Speaker 1: You're listenings k f I AM six forty. The bill
Speaker 1: handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio f K five
Speaker 1: AM six forty. Handle here, good morning, one more hour
Speaker 1: to go of the show, and then now Rich Tomorrow
Speaker 1: follows us from eleven to two and then comes to
Speaker 1: Neil Savedra, who is with me on Monday through Friday
Speaker 1: on the Morning Show, and his show this afternoon from
Speaker 1: two to five is the Fork Report All Things Foody,
Speaker 1: because Neil really is a serious foody. I mean's tremendous
Speaker 1: cook and maybe even a chef, and boy, he knows
Speaker 1: food and he and I try to out eat each
Speaker 1: other every time we meet for lunch or breakfast, and
Speaker 1: it's really close every time. Phone number. We do have
Speaker 1: some lines open as we start the hour. Always lines
Speaker 1: are open at the top of the hour, and the
Speaker 1: numbers eight hundred five to zero one five three four,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and five two zero one five three four.
Speaker 1: This is handle on the Law Marginal legal advice. Okay.
Speaker 1: President Trump has signed more executive orders than I think
Speaker 1: any president in history. I mean, he started with pardons
Speaker 1: day one and those are by the thousands already. And
Speaker 1: he also has signed executive orders that heretofore, you know,
Speaker 1: we didn't understand, and the Supreme Court has backed him
Speaker 1: up by the way in terms of his expansion of
Speaker 1: presidential powers. So this one, I don't know if anybody's
Speaker 1: gonna really argue with this. He signed an executive order
Speaker 1: classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. Now that's
Speaker 1: an interesting one because that is unprecedented and it gives
Speaker 1: the US government additional legal firepower to combat are the
Speaker 1: legal trafficking. So I don't know how many of people
Speaker 1: going to argue with this. And the executive order cites
Speaker 1: the lethality or the lethality of the drugs and which
Speaker 1: it kills. I mean, as we all know, tens of
Speaker 1: thousands of Americans every year, so it is as every
Speaker 1: bit as dangerous as anybody can describe. And the fact
Speaker 1: that transnational criminal groups the Trump administration has designated as
Speaker 1: foreign terrorists organization and they use the sale of fentanyl
Speaker 1: to fund activities that undermine US national securities. So his
Speaker 1: declaration that there are foreign terrorist organizations and they have
Speaker 1: been named Isis is one, al Qaeda is one. And
Speaker 1: now you add to that that the drug itself is
Speaker 1: deemed a weapon of mass destruction. Well, and because of that,
Speaker 1: you have a whole lot of federal intervention across the board.
Speaker 1: And we're talking about military intervention, much like you know,
Speaker 1: the drug boats off the coast of Venezuela have been attacked,
Speaker 1: all based on national security. You know what it's. It's
Speaker 1: his argument is that the immigration limits and border security
Speaker 1: measures have led to a drop in domestic consumption. Therefore,
Speaker 1: fewer Americans are being killed by this drug, and therefore,
Speaker 1: because the more fentanyl comes in, the more the many
Speaker 1: more people die of overdoses. Therefore, based on national security,
Speaker 1: I don't know how he connects the two, but he does.
Speaker 1: And there's been a lot of debate, by the way,
Speaker 1: about characterizing fentanyl that way. Before the Biden administration faced
Speaker 1: a bunch of pressure from a bipartisan contingent of attorneys
Speaker 1: general to classify fentanyl as a WMD weapon of mass destruction.
Speaker 1: So this isn't a new idea, it's just that the
Speaker 1: president has done it. Now. What's kind of interesting is
Speaker 1: this drug comes from Mexico. And because it comes from Mexico,
Speaker 1: is Mexico a foreign terrorist organization or state? I don't know, certainly,
Speaker 1: Iran Is, which makes a lot of sense. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and take a phone call or two.
Speaker 1: And there's some kind of interesting ones here too. How
Speaker 1: am I doing for time? Oh, I'm fine, all right? Kay,
Speaker 1: hi ky, welcome Hi.
