What decade did you arrive in rural SC?
.
lol was there a “small town malpractice insurer” back then?anyway, the point stands. MedMal insurers don’t like to part with their money—even in rural SC. Your father in law should have considered “going bare” in his practice environment.
it’s also true that patients with no legitimate claim struggle to find attorneys to accept or go forward with their case as they would recover no fee for all the unbillable hours. This is why they have screeners.

Hard to believe you’ve been sued; you seem so nice to dispute someone’s personal experience about their family member.
yeah that and I’m “naive about lawyers” lolKeep going, you’re doing just fine!

Your point leaned heavily toward “just pay the girl” and move on, without a second glance. I just don’t know enough to accept that, even if you are trying to couch your position with “assumptions”. We don’t know either of these people.
My Father-in-law was a dentist forever in a small town. Not long before his retirement he had the first malpractice claim of his life filed against him. It was from a poor old lady who he had been caring for for decades. He did nothing wrong, and everybody knew it. The insurance company insisted that they had never had a claim from him before, so they were just going to settle. Because it was the easiest thing to do. He never got over that.
I think both parties present at the time believe their version of events. I do not think either of them are “lying”, it’s just different perspectives. It’s very personal to them, and I’ll step back and hope they can both find a comfortable place to move on from.
Insurers don’t settle cases that have zero merit. Having been sued and having reviewed and testified as an expert witness in far more cases, an insurer will only settle if there are actual damages and they fear a jury award would be higher. After both plaintiff and defendant experts weigh in on paper or deposition, they typically decide to settle or defend the case. I’ve never seen a case where “nothing wrong happened” to warrant a settlement offer. They are loathe to settle “nuisance cases”. It’s not a good habit for them to get into for obvious reasons.-

AP had great #'s in Minny, then mediocre on 6 subsequent teams (barring 1 season over 1000 in WAS). He became Frank Gore.
Vikings were 1-4 in the playoffs in his time with them. 4 winning seasons out of 10 there. Not a game changer.
Josh Allen is a far more valuable and therefore a much better pick than AP. It's not even debatable really....

He's great there, but not really a "scene stealer"--he's a lead/primary character in that show. Has to be someone who has an arc in the life of a show or a season of it and is gone--but makes th absolute most of his/her appearances.

Thanks Augie
The reason I bring up the funds is because a civil trial is very different from a criminal one. In a criminal case, the convicted goes to prison. The victim gets essentially nothing other than the knowledge that the convicted is locked up and therefore can’t hurt anyone else for the term of their incarceration. However, in a civil case the remedy goes directly to the victim, not to society at large. It’s why, as I’m sure everyone can tell, I’m uncomfortable with these cases. I guess it’s why I’d be less uncomfortable if the plaintiff said they were going to donate the proceeds.
Why should "society at large" benefit from a victim of assault's suffering? That doesn't make any sense at all. How many civil payouts ever have been given away by the victim or their families? It's righteous compensation. "Society at large", which includes all the jock sniffers, hero worshippers, boosters, dirty universities and look the other way college town cops, clearly deserve nothing.
The purpose of suing for money is to punish and inflict financial pain on the perp, obviously. If the victim can't take the perp's freedom, they will seek to take the second most precious thing--his livelihood.....which, if allegations are true, he was allowed to earn because he was never charged by a pliant local police force (anyone remember the James Winston "investigation" at Florida State, or the serial sexual assault of the Ohio State wrestlers?) and University.
The monetary award and the shame it piles on the perp (who would lose his status as well) is the best a victim could hope for.

Sir, rather than focus on your shortcomings, enjoy this beautiful weekend with your family.I too am an egomaniac with an inferiority complex. How did I come to understand that you ask?
Well, I would take an innocuous question that my grandchildren would ask, and make my response into an accusation about some ridiculous, unrelated issue. So ridiculous, that no one would counter that argument. However, I would do it in such a demeaning, condescending way that would feed on their insecurities and cause them to not only engage in the argument, but defend the ridiculous accusation. Then I would obviously win the argument and therefore feel better about myself. This was repeated over and over. I alienated everyone around me.
Once this was brought to my attention in a sweat lodge at an ayahuasca retreat at Aaron Rodgers’ home, I understood I needed to change.
So, hug your children and contact Aaron Rodgers before the season starts. He’s running the final retreat during training came, I believe
Understand the pool depth before diving in…Cheers and enjoy the long weekend

What does that have to do with my asking of there is any documentation of her reporting to the police or going to the hospital?
It’s rhetorical; it has nothing to do with it.
You are just being your usual argumentative ego-driven self. Happy 4th!
you said I was "naive" about lawyers. how so?

