Oh Goody… I get to go court tomorrow…. AGAIN!
Fricking law suit has been going on for almost 3 years now.
Thing is, it’s a personal injury law suit… Guy claims he slipped and fell on our front steps… Except he had not been a client here for 6 weeks before he claims he slipped. No one saw him here that day, he has no witnesses, he did not report an accident to us that day. Even so, we do not own this property, we rent. I think his attorney was hoping to get a quick settlement offer from an insurance company… just for writing a couple letters. Lawyer doesn’t get any money unless they win. Not gonna happen! Under California law, you cannot sue a tenant for something that’s the property owner’s domain. They are suing me, not the property owner… and I won’t tell them who that is. They are also trying to use building codes that became law in 1992…. but my place was built in 1913 and does meet building codes of that era. It’s been going on so long because they keep postponing the trial… their client keeps going to jail and isn’t in court the day he’s supposed to be there. I know he’s in jail again and won’t be there tomorrow and they will probably ask for another continuance… for which I will object. This comes with the territory (being sued) when you run an alcohol and drug facility. I’ve been sued 6 times since 1999 and have a 6-0 record. I just want this shit to be over.
