per_soloAnd, I think for me, a first.
I got a letter today, more like one of those envelopes that have unfolded papers in them. From, "McNally Law Offices, s.c."
Ok, what the hell is this about??
"Dear Per_solo,
According to police reports we have examined, you were involved in an accident on January 21, 2008, at which time you may have suffered an injury that warrants the assistance and representation of a qualified lawyer. If you have already retained the services of a lawyer to protect your rights or you have not sustained personal injuries, I ask you to disregard this letter"
And then it goes into talking about your rights when injured, getting your money, and has a booklet that talks of such.
I'm just amused. It didn't take long, though I'm curious how they get the opportunity to "examine police reports". I had to pay money for mine, so what the hell?
And lawyers (even the good ones, I know a few who are good, and I feel bad for the next comment) wonder why people refer to them as Ambulance chasers? Why one of the funniest characters on "The Simpsons" was Lionel Hutz...
Now, my question is...how do I find out how or why exactly a law firm has access to such police reports?
