Session 3 - February 15, 2022

Charlotte, North Carolina. Ein Anwalt kaufte eine Schachtel mit sehr seltenen und teuren Zigarren und versicherte sie dann unter anderem gegen Feuer.   Innerhalb eines Monats reichte der Anwalt eine Klage gegen die Versicherungsgesellschaft ein, nachdem er seinen gesamten Vorrat an diesen großen Zigarren geraucht hatte und noch nicht einmal seine erste Prämienzahlung für die Police geleistet hatte.  In seiner Behauptung erklärte der Anwalt, die Zigarren seien "bei einer Reihe kleiner Brände" verloren gegangen.  Die Versicherungsgesellschaft weigerte sich zu zahlen, unter Berufung auf den offensichtlichen Grund, dass der Mann die Zigarren auf normale Weise konsumiert hatte. Der Anwalt klagt  und gewann

Als der Richter das Urteil verkündete, stimmte er der Versicherungsgesellschaft zu, dass der Anspruch leichtfertig war. Der Richter erklärte jedoch, dass der Anwalt eine Versicherungpolice des Unternehmens abgeschlossen habe, die garantiert habe, dass die Zigarren versicherbar seien, und dass er sie gegen Feuer versichern würde, ohne zu definieren, was als inakzeptables Feuer angesehen wird "und zur Zahlung verpflichtet sei der Anspruch.    Anstatt ein langwieriges und kostspieliges Berufungsverfahren zu ertragen, akzeptierte die Versicherungsgesellschaft das Urteil und zahlte dem Anwalt 15.000 US-Dollar für den Verlust der bei den "Bränden" verlorenen Zigarren.

​JETZT FÜR DEN BESTEN TEIL…  Nachdem der Anwalt den Scheck eingelöst hatte, ließ ihn die Versicherungsgesellschaft in 24 Fällen von Brandstiftung verhaften !!!  Der Anwalt wurde wegen vorsätzlichen Verbrennens seines versicherten Eigentums verurteilt und zu 24 Monaten Gefängnis und einer Geldstrafe von 24.000 US-Dollar verurteilt.
​
Dies ist eine wahre Geschichte und war der Gewinner des ersten Platzes beim jüngsten Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.        NUR IN AMERIKA!

Charlotte, North Carolina. A lawyer bought a box of very rare and expensive cigars and then insured them against fire, among other things. The lawyer filed a lawsuit against the insurance company within a month after smoking his entire supply of these large cigars and not even making his first premium payment for the policy. In his allegation, the lawyer stated that 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 way. The lawyer sued and won.

When the judge announced the verdict, he agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. However, the judge stated that the lawyer had taken out an insurance policy from the company that guaranteed that the cigars were insurable and that he would insure them against fire without defining what was considered an unacceptable fire "and was required to pay Instead of enduring a lengthy and costly appeal, the insurance company accepted the verdict and paid the attorney $ 15,000 for losing the cigars lost in the "fires."

NOW FOR THE BEST PART… After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested in 24 cases of arson!!! The lawyer was convicted of deliberately burning his insured property and sentenced to 24 months in prison and a $ 24,000 fine.

This is a true story and was the winner of first place in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.