Speaker 2: Yes, the powers that be in Los Angeles are kicking
Speaker 2: out permanently the Boy Scout at the Cabrillo Beach Boy
Speaker 2: Scout Club start December first. They have to be out
Speaker 2: after Christmas because they say they want to put something
Speaker 2: for the Olympics in the Boy Scout camp. Fine, that's
Speaker 2: two weeks. But after that they're not going to invite
Speaker 2: invite this eighty year old boy Scout camp back. The
Speaker 2: powers that be want to make it an LLC yacht club,
Speaker 2: nonprofit for poor rich kids. I don't understand whether they're
Speaker 2: not looking this eighty year old camp back. But the
Speaker 2: published article, the lawyers said that they have the right
Speaker 2: to get rid of the Boy Scouts because of their
Speaker 2: not being the place is not being occupied. I don't understand.
Speaker 2: It's a camp nine to five. The kids are in school.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, And I don't understand the definition of what
Speaker 1: they think is occupied. I mean, that's the one I
Speaker 1: don't understand.
Speaker 3: Do.
Speaker 1: And when you say they, I'm assuming it's a county beach.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a county beach.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's county property, and the county has every
Speaker 1: right to say this group can use it in that group.
Speaker 1: They just can't be discriminatory. In other words, if they
Speaker 1: let the boy Scouts in, they can't very well say
Speaker 1: we're not going to let girl Scouts in, So they
Speaker 1: can't be discriminatory that way. However, they can say we're
Speaker 1: going to use this speech for something else. They have
Speaker 1: every right to do that. And it's especially if they're
Speaker 1: talking about for the public good. And if they refuse
Speaker 1: to leave, they can just grab the property. Well, it's
Speaker 1: already there, so it doesn't matter. Do they have right
Speaker 1: to do that? Yeah they do. Yeah, they do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they can say that, and I'll tell you where the
Speaker 1: public good is. I'll tell you where the public good is.
Speaker 1: They're going to argue that a yacht club is going
Speaker 1: to generate a ton of taxes that go into the
Speaker 1: general fund and it helps the county. That's the basis
Speaker 1: of many, many cases of eminent domain. Yeah, they have
Speaker 1: a right to do that. Horrible, horrible, And you're right,
Speaker 1: I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying that they have
Speaker 1: a right to do that, and lawyers can fight it
Speaker 1: and say it's not for the public good. It's this
Speaker 1: is These are cases that have gone all over the
Speaker 1: place because a private yacht club is a private yacht club.
Speaker 1: And by the way, it's not just for the incredibly
Speaker 1: wealthy people, but it's not for poor people. Granted it's
Speaker 1: a private club, but if it generates taxes, they can
Speaker 1: argue that's the public good. You know, it's it's the
Speaker 1: way it goes. What can I tell you, Linda hilnda Hi, Yes, Linda, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 4: I own a property in Nazada and my tenant bought
Speaker 4: new windows. I think it's like twenty three thousand dollars
Speaker 4: and now I have construction Lean on my property.
Speaker 5: M h.
Speaker 4: I can't sign anything. I have the contract that he
Speaker 4: signed and it was between the company.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask were the windows installed were okay?
Speaker 1: Hold on? Were the windows installed properly?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, so you have no, you don't have a problem.
Speaker 1: All you have is a probably construction Lean from some
Speaker 1: kind of whoever supplies a supplier, and so the construction
Speaker 1: lian is.
Speaker 3: From whom from the supplier.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So here's what happens is these are
Speaker 1: usually preliminary construction leans, not after the fact. They're usually
Speaker 1: done before the fact. As a matter of fact, they
Speaker 1: have to be done before the fact, and these are normal.
Speaker 1: If the supplier is not paid, then the supplier has
Speaker 1: the right to go after the homeowner. If the supplier
Speaker 1: was paid, then the notice of lean disappears. And by
Speaker 1: the way, it's a prominary notice of lean on it
Speaker 1: hasn't actually been filed on your property. You just have
Speaker 1: a preliminary notice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I can sign anything and it's not under.
Speaker 1: What do you mean you didn't sign anything. You didn't
Speaker 1: sign a contract. The twenty three thousand dollars worth of windows,
Speaker 1: you didn't sign. No, No, it was the just threw
Speaker 1: it in.
Speaker 7: Okay, change the.
Speaker 1: Windows, that's it, without you knowing.
Speaker 4: Without mean knowing.
Speaker 3: I have a copy of their contract.
Speaker 1: Okay, wait that you have a copy of their contract
Speaker 1: with the supplier, right.
Speaker 4: With the window company.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I haven't. I don't, Linda, I don't understand this. You
Speaker 1: have a tenant who, without telling you, spends twenty three
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to put in windows. I've never heard of that.
