A Charlotte, NC, lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive

cigars,

then insured them against fire among other things. Within a month

having

smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet

having

made even his first premium payment on the olicy, the lawyer filed

claim

against the insurance company.

 

In his claim, the lawyer stated 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 fashion. The lawyer

sued....and won! In delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the

insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The Judge stated

nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which

it had

warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it

would

insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be

unacceptable fire," and was obligated to pay the claim.

 

Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance

company

accepted the ruling and paid $15,000.00 to the lawyer for his loss of

the

rare cigars lost in the "fires."

 

NOW FOR THE BEST PART... After the lawyer cashed the check, the

insurance

company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!!

 

With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case

being

used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his

insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a

$24,000.00

fine. This is a true story and was the 1st place winner in the recent

Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.