Rebecca Hendryx
March 25, 2022
After a year of being silenced while this case was ongoing, I’m here a year later standing up for myself, bringing the broken system to light, and sharing the most vulnerable story of myself. March 25, 2021 I was raped in my own dorm room by a boy I had only met once before, a boy who was an early enrollee and had only been on campus for 8 weeks, a boy who was and STILL IS an active member on the University of Kentucky's Football team. The past twelve months have been exhausting, humiliating, and beyond frustrating. I've had to do things that I hope and pray no other 19-year-old goes through, but unfortunately, I know they will. Throughout this year-long process I have been forced to recount my story dozens of times, further deepening the trauma into my mind. I have been questioned about my choices, my response to the assault, and have been made to believe that I somehow asked for this.There is no right way to “act” or respond when you’re being assaulted, or the long days that follow.
Although there is no right answer, I did everything I believed was right, everything I had been taught was the “right” thing to do if faced with such circumstances. I stayed up all night immediately following the incident making sure I did everything to “protect” myself in a hope of holding my assaulter accountable. I contacted officers, friends, and family to make them aware of what happened. I immediately went to the University of Kentucky hospital and spent hours therel having an extremely invasive exam done on my body.
I was escorted by police straight from the hospital to the Lexington Courthouse to file an emergency protective order against the perpetrator, which was granted. I was then met at my dorm room by three detectives who took fingerprints and photos from my room, but this was just the beginning.
I then hired an attorney and began fighting for justice and protection. After a Fayette County Judge heard my testimony (and my perpetrator was given the opportunity to do the same) I was granted an order of protection for the next 3 years. I was hopeful. Hopeful that people would hear me, believe me, and fight for me. I was hopeful that I would be actively protecting other victims of sexual assault by my own story and trauma.
That hope was met with dead ends at every turn. I was told criminal charges would not be brought because there wasn’t “force.” Meaning because I didn’t physically fight back, there was no hope of accountability.
My next hope was a Title IX hearing with the University of Kentucky. I was fully prepared for another disappointment, but I wanted to keep going. After giving testimony about my story, having my friends give their testimony about the story and letting my perpetrator do the same, I felt hopeful again for the first time in months. My case was devastatingly clear. I thought a small sliver of justice may be served. But once again, I was let down.
Despite an audio recording I secretly filmed immediately following the incident where he never denied the fact I told him multiple times I did not want to have sex, and that he forced it, the SANE kit from the hospital, the dm’s between myself and the perpetrator, and the witnesses I provided, the law turned their cheek. I was given a choice and chance to file a lawsuit against the perpetrator, but money was never the solution.
I want people to know the disgusting truth of what it looks like to be ignored, made “at fault”, and let down by the system that is supposed to protect individuals against sexual assault. I’ve been abandoned and left to fight on my own by the University of Kentucky, Title IX UK, and mostly the detectives, police, and law. If perpetrators are not held accountable it is clear that it will inevitably happen again.
There needs to be change. College athletes need to be held accountable for their actions regardless of the status that they have. Change cannot happen when victims of rape are being silenced and belittled everday.
The heartbreaking fact of the matter is that athletes are valuable to the school and the University will invest in attorneys, scholarships, and time into anything to make sure they’re protected. The University is alternatively willing to turn a blind eye to events that happen to non-athletes, especially women who are victims of sexual assault.
Thank you to my family, attorneys, and friends for loving me and supporting me through the hardest year of my life.
for anyone who still in't sure...

Witch hunt?? All I was asking was if corroborating documentation exists of her statements, because I read on here that the police said they had no report of her accusations. Geez relax.
You seem naive about what lawyers will do.
you read incorrectly, but anyway…help me out—since you brought naïveté, Why would a lawyer agree to take a case on contingency fee basis without asking the client any basic questions at all?

The part I’m confused about is her interaction with the police. The article above says she said she went to the police. I’ve seen upthread that the police have no report concerning her coming to them with the accusation.
So, either she’s lying about going to the police, or the police didn’t even bother filing a report if they did interact with her.
Beane’s response about the situation sounds to me like the Bills aren’t worried at all about this.

Again, I’m asking if there is any documentation by the police or the hospital for the two events: 1) her visit with the police and 2) her visit with the hospital. Or is her statement that those two events occurred all that exists to document them happening.11 minutes ago, Doc Brown said:It's unclear at this time. The Lexington police said they didn't have a record of the incident. The Fayette County's sheriff department replied with no comment. Any documentation of a policy, hospital, or university report the accuser and her attorney do have they can't provide because certain information must be kept confidential.
The Athletic/NYT reported that she posted a copy of the police report and the university's Title IX hearing on her social media.....in 2022.
Also, that the university's daily crime log showed that "offenses" of first-degree rape and first-degree burglary (that he broke into her dorm room)were investigated.
No lawyer is going to file such a suit based solely on a client saying they went to the cops and the hospital....come on!

Hence why nine teams passed on him
he also got to sit on the bench behind a pro bowl caliber quarterback and correct some flaws from the sideline which is always the correct way to bring along a quarterback if you can
no one is arguing he was "a consensus #1 pick", so you can holster that straw man.

Given it is 4 years later. I know systems are different by state and country. But believe in Ontario we have 2 years for a suit to be filed. Hence my opinion that it shouldn't be going to any trial.
so you are saying the law should not allow a suit to be filed after 2 years or are you saying the case has no merit?Most such cases will settle before court anyway. Either way the plaintiff gets “their day in court court” in that the defendant must respond. In discovery, they both can make their case in deposition
16 hours ago, Jalan81 said:You can talk about 1000 cases but not a single other case has anything to do with this one. Lots of innocent people settle for a number of reasons. It may be cheaper than a protracted legal battle, it ends the uncertainty of a trial etc. There is also no doubt a number of people file suits as a gamble for a big payout knowing full well they are hoping they can convince a jury they have been injured in some way. I’ve worked in the construction industry for years. I know several people who were injured outside of work and then reported it as a work injury and ended up with a work comp payout. People are dishonest, the system can be played, by men, by woman, in all situations.
no one is arguing that people lie about facts that they can then sue over.
this person filed a police report at the time, when this kid was essentially a nobody.

no one would equate Brady coming out of college with Mahomes. You just did I think..17 hours ago, Doc said:LOL! Every team has premier pass rusher as a need. If they teams knew how good he would be, he'd have been drafted top-5. He lasted until 30 because he had 1 year of any production whatsoever, his last one, out of 4 in college.
And who knows what he would have done for Buffalo? All I know is what happened. A team everyone thought was tanking and had most of its talented players shipped-off made the playoffs for the first time in 17 years.
But don't worry, as has been said numerous times, McD was running the draft that year. He essentially fired himself when he recommended Beane.
who knows what he would have done in Buffalo??? lol wtf -
