed with the coal.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I and I got really six Yeah.
Speaker 11 (23:33):
And I'm just you know, taking antibiotics right now, trying
to recover from it, and I'm just wondering if I
have a case.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Yeah, you might, depending on how sick you really got
and if you were hospitalized.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I mean, the restaurant is I had a heart attack.
While a heart.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Attack is going to be difficult to connect the dots
there because people who Yeah, that's not going to be easy.
Speaker 9 (23:59):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
The the part that is going to be fairly easy
as you go against the restaurant as well as the
people who distribute the whatever. Uh probably some kind of
fruit vegetable or whatever was in there, ecali and do
you know that it was ec I do know it
(24:19):
was there, because you've got to talk the health authorities.
They have to connect the dots for you, and so
it's not that easy. But you know, we just had
recently that we just had that parasite which thousands of
people were affected by and had severe, severe diarrhea and
some of them ended up in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
So yeah, it's so fun.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
By the way, don't next time, don't order a pizza
that literally is described having it causing diarrhea right in
the name of the pizza. But yeah, it's it's I
think there may be something there, depending on the severity.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Now, as depending on the severity.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Okay, well that's even better because they're going to be
able to at least discern if they're very good.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
The health authorities are very good at.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Finding out where a e coli uh started, where the
e coli started, I mean to specific farms.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
They're very good at that.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
And then when you find that out and based on
how sick you are, uh, there may very well be
a personal injury there.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, you stay away. That's why I don't need the law. Yeah,
going to handle on the law dot com and talk
to one of the lawyers. That's why I don't eat salads. Uh,
that's why I don't need anything as healthy. I'll tell
you what you don't have a problem with in terms
of salads as burritos from Costco is where I live now.
Talking about going to handle on the law dot com,
(25:48):
as he just said, Uh, it's all about you being
injured a car accident, slip and fall, go to a
big box store and the box fell on you.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
So if you've been injured and it's not your fault
and you're pretty banged up, let me suggest going to
the website handle on the law dot com. We've been
hearing about this all hour with people that have all
kinds of issues. So call eight eight eight a day

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Saturday morning and the number to call eight hundred five
two zero one five one five three four eight hundred
five two zero one five three four and welcome back.
Handle on the Law Marginal Legal Advice Eric, Hello, Eric,
welcome aboard.
Speaker 9 (26:47):
Hello, Yes, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 12 (26:51):
I was.
Speaker 10 (26:55):
Recipient.
Speaker 12 (26:55):
I received a one of those traffic speeding violations from
all of those photo cameras And uh, how well where
am I legally on that?
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Okay, Yeah, I mean there are a couple of things
you can do. First of all, you're probably gonna be
hew liable. Everybody is, and if you look anything like
the person driving the car, they're going to tag you.
I mean, you can say it wasn't me, but the
judges don't care, So that's one thing. The other thing,
if it clearly wasn't you and you say this wasn't me,
(27:31):
then they can't go forward. I mean, they can't tag
you for that, even though sometimes they do, which is
why I have a rule whenever you drive, you know
those groucho masks, the glasses with a mustache that you
can buy, always always drive with.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
One of those. Then then it really works for you.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
I find those very very efficient way to drive to
preclude exactly these red light deck cameras. They drive you
campletely crazy. Karen, Hello, Karen, Welcome.
Speaker 13 (28:04):
Hi Bill. I have a medical malpractice question. In July
of last year. By the way, I have the same
insurance you do. I had my gallbladder removed. Six weeks later,
I had a gallbladder attack with no gallbladder. Apparently they
left in some gallstones. Eventually, they gave me a procedure
(28:26):
that was supposed to relieve this, and the procedure caused
me to go into the hospital with acute pancreatitis and
consequently blood poisoning, and I had to go back into
the and I was in the hospital for six days.
Then I had eight weeks later, I had it removed,
and so far, so good. Is that medical malpractice or.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
Is that yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Yeah, it sure sounds that way to me. A couple questions,
did you die.
Speaker 13 (28:55):
Let me get back to you on that.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah, it sounds like it's It sounds like medical malpractice.
