Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 Thanks to Sharon for bringing this to our attention. Everyone should click on this link and read the entire 28 page court judgement, because, in my opinion [i'm NOT a lawyer],it means that WE ALL NOW HAVE THE POWER TO GET A LAWYER FOR FREE to handle our mold cases. A lawyer will represent someone on a " contingency basis " if there is a good legal precedent that he feels would make him certain of winning a large cash judgement in your case. " Contingency " means that he only gets money if he wins your case for you. He takes a [large] percentage of the money you are awarded, and you pay him NOTHING if he loses your case. Before you get too excited though, you still have to get Dr. Shoemaker, or a similar medical mold expert, to testify at your trial. And doctors, as we all know, only work for CASH UP FRONT. I suggest that you print out all 28 pages and show them to a lawyer. Who knows, you may even find one that would be willing to lay out the money for the Doctor to testify at your trial. This would be a " trial expense " . Lawyers get reimbursed for trial expenses, out of your cash award and then they take their percentage. I'm not sure what your responsibility towards paying the lawyer for " trial expenses " is, should you lose the case, so be careful what you sign in the lawyers office regarding expenses and percentages. To get the court judgement, click on the link below: " www.courts.state.md.us/opinions/cosa/2006/1270s05.pdf " If the link line does not connect you, just type it into your address bar, at the top of your screen, and hit the " enter " key on your keyboard. The PDF format document should be saved, on your computer, as a document, so you can print it, and read it, even when you are not connected to the internet. You may have to leave copies at a few lawyers, for them to read, before you find one who hears the sound of a cash register. This is the way the world is. The rest of the world will only help US, if they can help themselves, in the process. Quote