Speaker 1: How long was the tenancy and is it a house?
Speaker 4: It's a house, Yeah, but the tenant was there maybe
Speaker 4: eight months?
Speaker 1: Eight months and put in twenty three thousand dollars worth
Speaker 1: of windows, yes, and never even you didn't even know
Speaker 1: it was happening.
Speaker 4: No, when I went to when I went.
Speaker 1: That's okay, Linda, this is well. I don't usually get
Speaker 1: phone calls that I've never gotten in my life before,
Speaker 1: and that is one of them. So if the if
Speaker 1: the supplier was paid, then you don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about it. If the supplier was not paid, then there
Speaker 1: is a preliminary notice and you can lean the property
Speaker 1: by the way, and then you just say I didn't
Speaker 1: know anything about it because there's no contract. There's no
Speaker 1: contract with anybody, correct. Yeah, so you know what, You wait,
Speaker 1: you wait, and then you try to move and expunge
Speaker 1: the lean. I mean, I don't even know where to
Speaker 1: go with this. I mean, have you ever heard of that.
Speaker 1: You rent a house and all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: renter decides he's going to spend twenty three thousand dollars
Speaker 1: putting in new windows. They don't even tell the landlord. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll be back. This is Handle on the Law. Okay,
Speaker 1: a fine handle here. It is a Saturday morning phone
Speaker 1: number eight hundred five two zero one five three four
Speaker 1: eight hundred five two zero one five three four. And
Speaker 1: when you get your calls in, because at the top
Speaker 1: of the hour, I'm gone. It's been a pleasure talking
Speaker 1: to you, especially if I tell you, of course you
Speaker 1: have no case, because I live for that. Welcome back
Speaker 1: Handle on the Law marginal legal advice where I tell
Speaker 1: you you have absolutely no case. Phone number here to
Speaker 1: find out if you do or not is eight hundred
Speaker 1: five two zero one five three four eight hundred five
Speaker 1: two zero one five three four. Okay, welcome back more
Speaker 1: Handle on the Law. Hello Michelle, Yes, ma'am, Hello Michelle,
Speaker 1: are you there? Oo? Do do do do? Do do doo?
Speaker 1: Did Michelle hang up? Sam? Or We have no idea
Speaker 1: if that line is still alive, all right, she should
Speaker 1: still be there. Maybe Michelle is talking about the problem
Speaker 1: with her hearing aid and it's gone south and she
Speaker 1: can't hear anything anymore. No, that's probably not the case.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll stick Michelle on hold for a minute
Speaker 1: and see if she comes back in the meantime, Mary,
Speaker 1: let's talk to you. Hello, Mary, Yes, hello, are you?
Speaker 1: Thank you much? Just to be on wonderful What can
Speaker 1: I do for you?
Speaker 5: Okay? Yes, I'm a co trustee in a irrevocable trust
Speaker 5: that is pretty much finalized. There are about twenty beneficiaries.
Speaker 5: My question is that everything the accounting has been done
Speaker 5: and lawyer has sent out a waiver to all the
Speaker 5: beneficiaries to sign. But what I have been told is
Speaker 5: that if all the beneficiaries do not sign, we cannot
Speaker 5: send out the final disbursements. Is that true?
Speaker 3: You know what?
Speaker 1: I don't know If it is, I wouldn't think so,
Speaker 1: because how does someone, let's say, George, who is a beneficiary,
Speaker 1: if he doesn't sign, does that mean nineteen people are
Speaker 1: not going to get their money? And what if George
Speaker 1: is incapacitated, What if George dies? What if George is
Speaker 1: deemed mentally unfit to sign it? So I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I would doubt it.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: I think that you may have a waiver as to
Speaker 1: a specific individual. George, if you don't sign a waiver,
Speaker 1: you're not getting that money because you have to sign off.
Speaker 1: But I don't think the rest of it. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, I really don't. I think you're okay. But twenty,
Speaker 1: by the way, twenty beneficiaries, that's a big trust. How
Speaker 1: much money is in the trust?
Speaker 5: Mary, there's not a lot that's less at this point,
Speaker 5: less than three hundred.
Speaker 1: Thousand, okay? How much was in the trust before you
Speaker 1: were Have you dispersed any of the trust?
Speaker 5: No? None?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 1: Three hundred or so. Three hundred thousand divided by twenty
Speaker 1: people is not a lot of money. You're right. Who leaves?