And what you're going to do is, unfortunately it's going
to be an arbitrator who's they make that decision.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
And first of.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
All, you have to go and make a claim, and
then they're going to deny, of course, and then you
have to go through their process because you've agreed to it,
and in the end you go to arbitration. For the
most part, you don't go to court unless it's pretty serious.
But it sounds like you do have a case. Now
(29:30):
go ahead.
Speaker 13 (29:31):
I have one more question. If I assue them, I
still want to be a customer.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
I don't think they throw you out. I don't think
they throw you out for that. I don't because they
get sued by a lot of people. I don't know
the policy, but I don't think they throw you out.
That's been my experience. Also, keep in mind that whenever
you're suing a medical facility, they fight like crazy.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
It is not a rollover.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
This is why attorneys under these cases, with these cases,
they want a fairly big case because they know they're
going to be fighting a lot and it's not going
to be cheap because they have to bring experts in
medical experts, notes, medical notes, operating notes have to really
be looked at carefully. And so again it depends on
(30:15):
how banged up you are, and you sound like you
suffered pretty much. So yeah, you could probably need a
medical malpractice attorney. That's my guess.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Karen, Hi, Karen.
Speaker 14 (30:25):
Good morning, Thank you for taking my call. Sure, I'm
trying to find out two things. One do I have
a case? And two? Can I is it worth the
lawyer fees to pursue it? And the case is my
parents passed away a few months ago, and we knew
there was an outstanding debt and we finally discovered through
social media where the promises were made to repay it.
And so I want to know if I should if
(30:48):
I should get a lawyer and try to get that money.
It's okay to twenty thousand dollars?
Speaker 9 (30:52):
How much?
Speaker 14 (30:53):
Sixteen to twenty thousand?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Yeah, I mean I wish it were a lot less
than that, and I wish we're or a lot.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
More than that.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
You've got what I call a wobbler sort of yes,
sort of No, it's was there a will involved a trust.
Speaker 14 (31:12):
There was a will, not a trust.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay, so you have so you have an Okay, you
have an executor of the will.
Speaker 14 (31:18):
Correct it was me, But I'm no longer that because
it's closed out.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah okay, how long has it been a couple months?
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
A couple of months is good?
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Just fact that it's been closed out, that's that's not
a problem. You I have the ability to come back.
You're the executor, just because I think you can reopen
and collect the debt and you now can go after
the debtor on behalf of your dead relative, and then
the issue is back.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 14 (31:47):
I was going to say, but is social media commentary enough?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:52):
It probably is a social media commentary enough to find
the person. Yes, I mean there still has to be
an asset search. I mean I can I can say
I make million dollars a year and that goes on
social media, and oh, oh bill means million dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah, I wish.
Speaker 14 (32:06):
Oh yeah, the financial parts, not the part that's on
social media. The part that's on social media was the
promise to repay.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
That's even better. Okay.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
And this question of just finding that person, is that enough?
Is there any other evidence is there a note of
any kind? Is there any kind of proof that that
debt existed other than the promise to pay?
Speaker 14 (32:31):
He refinanced the house at the same time, and everybody
told everybody about it. It's a relative type of person.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Yeah, you know, it's it's certainly worth talking to a lawyer,
any civil attorney, because there's a breach of contract. And
that's a little that's a little complicated because you have
to hunt them down.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Is that enough?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
There was a verbal issue. Verbal contracts are enforceable. But yeah,
that's not an easy one. It really Isn't tell you
what is easy, and that is finding information about you.
You talk about social media, how about this, there's no
privacy online. You can find out virtually anything about anybody
(33:12):
because everything is available.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
About you online.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Your home address, where you work, or you bank, what
you buy, where you buy it, court records, DMV information,
your credit score. I mean, that goes on forever. It's
all out there and it is not hard to get.
And because your information is out there, hundreds of data
brokers collect that information and then sell it to anybody
(33:35):
who wants to buy it. And now the bad guys
can pick it up. Even the bad guys can buy this,
and so you're vulnerable. And this is where Incognit comes
into plays a company that fights back for you. They
contact hundreds of these data brokers and legally demand your
information be deleted, which they have to do. That's what
Incogni does. And before every show, I log to I
