Speaker 1: Time for law and disorder.
Speaker 2: I demand a lawyer with attorney Jeff Kaufman on one

Speaker 3: We are Orlando's rock station. Jeff Kaufman has arrived, partner
Speaker 3: at Kaufman and Lynn Fine personal injury law firm here

Speaker 3: you straight up. Yeah, it sounds like you might want to,

Speaker 3: perhaps not.
Speaker 2: And remember he practices law in several states, so if
Speaker 2: you're listening on the free iHeartRadio app, you know he
Speaker 2: might be doing your stay. How did the Tennessee trial
Speaker 2: wrap up last week?
Speaker 1: It was solid? I mean it was a good trial.
Speaker 1: Took care of our people, did what we need to do.
Speaker 1: You know what's what's amazing is I forgot all this
Speaker 1: stand up is you know, normally it takes you about
Speaker 1: a minute or two to get into a trial or
Speaker 1: well then you're talking to Jerry, you know, it takes
Speaker 1: like a couples man boom right in what because of
Speaker 1: stand up. Oh yeah, for the stand up for the
Speaker 1: last year or two. You know now when on.
Speaker 3: Jeff is also a stand up comedian.
Speaker 1: I do some stand up. I'm not professionalist as the
Speaker 1: other guys.
Speaker 3: Don't you have an event coming up?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm actually headlining about fifty minutes Friday night at
Speaker 1: a place called The Corner, which is in downtown Orlando.
Speaker 1: It's one of the bokers clubs. So just go to
Speaker 1: ww dot Bonker's bo.
Speaker 2: N k e r z dot com Bunkers podcast with
Speaker 2: z and if you want to get in touch with
Speaker 2: Jeff directly, by the way, Pat, those his contacts are
Speaker 2: Jeff at when youneed us dot com, pound five four
Speaker 2: six on your cell or just call the number four
Speaker 2: zero seven five hundred Jeff, Jeff.
Speaker 3: A couple things that are in the news here I
Speaker 3: wanted to throw your way to see how you, as
Speaker 3: a personal injury litigator might handle this. This story went
Speaker 3: national last week involving Disney being sued over a food
Speaker 3: allergy death. Did you hear this story?
Speaker 1: The one that was in the old downtown Dessey which
Speaker 1: is now called.
Speaker 3: It was related from a dinner at Raglan Rode Irish
Speaker 3: pup yes, Disney Springs, Round Disney Springs, all these all
Speaker 3: these different places are rental.
Speaker 1: So Disney's get ensued, but it's actually a private company.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, anyway, what the story says is Disney goes
Speaker 3: you can't sue us because one of the bringers of
Speaker 3: the lawsuit subscribed to the Disney Plus streaming app and
Speaker 3: agreed in the terms of service that any kind of
Speaker 3: legal situations must be decided via arbitration. Yeah, how would
Speaker 3: you you're the lawyer. You have this client who has
Speaker 3: had the food allergy die. Their family wants to sue
Speaker 3: who they believe is responsible for this, and they're met
Speaker 3: with this argument.
Speaker 1: Just because I have Disney Plus. The question is do
Speaker 1: I get the tickets with Disney Plus. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of it. I don't think they're associated with each other.
Speaker 1: I mean, for example, like you don't know, but using
Speaker 1: Google for example, if you use Google AdWords, you say
Speaker 1: you're not never gonna sue Google, but if you have,
Speaker 1: if you get hurt on Google property, you know they
Speaker 1: can't keep you from suing because of a secondary issue.
Speaker 1: That's what we thought. Yeah, I don't I don't know
Speaker 1: if that argument is gonna work. I mean, that's what
Speaker 1: they're arguing that that's interesting. Well, anybody can argue anything,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: But I also say that if you buy ticket I
Speaker 3: think it said if you buy tickets through the website,
Speaker 3: same terms of service.
Speaker 1: You know, if you have an issue with no, okay,
Speaker 1: that's not gonna fly. That's a nice argument, and yes
Speaker 1: you it'll it'll tie you up a little bit. But
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that that holds because that's clearly not
Speaker 1: the intention of the clause itself. That what is what
Speaker 1: is me being able to watch The Avengers on TV
Speaker 1: have to do with me dying on property? But here's
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know this is it's kind
Speaker 1: of a little issue here. Disney is not really responsible
Speaker 1: for this restaurant, even though it's a secondary is. People
Speaker 1: don't get just I can rent to somebody and they
Speaker 1: could try to whold me responsible if I know they're
Speaker 1: not doing what they're supposed to be doing, or I
Speaker 1: could have stopped reasonably stopped them. But in this scenario,
Speaker 1: you have a completely separate tendant renting from Disney. Disney
Speaker 1: doesn't own this restaurant, you know, they just rent to
Speaker 1: a bunch of different people. That's like, you know, how
Speaker 1: can I say AMC something happened at the AMC down
Speaker 1: there and them trying to sue Disney. You know, it's
Speaker 1: going to be really difficult to show that Disney was
Speaker 1: responsible for you know, this issue.