Speaker 1: Who leaves twenty beneficiaries? Yeah, you want to tell me
Speaker 1: a little bit about that, because I've you know, I've
Speaker 1: answered a lot of trust questions in my life, and
Speaker 1: I mean, there are trusts that do leave that much
Speaker 1: money to twenty different beneficiaries, but they're insanely complicated. There
Speaker 1: are children, there are grandchildren, there are charities involved, there
Speaker 1: are accounts involved for education, for the possibility of grandkids
Speaker 1: having kids. Other than that, who is it that leaves
Speaker 1: twenty twenty beneficiaries?
Speaker 5: Three brand it's a mixed family. So one co tristee
Speaker 5: me is from one one side, okay, next family, and
Speaker 5: the other coachristus from the other and then it was
Speaker 5: a living trust that was made you know, quite a
Speaker 5: while ago. Then the two creators just died very very quickly,
Speaker 5: very soon, you know, two months away from each other,
Speaker 5: earlier this year. And so this trust had the children,
Speaker 5: it had generational tears in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that'll do it. That's interesting. And for a
Speaker 1: beneficiary to get that little money, it wasn't even worth
Speaker 1: killing the trust doors the people that set up the trust. No, no,
Speaker 1: it wasn't because there's not enough money yet. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: get it, all right. Oh yeah, it's a heartbreaker, isn't it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: very nice, I know. All right. Before I get out
Speaker 1: of here or we take a break, let me tell
Speaker 1: you about a car accident which I'm going to have.
Speaker 1: By the way, Michelle, who I'm trying to get hold of,
Speaker 1: I don't know she's around anymore or has a car
Speaker 1: accident question. And uh, what I'm gonna do is, assuming
Speaker 1: that there was a fairly serious injury it wasn't her fault,
Speaker 1: then I'm going to suggest going to handle on the
Speaker 1: law dot com for an attorney. One of the things
Speaker 1: about handling the law dot com personal injury lawyers, and
Speaker 1: this is what it's about, are There are so many
Speaker 1: lawyers out there. I mean there's you go to the
Speaker 1: five Freeway and within a quarter of a mile there
Speaker 1: are a dozen billboards for a dozen different personal injury lawyers.
Speaker 1: You hear them on radio and TV and print. So
Speaker 1: how do you know which one is the trust? Some
Speaker 1: of them are very good and some of them not.
Speaker 1: So let me suggest going to handle on the law
Speaker 1: dot com for a personal injury lawyer. Why these are
Speaker 1: vetted lawyers. If there is an issue with the lawyer,
Speaker 1: I'm the one that makes the phone call to that
Speaker 1: lawyer and go what the hell is going on? And
Speaker 1: I've done that a couple of times. So if you
Speaker 1: have been injured slip and fall, I say, you go
Speaker 1: to a big box store and a big box falls
Speaker 1: on your head where you've been t boned or a
Speaker 1: rear ender and you're hurt, let me suggest contacting the
Speaker 1: lawyers at handle on the law dot Com. Handle on

Speaker 3: You're listening to bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 3: six forty.
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty bill Handle here on a Saturday morning,
Speaker 1: half an hour ago, and we are done for the
Speaker 1: week and following our show, this show, how do always
Speaker 1: say hours like it's following my show? Now, it's like
Speaker 1: the royal We we are not amused, No, you are
Speaker 1: not amused anyway, following this show. In half an hour
Speaker 1: it's Rich Demurrow with a tech show, and two o'clock
Speaker 1: it's Neil Savagor with a fork Report. And our phone
Speaker 1: number is eight hundred and five to two zero one
Speaker 1: five three four. We only have half an hour to go,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna say to jump in eight hundred and
Speaker 1: five two zero one five three four and welcome back
Speaker 1: to handle on the law marginal legal advice, Yo, Michelle,
Speaker 1: let's see if we have you this time. Hello Michelle,
Speaker 1: there you are, Yes, ma'am. What can I do for you? Yes?
Speaker 7: So I got t boned by this twenty one year
Speaker 7: old who was not insured, who was driving his parents car.
Speaker 7: Can I go after the appearance?
