Should I stage a slip and fall accident outside the local ambulance chasing hook-nosed lawyer next door ? -

There is a typical money-grubbing swine of a lawyer with an office just down the street and these jerks NEVER shovel the public sidewalk outside their office. I try to walk on the public sidewalk and i have to trudge through a month-old pack of snow and ice 4 inches thick. This just MIGHT cause me to slip and fall and take their hook noses to court!! Should I do this? How much money should I ask for?

Are you even aware that you re being bigoted against Jewish people with these comments? Damn, dude...you could have asked the question about this without the commentary. And besides, now that this has been posted on the internet, however quot;anonymouslyquot; it may seem, your stunt would not go anywhere in court. Attorneys know how to find people to track information online. I wouldn t recommend it. Maybe you could just report them to a local city agency that would fine them instead? It might be more efficient.

Go for it. And hope you don t get a hook-nosed judge. There are a lot of them, you know.

Go for it. And since it s convenient, hire them to sue themselves.

Wow...bigot much? Go for all you re worth...a cool quarter should cover it.

What you are thinking of doing is completely unethical. If you don t like the snow on the attorney s sidewalk, write them a complaint letter and copy your local mayor on the letter. THE 10 SECRETS FOR WRITING KILLER COMPLAINT LETTERS Here are 10 strategies for writing complaint letters that are guaranteed to get attention and action. 1. Write To The Senior Person Responsible It is important that you get the name and detailed mailing address of a very senior person responsible for the product or service that you are complaining about. I generally try to write to the V.-P. level. Never go below Director level if you want a serious response. Name and address information can be obtained from the organization s Web site or by calling the company and asking for the name and title of the senior person who you should write to. 2. Don t Send An E-Mail When it comes to sending a serious complaint to a company, don t send an e-mail, regardless of what it may say on their Web site. E-mails are usually handled dismissively by low level quot;customer servicequot; people. If you want serious attention and action, the formal written complaint letter is the only way to go. (yes, by snail mail!). When it arrives in the V.-P.s office, it triggers a bureaucratic process that ensures that the right people will see your letter, and will act on it. 3. Keep It As Short As Possible Preferably no longer than one page, two at the most. When drafting a complaint letter there can be a tendency to go on and on just to make sure the recipient gets the point. Keep it as short as possible, but without diluting the facts of your message too much. 4. Give It A Heading For Easy Identification Place a heading at the top of the letter with information that the company or agency will relate to, such as your account number or customer number. Make it easy for them to find you on their computer filing system. 5. Clearly Explain The Situation Make sure that you give all of the specific details needed so that the company/agency can verify your claim without you having to get into an endless game of telephone tag with them. Include specific dates, times and places, as well as the names of people you dealt with. If you re not sure of these when composing the letter, call them back and ask for the specifics. (You don t have to say it s for a complaint letter). 6. Use A Positive and Respectful Tone I have found that the best approach is to use a positive upbeat tone. Remember, you are writing to a senior person who probably sympathizes with what happened to you. Your tone should convey the message that you are the innocent victim and you understand that the company wouldn t have done such a thing deliberately. 7. Send Copies If Appropriate There can be cases where it is wise to send a copy of the letter to other parties just to make sure that you will get some serious action. For example, in a case where you have been told to write to a Regional Manager of a program, it is often a good idea to make sure that someone in head office also gets a copy. I sometimes send a copy to customer services or customer relations, offices at the national level. 8. quot;Shamequot; Them As Much As Possible Companies that claim and advertise high levels of customer focus and service do not like to be criticized in those areas. If you have a strong case that makes them vulnerable in one of these areas, use as much ammunition as you can to embarrass them in these sensitive areas. Modern marketing terms such as: customer relationship management (CRM), one-to-one marketing, most valuable customer (MVC), and customer-centric focus, all tend to get their attention. Also, using such terms makes you sound like an authority. 9. Imply You Might Take Your Business Elsewhere I always do this near the closing. Companies don t like to lose customers, especially long-time customers. Senior marketing people are well aware that study after study has shown that it costs five to seven times as much to recruit a new customer as it does to hold on to an existing one. 10. Ask For An Early Reply In the closing paragraph of your complaint letter, state specifically that you are expecting an early reply. Make sure that you follow-up by phone or e-mail if you have heard nothing in three weeks. Some companies will send you an acknowledgement letter stating that they are working on your case and will get back to you within a week or two.

I wouldn t pick a fight with a lawyer they will probably sue you for damaging there sidewalk from falling down on it.

you wont get any money unless you get hurt or get a doctor to say your hurt, generally its not a good idea. if its a public sidewalk he might be required to shovel it. check it out you might be able to get him in trouble