Speaker 3: How about you were them real quick this one Jeff.
Speaker 3: Atlanta's Emory Hospital is the uh location where this happened.
Speaker 3: A guy named Fernando Cluster was taken to the hospital
Speaker 3: there back in twenty twenty two with brain bleed. A
Speaker 3: portion of his skull about the size of a saucer,
Speaker 3: was removed to relief pressure, and when the time came
Speaker 3: to replace the bone, the client says, the hospital couldn't
Speaker 3: find it. He and his my wife are now suing Emory,
Speaker 3: alleging that, in addition to the emotional pain and suffering
Speaker 3: caused by the incident, he was charging nearly one hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty thousand dollars for medical expenses directly related to
Speaker 3: the hospital's error, including nineteen thousand dollars for the synthetic
Speaker 3: skull implant that they had to come up with and
Speaker 3: use to replace the bone that they lost.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I can't even what normally happens in the
Speaker 1: situations like this. Okay, I'm going to tell you what
Speaker 1: normally happens in situations like this way the skull cap.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, that's a bad one.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: What normally happens in situations like this is the doctors
Speaker 1: normally don't charge him because they know it's going to
Speaker 1: come back to bite them, because this is this is
Speaker 1: part of the lawsuit going. Not only that you charge me, this,
Speaker 1: this and this, and that just only upsets jurors. You
Speaker 1: know that that's a bad way to do something like that.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like big Brother, like the big company, you know,
Speaker 2: taken advantage of a normal person.
Speaker 1: What they're going to argue is this. They're gonna say, no,
Speaker 1: we couldn't put this one back in. That's that's what
Speaker 1: the argument's going to be. They're not gonna say, yeah,
Speaker 1: we lost it and doubled up, doubled down on them.
Speaker 1: They're gonna say, no, we this this was damaged. We
Speaker 1: couldn't put this back in. It wasn't good. There was
Speaker 1: a problem here. We had to use the synthetic because
Speaker 1: it was better. But they're never gonna say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: we uh we lost it then we doubled up on them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: would not even happen in this place, dude.
Speaker 2: So you know, all right, somebody said I'm dealing with
Speaker 2: a workman's comp case right now and had to ask
Speaker 2: a lot of weird questions from the workmen's comp insurance
Speaker 2: company lawyer, like what truck do I drive? And what
Speaker 2: color is it? Why would that be important in a
Speaker 2: deposition meeting? Well, what happens to depositions? They can basically
Speaker 2: ask whatever they want in a deposition as long as
Speaker 2: it might lead to something.
Speaker 1: They might say, oh, we just wanted a description of
Speaker 1: the truck. You would we wanted to? Depositions are just nons.
Speaker 1: You go in there and the guy on the other
Speaker 1: side asked like five hundred questions. Only maybe it's ten
Speaker 1: percent of them you could be used in a courtroom.
Speaker 1: But they can't ask most questions. So yes, they are silly.
Speaker 1: Just sit there, answer honestly. Hopefully. If you're an attorney
Speaker 1: that prepped you and is sitting with you, you know
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go to one of these things alone. But
Speaker 1: everyone makes their choices.
Speaker 3: Remember that deposition I had to sit through a couple
Speaker 3: of years ago with the lady this, I can't go
Speaker 3: in any detail here. I'll just tell you this. What
Speaker 3: you just described is what happened to me. I sat
Speaker 3: there and they asked me the same question about thirty
Speaker 3: five different ways, and I each time said, I don't
Speaker 3: know how much clearer I could be. No is the answer.
Speaker 1: No. The fact is this, you know, you got to
Speaker 1: be prepped. Don't allow yourself to get mad. That's what
Speaker 1: these depositions at the other attorney just wants to see
Speaker 1: what you're going to look like in trial and beat
Speaker 1: you up till you change your answer. The last few
Speaker 1: questions that you there's no way you can answer, hoping
Speaker 1: that you make something up.
Speaker 2: And I'm convinced that's why they did not interview me
Speaker 2: in this thing. I think there are Without saying too much,
Speaker 2: I think that our company lawyers, when I talked to
Speaker 2: him on the phone, I said, well technically and I
Speaker 2: said something. I think they were like, oh, no, this
Speaker 2: guy's we do not want him in there. So they
Speaker 2: only did pat and like somebody else would not. It
Speaker 2: was the other side that deposed you, not your company. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but your company doesn't get the side.