Speaker 1: Yeah? You go after Yeah, I mean it's the insurance
Speaker 1: is on the car, So yeah, you can go after
Speaker 1: the owner. Usually it's the driver of the car, but
Speaker 1: if they're the registered owner, you can go after the
Speaker 1: registered owner of the car. I think there's some limitation
Speaker 1: as to how much you can go for but also
Speaker 1: more importantly, let's talk about your insurance, because there's no
Speaker 1: insurance on the other side, right, Oh, do you have uninsured?
Speaker 1: Underinsured insurance? Comprehensive? Let me ask you this on your car?
Speaker 7: Yes, so I have the full coverage where it covers.
Speaker 1: Okay, then you go, what you do?
Speaker 7: Is you you uh an insured?
Speaker 1: Well, you do comprehensive covers uninsured. I mean if you
Speaker 1: look at your policy, if.
Speaker 7: You separately, it's separate. I guess I was supposed to
Speaker 7: the uninsured was isn't added? Oh?
Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah? Oh that's a good lesson, isn't it. Uh
Speaker 1: you are a very good example of why you should
Speaker 1: because sure you are having been insured. And if you're
Speaker 1: really banged and there's a limitation because uh your driver
Speaker 1: was uninsured or was it an uninsured vehicle, you're kind
Speaker 1: of out of luck for the most part.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Neil hi, neil hi.
Speaker 3: Bill.
Speaker 8: I have co trustee on my deceased parents, uh trust
Speaker 8: and executor of their will. A year ago they passed
Speaker 8: and I notified a time share that we believe is
Speaker 8: in the trust of their passing and.
Speaker 1: The hold on a second, I have my dogs in
Speaker 1: the studio. We gotta get rid of the dogs and
Speaker 1: hold on all right, get out, get out. So that's
Speaker 1: what happened when you have dogs. I'm in my home
Speaker 1: studio today, and.
Speaker 8: You know what, knowing you have dogs makes me think
Speaker 8: higher of you.
Speaker 1: Oh really? Yeah? Well how about this? They keep on going,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kill them because they don't stop yapping. Then
Speaker 1: you won't think so highly of me. Okay, So back
Speaker 1: to your story. You are a co trustee.
Speaker 8: My parents passed. They had a time share that we
Speaker 8: believe is in the trust, although I've been unable to
Speaker 8: find the warranted This was a year ago that they passed.
Speaker 8: I notified the time share of their passing and that
Speaker 8: the trust was intending to surrender the asset. Because none
Speaker 8: of the beneficiaries wished to assume the cost of the
Speaker 8: time share, they never acknowledged it. A year has passed,
Speaker 8: they sent, you know, another bill for the maintenance fees.
Speaker 8: I again sent them a certified letter saying they've passed,
Speaker 8: we intend to surrender the estate. So the specific question
Speaker 8: is the statute of limitations. Does it start when I
Speaker 8: sent them the first letter? Noticably, no, it stopped.
Speaker 1: It starts when the last payment was made.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 1: It starts with so if a payment is made, for example,
Speaker 1: June first, two thousand, well June first or June second,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, or that they go again twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: You know, I've got to close the door on these guys.
Speaker 1: They something's going on and maybe there's a burglar or
Speaker 1: something and the lock and the lock is broken. So anyway,
Speaker 1: it's four years from the time you breach the contract,
Speaker 1: and the breach happens when the last amount of money
Speaker 1: was due, and that makes it. It's at that point
Speaker 1: that the statute runs when there's a breach. So June first,
Speaker 1: the money is gold. You don't pay it four years
Speaker 1: from there, now go ahead, okay.
Speaker 8: Second question is can they keep billing in perpetuity up
Speaker 8: to four years? Yeah, meaning.
Speaker 1: Right, they can keep They can keep billing for the
Speaker 1: rest of your life. The issue is can they sue?
Speaker 1: And the statute of limitation is the amount of time
Speaker 1: that they have the ability to sue. Now they can
Speaker 1: argue that you owe the money, which you do. I
Speaker 1: mean to trust the money forever. It's almost impossible to
Speaker 1: get out of timeshare. They're really difficult because they really
Speaker 1: are in perpetuity. I mean, it's when they sell them
Speaker 1: to you. It's, uh, well, you're gonna inherit, and this
Speaker 1: is good forever, and your your airs are gonna get it,
Speaker 1: and this is a wonderful thing. You ever been to
Speaker 1: a timeshare? Have you ever been to one of these
Speaker 1: meetings that they have where they try to sell you
Speaker 1: a timeshare?
