Toyota recall
Feb 8th, 2010 by lawsuit

Toyota Recall, Say it aint so…

No really say were safe in our own cars, well if you listen to the talk of the town, you are likely to be disappointed.

I can tell you that if your experience was anything like my experience with toyota then you are in for a rough ride.

On a number of occasions, we visited our toyota dealership, for our regular maintenance, where they cheerfully charged us full price to change the oil and do other unknown things, usually for over 100 usd, the last one was 189 usd, but did they bother to let us know that we were driving a potential death trap?   That Ah, would be a big fat no…

Amazing really, they can charge us for taking care of our vehicle, in fact the maintenance is mandatory if you want to keep your extended warranty in force, but they cant tell us about a potential lethal problem?

Let me tell you that is scary folks…

This is certainly something close to a nightmare for Toyota, in the recent recall madness, where the dealers are pitted against the owners, and the finance companies are pitted against the dealers, and allegedly the manufacturer pitted against the lawyers. Make no mistake about it, there are a lot of problems with these cars, Real Valid Safety concerns, some say that the government in the form of the DOT and the FTC are having a conflicted interest in this issue however, after my own very real safety issue, (notice I did not say a concern) this was a real issue.

This really happened, and while I cannot say if this was due to accelerator pedal entrapment with regard to the floor mats, (a less and less likely event as time goes by) or if this was due to a linkage problem, (more likely from an engineering perspective, a very non toyota perspective) in fact we own one of these vehicles, which to date allegedly toyota is not willing to even admit that there is a problem nor are they willing to state how they plan on fixing the problem.

We know there is a problem with this toyota camry, because we have experienced it first hand, or foot so to speak.

In a Terrifying event where the vehicle stuck with the accelerator linkage wide open for a period of several seconds, which resulted in a near miss accident and a change of clothing, for the driver…

This is a serious problem and when you have a company that is not willing to do the right thing and either fix the problem or buy the car back then there are real problems ahead for this company.

When a company is willing to spend millions and millions of dollars in PR relations, double entendre intended, then it is time to call an attorney…

If you have had an accident involving a toyota in any of the mentioned toyota vehicles.

Then you may need to get a lawyer…

Here are some of the problems we have had with our 2009 toyota camry,

  1. Sticking wide open linkage and or entrapment, of the pedal mechanism.
  2. delayed sticking linkage, at less than 30 MPH
  3. delayed surge at idle during cruise control.
  4. surge at less than 10 MPH with brake applied.
  5. inertia during de-acceleration or sudden loss of power during cruise control

While most of these issues can be easily controlled, with some forethought, and some pre-planning but I can tell you from actual experience that this is easier to say than it is to do, as a professional driver with more than 30 years of safe driving experience, I can tell you that I nearly had an accident while this concern happened to me.

The problem is that toyota is allegedly not doing the right thing…

They are not even saying the linkage word and that is where the problem allegedly is…

Let me say that louder, LINKAGE>>>  PEOPLE<

Be very careful when driving these cars, be on the lookout for trouble, just because someone tells you that your car is not involved in the toyota recall does not mean there is no problem.

Believe me there is a problem, at least in my own very personal experience.

I would say that while I cannot offer you advice on this issue, please do seek professional advice if you feel you are driving an unsafe vehicle, you may need help in finding a lawyer, if so please see our resource pages for those types of attorneys.

As many of you have heard, this is a terrifying situation to find yourself, not only that but it can happen so quickly that you may not even realize that you are in a potentially life or death struggle with your own car…

Millions filing bankruptcy as white house twiddles thumbs
Jan 29th, 2010 by lawsuit

There are literally thousands and thousands of americans filing bankruptcy as our government appears to be doing nothing, sure the speeches are good but in the end actions speak so much louder than words and so far the only thing we see is a whole lot of nothing…

If you feel like you are nearing the end of your financial rope, see a qualified representative now…

Police out of control
Jan 26th, 2010 by lawsuit

Note this is not advise, it is only an opinion and as such may be subject to interoperation, always know that obeying the instructions of the law officer will help you…

If you have been a victim of police our of control, take action, find a lawyer, One thing you should always remember, if you are stopped, do so in a well lit area, as long as you can safely do so without causing a problem, note that trying to go more than a few hundred feet will probably cause you a problem.

Try to find other people around most of the time, attacks will not take place in front of a witness.

Yes, they have an impossible job, yes, it is tough, but they have to use common sense…

They have to be fair, or else they need to get out of the job…

Most of the time when something happens it is when you get them riled up, so co-operate, and get a lawyer later.

Tort reform the new face of the party…
Jan 25th, 2010 by lawsuit

Over this next judicial season, we are sure to see some history making case law coming forward for consideration both to the supreme court and in other litigation, tort reform is certainly part of that sensational history history in the making, even the most jaded of professionals cannot help but admit that tort reform is needed, however, the main issue is how to reform in a fair way?

