John O. March 25, 2025
I was very impressed when Randy and I first met. He made me feel confident that I had chosen the right representation. He tried to sight the "Good Samaritan Law" as being my obligation to run after an unmanned vehicle, carrying a large trolly designed to transport people, using Clydsdale horses. The owner of the rig left the brake on the trolly, and forgot to put the truck in park. When he popped the brake, the truck started rolling away. I was driving by as this happened, and I saw him try to get into the large truck (Short guy with bad knees it turns out), subsequently fall, and it made me chase after that very slow moving vehicle. I wouldn't make it, though. I was about 20 feet away when I fell, end over end, and was knocked out, sustaining a concusion, descimated right wrist, and some scrapes and cuts. One would think that this was a mass casualty insurance claim. But Randy, he had it in his mind, in my opinion, to create case law. He said that because the vehicle was an unmanned active accessory, it was without doubt responsible. He had previous case law printed out, and convinced me to pursue it as a vehicle accident, covered under no-fault insurance. I had extensive hand and wrist surgery, months of physical therapy, and to this day it hurts in the winter after only a few minutes. "3 or 4 times the medical bills, minus our fee + expenses" he said. I trusted him. After all, he was the winner of....just a ton of things according to the little pamphlet he handed me along with the fancy Knutson + Casey folder. This was September, 2017. We lost the initial case, when the judge decided with a summary judgment that this was not a vehicle accident. Had I touched any part of the vehicle, it would have been. This was a regular old slip and fall, and, according to that judge and that defending attorney, should have been a mass casualty insurance claim. But wait...was it over? Were there other options at this point? YES. According to at least one legal eagle, Randy should have been running 2 lawsuits at the same time. One against Bristol, and one against.....well whatever that other insurance was, he never bothered to ask. I don't think, anyway. I probably would have won the other lawsuit, and been compensated. But, the payout would have been less, the effort more, and let's not forget that glory that could have been had.

Q. Can i file a lawsuit on LinkedIn for having another user impersonating me and using my information?
A: That is an interesting question. You might be able to make a claim for defamation, such as slander or libel, if they said something false while using your profile. You might also have a claim for fraud, or consumer fraud, and in some states you can make a claim for invasion of privacy.