Speaker 3: I can confirm though. What he's basically saying is they
Speaker 3: put me on the front line and said taco you like,
Speaker 3: weren't even here that day.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, well that's what I mean. They go the
Speaker 1: company rep who was there, who's best to know the information,
Speaker 1: and they gave you.
Speaker 2: Well, they talked to him, they talked to me, they
Speaker 2: talked to somebody else who I want and.
Speaker 1: Guarantee, I guarantee.
Speaker 2: They said, this guy, you do not want them cross
Speaker 2: examining this guy.
Speaker 1: Bob, he's gonna but you would not be sitting next
Speaker 1: to me in the chair if I had a choice. No,
Speaker 1: I tell you, wait, I mean very here. But then again,
Speaker 1: I gotta be pat could lose his mind though, you know,
Speaker 1: he could get a little ornery, and I might not
Speaker 1: want that either.
Speaker 2: So I'm not quite sure how I'm doing this. That's
Speaker 2: why the show balances itself.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I've been working on the length of my fuse.
Speaker 1: Yeah I have. Yes, you don't think you're getting more crotchety,
Speaker 1: getting less crotching.
Speaker 3: I know I'm getting less.
Speaker 2: Okay, he made it a New Year's resolution. I'm damn
Speaker 2: happy for it. You know something, I gave up drinking. Well,
Speaker 2: he didn't really make New Year's resolution because you didn't
Speaker 2: believe in those. But it's just something that he cities
Speaker 2: and do you gave up drinking?
Speaker 1: And Jack, I don't really drink, but I gave it up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember you just come out with us when
Speaker 2: we were out for Thursday football and I have a
Speaker 2: couple of years.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I never take anything serious. But then I realized,
Speaker 1: you know, I really don't need it, and I don't
Speaker 1: like the idea of being scammed because you get scammed,
Speaker 1: you know what tastes good with this one. I was
Speaker 1: in Vegas and one day, for a shot and a drink,
Speaker 1: they hit you up for twenty two dollars. Oh, of course,
Speaker 1: and then they go, you want to double that's forty four.
Speaker 1: I'm going two shots for forty four dollars and we're
Speaker 1: all dumb because we go, oh, well, you gotta get it.
Speaker 1: And I went to a show in Vegas the other
Speaker 1: day and they were like, I said, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna have a coconte, said nobody, like they were
Speaker 1: trying to shame me because I wasn't drinking, and I'm laughing.
Speaker 1: I'm going, God, you just made probably three times the
Speaker 1: concert sales in your alcohol department.
Speaker 3: Could you imagine the how much money we would have
Speaker 3: if we could get back all the money we spent
Speaker 3: on booze over the years.
Speaker 1: Have you gone to a restaurant lately you suddenly you wait,
Speaker 1: why is this bill so cheap? Because I didn't spend
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars on a drink? Yeah, Jack, You at every
Speaker 1: restaurant now, they go, oh, we have this cute drink menu,
Speaker 1: wear eighteen dollars drinks on and you go for a shot.
Speaker 1: Fortunately I drink just beer, so they'll still get you
Speaker 1: for eight dollars. Come on, for Jeff, I've been on
Speaker 1: a workman's comp case for six years? Is there anyway
Speaker 1: I said, guy from the last question.
Speaker 2: No, No, For Jeff, I've been on a work a
Speaker 2: worker's comp case for six years? Is there any way
Speaker 2: I can force a settlement?
Speaker 1: No? No, you can't force anything. What's happening here is
Speaker 1: you have your lawyer and their lawyer. You know, sometimes
Speaker 1: things just drag out. Six years seems a little bit,
Speaker 1: but you know I've seen cases like I just the
Speaker 1: case I just tried was four and a half years old.
Speaker 1: So sometimes it drags out because of evidence, because the
Speaker 1: court's delayed because they can't get certain witnesses. You know
Speaker 1: that happens. Six years seems like a little bit, you know,
Speaker 1: it seems a little long for the typical case. But
Speaker 1: I would ask the eachurn. I said, listen, hey, what
Speaker 1: what are my fair expectations for about how so we
Speaker 1: can get this done with? And if you can't, well,
Speaker 1: we don't know. I'm going to stop it after six years.
Speaker 1: You know, somebody should know something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty crazy.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Now, if we did not get to your question, don't worry.
Speaker 2: I'm printing them up and putting them in a stack
Speaker 2: for next week. I before you can reach out to
Speaker 2: Jeff today if you want directly yet, Jeff at when
