AR Husker.....you should love this one

You are going to love this one!!!!

 

 

A Charlotte, NC lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars,

then insured them against fire, among other things. Within a month, having

smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having

made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed claim

against the insurance company.

 

In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost in "a series of small

fires." The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason

that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.

 

The lawyer sued and WON! (Stay with me.)

 

In delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company that

the claim was frivolous. The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer

held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars

were insurable and also guaranteed that it! would insure them against fire,

without defining what is considered to be unacceptable and was obligated

to pay the claim. Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process,

the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer

for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the "fires."

 

NOW FOR THE BEST PART..

 

After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested

on 24 counts of ARSON!!! With his own insurance claim and testimony from

the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of

intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months

in jail and a $24,000 fine.

 

This is a true story and was the First Place winner in the recent Criminal

Lawyers Award Contest.

 

ONLY IN AMERICA!
