BEST LAWYER STORY OF THE YEAR, DECADE AND PROBABLY THE CENTURY.

North Carolina
A lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, and then
insured them against, among other things, fire. Within a month, having
smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having
made even his first premium payment on the policy the lawyer filed a
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!
(Stay with me.)

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, 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 to the lawyer for his loss
of the 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 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 fine.

This is a true story and was the First Placewinner in the recent
Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.
.......ONLY IN AMERICA , NO WONDER THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES THINK THE YANKS R NUTS!