In one way, large companies, can how weigh the law of averages against, doing the right thing, they can decide to let a failure continue knowing that they will not have to pay the price through litigation.

This is certainly a problem that should be considered even more so is the very real effect of frivolous law suits on this industry.

So punishment should be commensurate with the offense, as well as the ability of the offending party to provide a remedy…

Knowing there are two extremes here and finding the right balance between those two extremes will be the true test.

weight watchers vs jenny craig
Jan 22nd, 2010 by lawsuit

Let the mud slinging begin, wait, I thought this was the mud wrestling, thing, opps.

Wicked, sounds like fun anyway, apparently weight watchers is allegedly offended over claims that jenny craig is more effective, than the main rival, interestingly there are some interesting stats going on.

they talk about works like misleading, holiday pounds, legal battle, clinical trial, equals a civil trial.

patently deceptive, allegedly, hmmm, sounds thin…

but hey, go figure, personally and allegedly I have heard, that the food may taste like cardboard, and the portions are not anywhere near as large as they say it is, but then if it allegedly tasted good would it be good for you?

EPA overstepping its powers?
Jan 20th, 2010 by lawsuit

Have they even read the constitution.

Are they stupid?

Are they insane?

Are they Nuts?

Are we destined to be ruled over by the EPA?

Will the EPA Tell you that the constitution

no longer matters?

Will the EPA, take control over your bank accounts?

Will the EPA, tell you what to do and how to do it?

Will the EPA, tell you that you can no longer have a fire place?

The Answer is NO….. The EPA does not have this power, and that is that.

Has the EPA as some suggest over stepped it boundary of power, by intentionally misinterpreting, a supreme court ruling?

Many fear that the EPA may make a serious mistake by trying to become a dictator?

What, no way the EPA would try something as stupid as that right, well some people think the supreme court makes policy.

What Again no way…

Because the supreme court does not make changes to the constitution.

So, consider that, Mr. EPA because the constitution says that you do not have to power to enforce your rule over America.

Rumors abound about lawsuits that will be filled soon against the EPA should they attempt to take over the Government by enforcing a mistaken ruling by the Supreme court, because the constitution is still the rule of law and even the supreme court does not have the right to supersede the constitution.

As well were you to ask the opinion of the Supreme court you would find that they never intended the EPA to attempt to enforce the ruling they made in the way they have interpreted it, In fact some argue that even now the court would hear a brief on the matter and rule accordingly.

So all you constitutional lawyers and scholars out there, step up to the plate, because it is time to make a name for yourself.

Hearsay in the drew peterson case?
Jan 20th, 2010 by lawsuit

I seem to remember they used to have this years ago, those that were paid to bear false witness, Oh, yeagh, thats right, they did that back in 36 AD

Apparently, and I say this with a grain of salt, hearsay is now going to be allowed in a criminal case. Now this is just plain wrong, I do not care if this guy is guilty or not, you just cannot take hearsay evidence to trial, because it is just too rife for abuse. One thing is that the person that is testifying to the hearsay is emotionally involved in the case, in other words they have a motive to lie.

Hearsay could be termed as a qualified lie, because it cannot be proved to a degree of certainty.

Hearsay is information gathered by one person from another concerning some event or situation, an example would be,

Ted, told me that his sister was caught in a compromising situation, now there is no proof that this is true but the fact is that you cannot prove it, and that is a problem because you could say that this is alleged behavior, and that is a real problem.

If this is allowed, it will go to the supreme court and it will be over turned, the reason why is that you cannot convict a man of murder with no body, with no real evidence, and with only hearsay as evidence that something happened.

Now dont get me wrong here, this guy is an alleged slime, but we cannot allow this type of testimony to be proffered by the prosecution, simply because they either were so incompetent, as to not have worked the case correctly but are convinced that he in fact did do the offense he is charged with.

Thousands file bankruptcy as democrats spend more money
Jan 18th, 2010 by lawsuit

Are you at the end of your rope financially?

Are thinking about filing bankruptcy?

Do you feel like you have no choice?

Are you at your wits end? Are you sick and tired of the political madness effecting washington?

Where are all the constitutional lawyers?
Jan 17th, 2010 by lawsuit

Evil, liars, are they ignorant? Are they stupid?

ON a recent show the famous Rush Limbaugh,

was asked a question about why we did not have any litigation in all these constitutional issues that appear to be taking place with the current administration, he never answered the question in stead he just ignored it, I have to wonder why the vaunted verbalist, choose not to answer the question and why?

One thing for sure, when the ACLU attempts to file a lawsuit the WH appears to feel the need to immediately comply.

So one question, why is the GOP sitting on its collective Butts,)

You fight fire with fire, since congress is determined to trample on the constitution of these United states of america, then someone should be standing up for the constitution, like attorneys, for instance.

So what is going on are we no longer under the constitution?

Have we forgotten where we come from?

When a politician says anything to get elected, and then later lies about everything, that is a real problem.