Speaker 8: I avoided that at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding, I have been. I literally have been
Speaker 1: to one just to see what it was like. I
Speaker 1: have never seen pressure like that in my life. Never
Speaker 1: ever have I ever seen pressure. They won't give you
Speaker 1: the contract. They will not give you a contract, so
Speaker 1: you know you want to buy it. It's X number
Speaker 1: of dollars and it's good forever, and you get extra
Speaker 1: points and if you buy it today, you'll get an
Speaker 1: extra trip to Disneyland. I mean all the pressure. I say, well,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. Well let me let me see the contract.
Speaker 1: I'm a lawyer and I'd like to see what I'm
Speaker 1: signing up for for the rest of my life. Oh no,
Speaker 1: we don't show you the contract. No no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we just ask you to sign the letter of intent,
Speaker 1: leaving out all the all the numbers. It's just insanity.
Speaker 1: So anyway, you let them know that your dad's dead,
Speaker 1: that's all, and then they keep they'll build the estate.
Speaker 1: But if there's no money left in the estate, I
Speaker 1: don't know where they're going to go. I mean theoretically
Speaker 1: they're going to argue you should keep the estate going
Speaker 1: forever in order to pay them, but no one does
Speaker 1: that when you have dead people. You have dead people,
Speaker 1: and just let them know.
Speaker 8: That was the last part of my question. Is can
Speaker 8: I move to dissolve the trust with this outstanding?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so. I think, well, well, once all the
Speaker 1: money is distributed, it doesn't matter if the trust is
Speaker 1: an effect or not.
Speaker 8: There's no money, there's no money in the trust liable?
Speaker 8: Can I be held as co trustee? Can I be
Speaker 8: held liable for closing?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. No, No, I don't think you
Speaker 1: can be No. I think here, I think you're gonna
Speaker 1: be Okay, just where where's this uh? This time share by.
Speaker 8: The way, Uh it is in California, Southern California.
Speaker 1: Okay, And uh where are and how many properties do
Speaker 1: they have? Do you know?
Speaker 8: Do you have any idea just just the one time share?
Speaker 8: All the other properties have been sold? And everything is settled.
Speaker 8: Except for this time share issue.
Speaker 5: It went very smoothly.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, now you're dealing with the timeshare, and I mean,
Speaker 1: good luck, because time shares are literally, uh that crazy
Speaker 1: for sure. I've always had a tough time with the timeshare.
Speaker 1: The only thing that is legitimate is if you go
Speaker 1: to one of these timeshare presentations and they say, and
Speaker 1: we're going to give you three days in Las Vegas,
Speaker 1: they actually do give you three days in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: Now where they put you up in Vegas is a
Speaker 1: whole different animal. You're not going to a very good property,
Speaker 1: and I hope you like looking at dumpsters as a
Speaker 1: view from your room. But they do put you up.
Speaker 1: I've never seen them not come through. It's I'm not
Speaker 1: a big fan of the timeshares. The only ones that
Speaker 1: are really worth anything are the Disney time shares. Those
Speaker 1: are worth some real money because otherwise, try to sell
Speaker 1: a timeshare to anybody, no one will buy it. No
Speaker 1: one try to give it back to them, and they
Speaker 1: won't do it. I mean, there are specialists that deal
Speaker 1: with getting out of time shares, but man, it is
Speaker 1: really tricky stuff. It is not easy at all. Phone
Speaker 1: number eight hundred five two zero one five three four.
Speaker 1: We have one segment left, So if you would like
Speaker 1: an answer to your marginal legal question, I'm going to
Speaker 1: suggest you dive in right now. Eight hundred five two
Speaker 1: zero one five three four. This is Handle on the Law. Hi,

Speaker 1: an answer, a good answer, probably not. Eight hundred and
Speaker 1: five two zero one five three four. Welcome back, Handle
Speaker 1: on the Law, Hello, Josh, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Hey, Bill Sow. A couple of years ago, I was
Speaker 3: put into an induced coma when I was when I
Speaker 3: awoke from the coma, I didn't know where I was.
Speaker 3: I tried to get up and go. You know, they
Speaker 3: put me down. What they wound up doing is they
Speaker 3: tied me to the bed for days on end, and
Speaker 3: it was totally like it for the last My wife
Speaker 3: would come and visit me. They wouldn't, they wouldn't, you know,
Speaker 3: the zip ties on the things.
Speaker 5: Fast forward.
