Bubba Sued With A Declaratory Judgment Action By His Own Insurance Company
Bubba had “another one of them envelopes” sitting down at the Post Office. The lady wouldn’t let him peek at this one either. He figured it was the “declaration of war suit.” After the EUO, the other lawyer made the comment this might end up as a “dec action.” I had explained to…
The Inventory Contents List Was Reviewed During The EUO
During the EUO, opposing counsel marked Bubba‘s personal inventory list as an exhibit and said he wanted to go over some of the items destroyed in the fire. EUOs are a good tool for finding out information and evaluating the credibility of the insured. On its face, Bubba’s contents list probably caused an “inquiring…
Bubba Gives Sworn Testimony In The EUO
An EUO is a lot like a deposition or testifying in court. There is a court reporter present who swears in the insured and takes down the sworn testimony. The insured is asked a lot of questions about their background and the reported claim. A lawyer wouldn’t be worth much if he didn’t at least…
Bubba’s ALE, Additional Living Expense
Bubba came by for an appointment to discuss his fire loss claim. It was one of those meetings that wasn’t on my calendar; he just stopped by “to see how things were goin'”.
When I told Bubba we needed to submit his receipts for ALE, he quietly spelled “a-l-e” to himself and suddenly asked, “you…
Bubba’s Insurance Company Demands An EUO
Bubba‘s insurance company sent him a letter by certified mail. Bubba didn’t sign for it “’cause he wasn’t about to let some @#$%^ serve him any legal papers!” He tried to talk the lady at the post office into letting him see inside the envelope without signing for it. She really wanted to help…
Bubba Still Hasn’t Been Paid For His Mobile Home
Bubba still hasn’t been paid for his mobile home that burned when the squirrel’s tail caught fire and went running through the house. The squirrel seems to be doing okay even though he doesn’t have a tail anymore. Bubba saw him the other day from his tent he pitched underneath the tree to live in…
Bubba’s Luck: The Fire Burned Down His House
Bubba came to the office last week without an appointment. He was hotter than a firecracker on the 4th of July. He was ranting about wanting to sue his insurance company for “bad fate” and that I could have all of the money from the lawsuit. He said I could put it all in that…
A Lot Of Bull!
The lack of income due to Bubba‘s injuries was devastating. He couldn’t make his mortgage payment and had to move from his home in Wewoka, Oklahoma. When the big day came, Bubba pulled into the yard in his Ford 4×4, and rigged up a homemade hitch to “hook up” his mobile home so that…
Bubba On Insurance: Lesson 1
The truth is Cousin Bubba doesn’t really know a lot about insurance or even law for that matter. He is well versed in the 2nd Amendment and will “tell you right flat out the right to bear arms has nothing to do with the First Lady’s sleeveless dresses.” Bubba doesn’t need to tell you he’s…
