Kramer Law Group - June 2019

Close your eyes and imagine for a moment that your best buddy has surprised you with tickets to a Jazz game with the best seats you have ever seen. In your preparation for the big game, you get your Mitchell jersey ready, gas up the car, and head on down to the Vivint Smart Home Arena. Just walking up to the entrance makes you feel sentimental. As you navigate your way through crowds of other enthusiastic fans, you breathe in the delicious smells permeating the air around you: the smoked bacon and gouda aroma from Cubby’s burgers, the piquant and drool-worthy fragrance of R&R Barbecue’s pulled pork, and the sweet, chocolaty goodness of Farr Ice Cream. You take your seat; stare out at the ocean of navy, gold, and green; watch the tip-off; and scream your lungs out along with nearly 19,000 other fans. The gratitude you feel toward your buddy for surprising you with these tickets is the same feeling the team here at Kramer Law Group has when one of our clients refers us to their friends and family. Few people realize how important their referrals are. New clients may struggle to place their trust in a firm that is brand-new to them — especially when dealing with something as physically and emotionally painful as personal injury. They will feel far more comfortable working with a company validated by people they know personally. So, to those of you who have referred us to your friends or family members, thank you for making us feel like we are jumping up and down at WHAT DO REFERRALS HAVE TO DO WITH BASKETBALL? THE UTAH JAZZ AND YOU

LAWSUITS FROM BEYOND

We pride ourselves on being a country where everyone receives a fair trial. And while that’s not always the case, even the craziest claims still have to be heard in some capacity by a court of law. As you can imagine, this can result in plenty of spooky high jinks in the courtroom. Let’s take a look at some of the more baffling court cases in recent memory. In something straight out of a Coen brothers movie, a New York man had to sue The New York Times on three separate occasions to get them to stop reporting that he was dead. In all fairness, it seemed like an honest mistake prolonged by the ineptitude of his public counsel and a whole lot of terrible coincidences all rolled into one. Juan Antonio Arias just so happened to share the same first and last name as one “Juan Arias” who had met his untimely demise. After it was reported in a Times article, the living Arias accidentally had his own date of birth and Social Security number added to the death certificate of his now deceased namesake in a terrible mix-up from the coroner. As a result, he sued on three occasions after his lawyer missed certain deadlines to turn in proper documents. Thankfully, the issue was resolved, but not before he had his credit cards and Medicaid revoked after appearing to be dead. An unnamed New York resident — just what on earth is going on in New York? — claimed that the house they’d recently purchased was horribly and cripplingly haunted by unseen forces. The poltergeist was said to disrupt their daily activity, and the plaintiff was suing on the grounds that the home was notorious in the area for being haunted and had a reputation as such, therefore it should have been disclosed to the buyer before closing. They won. That’s right; the court ruled that the seller misled the plaintiff and should have disclosed the nature of this potentially harmful house. Shockingly enough, this type of thing is required to be disclosed when selling a house in New York. Well, at least a buyer will have peace of mind knowing that they got a sweet new pad and a ghoul for pennies on the dollar. LET’S HOPE THERE’S A COURTROOM IN THE AFTERLIFE DEAD MAN TALKING SOLEMNLY SPOOKED