Speaker 3: You know, this was about two and a half almost
Speaker 3: three years ago, fast. This last year, it's really really
Speaker 3: been bothering me. I can't sleep because of itching. As
Speaker 3: soon as I fall asleep, I wake up and I'm
Speaker 3: itchy because it's that being strapped down in my hands.
Speaker 3: It messed me up and I can't. I go to
Speaker 3: sleep at like nine o'clock, I sleeped for like two hours.
Speaker 3: I'm up for the rest of the night. And it's
Speaker 3: been bothering the you know, the.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do I have a case? Okay? First of all
Speaker 1: I want to ask is have they given you any
Speaker 1: reason for strapping you down? Well? Were you in a hospital?
Speaker 1: Let's start with that. Were you in the hospital? Yes, okay, Yes,
Speaker 1: I needs in hospital, okay. And you were injured to
Speaker 1: the point where you were an induced coma. I mean
Speaker 1: that's pretty serious stuff. Why were you in an induced coma?
Speaker 3: They say, I thought I had COVID when I went in.
Speaker 3: They said it was walking pneumonia, so that once it
Speaker 3: came out of the cola, you know, I was I
Speaker 3: was totally fine, you know, like a lucid. I could
Speaker 3: understand everything.
Speaker 1: And they still kept you ty and they still kept
Speaker 1: it tied.
Speaker 3: Down after days on end.
Speaker 1: Today, I'm assuming, uh.
Speaker 3: The best Let me just see you. The best part
Speaker 3: they wouldn't let me go to the bathroom. I could
Speaker 3: hear them right outside, you know, I'm telling them I
Speaker 3: have to go, right they were just sit there laughing,
Speaker 3: you know. And I went up, you know all myself.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is a this is a major hospital. You
Speaker 1: don't don't mention names, but it's a major medical facility. Yes, sir, Wow, okay,
Speaker 1: and I'm assuming, uh, you were tied down against your will?
Speaker 3: Correct very much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I asked that.
Speaker 3: I used to pay.
Speaker 1: I used to pay. Yeah, I used to pay big
Speaker 1: money to have that happen to me. So, uh, that's
Speaker 1: why I asked that question. Yeah, I mean, that doesn't
Speaker 1: make a whole lot of sense. And but you have witnesses,
Speaker 1: uh that were there that said they wouldn't let you
Speaker 1: out of bed.
Speaker 3: Yes, my wife would come and visit me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I got I gotta tell you that is
Speaker 1: so egregious. I mean, you know, base on what you said,
Speaker 1: I would love to know what their defense is that
Speaker 1: you were in a state where it was medically not
Speaker 1: only it was medically called for, but it was just
Speaker 1: a medical issue that you had to be tied down,
Speaker 1: which I don't understand why. I mean, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: when people are you know, for example, they're in a
Speaker 1: bad a bad LSD trip or incoherent or somehow thrashing around,
Speaker 1: you can see why they would tie you down for
Speaker 1: your own for your own safety. I don't know what
Speaker 1: happened on this one doesn't make any sense. The only
Speaker 1: issue is, okay, just happened. You still within the statute.
Speaker 1: I think it's either two years or tie years.
Speaker 3: It's a statute three years from the statute from the
Speaker 3: date of going to the hospital. And you know this
Speaker 3: problems really only occurred over the last year.
Speaker 1: As far as yeah, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: You're still with their statute. Okay, you definitely want a
Speaker 1: personal injury lawyer or a medical malpractice lawyer because this
Speaker 1: is so egregious, It makes so little sense, It is
Speaker 1: so outrageous that for the life of me, I mean,
Speaker 1: where are they going with this? Yeah, so anyway, go
Speaker 1: to handle on the law dot com, go to the website.
Speaker 1: And if they don't have lawyers, because this is a malpart,
Speaker 1: you want someone who has malpractice experience against facilities, and
Speaker 1: there are lawyers that have a lot of experience so
Speaker 1: go to the website, go to handle on the law
Speaker 1: dot com and see, uh if they can help you,
Speaker 1: which I think they probably can't.
Speaker 3: They on the weekend, wait till Monday.
Speaker 1: No, you can probably call. They'll probably call now. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, that's uh wow, that is such a crazy case.
Speaker 1: I've had some really weird cases for sure. Uh Joe,
Speaker 1: Hi Joe, welcome.
Speaker 6: Good morning, sir, Yes, sir, goodness. I'm almost embarrassed to
Speaker 6: say anything after that. But if you have an ongoing
Speaker 6: workers compensation for getting physically attacked severe injuries including broken
Speaker 6: bones and uh possibility of uh fitteen sixty to seventy
Speaker 6: percent permanent disability.
Speaker 1: All right, so you already where's that you already have?
Speaker 1: It's it's been determined that you have a sixty or
Speaker 1: seventy percent disability, right, permanent disability. It's been that has
Speaker 1: been adjudicated. Is that correct?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: No, okay, got it. So you're right now you're on
Speaker 1: temporary disability absolutely, Okay, So what's what's your question.
Speaker 6: Is would it effect on permanent disability? I gets sixty
Speaker 6: to seventy percent if I want to get a job, Yeah, if.
Speaker 1: You bet, it will. Oh you bet it will, and
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. Because the disability said I am
Speaker 1: unable to get a job to the point of its
Speaker 1: seventy percent, and so seventy percent I can't get jobs
Speaker 1: and done and then you go out and get a job.
Speaker 1: Happens all the time where people once is determined that
Speaker 1: you are disabled. Uh, and to whatever extent you're free,
Speaker 1: you're done unless you've committed unless you've committed fraud. Then
Speaker 1: then they come back and really nail you.
Speaker 6: But uh, all right, go ahead, I apologize, I mean
Speaker 6: I meant you, but but no, no, that is what
Speaker 6: the state do. Their doctors are saying that I'm disabled.
Speaker 1: I know, good, then get and good? Then get Okay. Well,
Speaker 1: if you can't work and you're going to get you know,
Speaker 1: you want permanent disability. I'm assuming you have a worker's
Speaker 1: comp attorney on this, right, Joe?
Speaker 6: Absolutely? Yeah, Oh, absolutely, okay, then you're then you're good.
Speaker 1: Well you can get a different one, Joe, you can
Speaker 1: get a different one. Of course, the lawyer works for
Speaker 1: you. You can say I don't want you to do it anymore,
Speaker 1: go to another work comp lawyer and just take it over.
Speaker 1: Sure you know Mary there, you know there slavery is
Speaker 1: not allowed in this state, particularly California, probably pretty much
Speaker 1: for the rest of the country. I think the fourteenth
Speaker 1: Amendment dealt with that. But the bottom line is you
Speaker 1: can always fire a lawyer. Yeah, you can get another one. No,
Speaker 1: it doesn't cont No. No, you on disability and workers
Speaker 1: comp You don't pay for it. It's paid for by
Speaker 1: the state, and then it's and then they get it
Speaker 1: on top of So let's say you get seven hundred
Speaker 1: bucks a month or twelve hundred dollars a month disability
Speaker 1: that the lawyer's fees are paid for by the state.
Speaker 1: It doesn't cost you any more money. You're gonna be
Speaker 1: absolutely fine. All right, before we bail, a quick word
Speaker 1: about your bad breath. Now, do I know you have
Speaker 1: your breath bad breath?
Speaker 2: Na?
Speaker 1: You probably don't because you never go to sleep awake up.
Speaker 1: Do you have morning breath where you don't drink coffee? Well,
Speaker 1: I do. And you never eat foods that are spicy.
Speaker 1: All you eat is bland food, mainly dog food, which
Speaker 1: has no spice at all. Well, let me tell you
Speaker 1: eat garlic and onions and spicy food. I mean, obviously,
Speaker 1: the bad breath happens in your mouth, but then you're
Speaker 1: it's still garlic and onions that go down in your stomach,
Speaker 1: and that causes a lot of bad breath right from
Speaker 1: your stomach, and a lot of people don't know that.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you about Zelman's. Zelman's Mintymouth far
Speaker 1: more than a mint, because it takes care of the mouthpart.
Speaker 1: It's a little capsule that has a nice strong minty
Speaker 1: coating new flavor spearmint, by the way, And not only
Speaker 1: does it work in your mouth, but then you swallow
Speaker 1: it or bite into it when the mint part is finished,
Speaker 1: and it goes to work in your gut, in your stomach,
Speaker 1: and it's hours and hours of fresh, clean breath so
Speaker 1: you don't smell like the wrong end of a rhinoceros
Speaker 1: in heat. Zelmons, you can't get it at Walmart, you
Speaker 1: can't get it at Costco, or you can't get it
Speaker 1: at Smart and Final. But you can get it on
