Contracts part 2
Thursday, May 13th, 2010So there we have it–Offer, Acceptance, and Consideration.
We learned that a minor glitch in one of the 3 elements is not necessarily fatal–that a problem–or BREACH of Contract, has to be a “Material Breach” to make the contract “Voidable.”
Voidable contracts are not worthless on their face–they are “Voidable” meaning one party can legally terminate the contract without legal ramifications. In the absence of termination, the contract remains enforceable. A “Void” contract is different–avoid contract is void on its face and not enforceable. A “Voidable” contract would be a contract to purchase a “Time machine.” If the seller does not produce an actual working Time Machine, the buyer has the right to tell him to buzz off–and not pay him, thus voiding the contract.
A “Void” contract is not enforceable and never was–but in some cases can be in the future. Can you think of any examples? What if you sell your neighbors 12 year old a lawn mower for a grossly inflated price–thrilled that you “Outsmarted the little idiot.” Well, you may be thinking it’s the inflated price that blew the deal–but it’s actually the age of the buyer. Contracts to sell goods to minors are void on their face–Minors are considered legally insane (non compis mentis) and thus unable to enter into a contract.
How in the world could that become enforceable in the future?
Well, if the 12 year old is making payments on the $80,000.00 lawn mower every month like clockwork–when he becomes of age and makes another payment–it becomes an enforceable contract. How screwed up is that?
What if the contract is for sexual services? You have an offer, acceptance and consideration, right? Contracts to purchase illegal goods or services are “Void.” Not Voidable–they are unenforceable because they are illegal. You buy a quarter bag from your neighbor and he sells you Oregano? Call the cops? Hardly. Though I did see one episode of “Cops” where the lady bought a $20.00 rock of crack from a lady who stiffed her. Unbelievable. The contract is not enforceable if the goods or services being purchased are not legal in the first place. So next time you feel like you didn’t get your money’s worth from your, um, escort–leave it alone, my friend…..leave it alone.
I am a Christian and want you to know that we all make ridiculous mistakes–so when I tell these stories I am not condoning that behavior–just telling you whether it’s legal or not. The years I did Criminal Defense work showed me that all of us are fallen, so don’t even THINK about pointing your finger at anyone but yourself. I can’t, and you don’t either.

Whats you leg worth
Thursday, November 19th, 2009A Manhattan jury on Wednesday awarded $27.5 million to a woman who lost her left leg after a New York City Transit bus ran over her while it was turning a corner two blocks from her apartment in 2005.
The woman, Gloria Aguilar, 45, who had to have her leg amputated and has worn a prosthetic leg ever since, cried when the verdict was announced. She then thanked some members of the jury who had heard the nearly seven-week trial in Manhattan Supreme Court, her lawyer, Ben Rubinowitz, said on Thursday.
“I think she feels vindicated,” Mr. Rubinowitz said in a telephone interview. “The transit authority went after her, calling her a liar. The problem that she has, it’s a lifelong injury, and whenever she looks down, she’ll have a constant reminder.”
The lawyer for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, John Woodruff, made a motion to the judge, Paul G. Feinman, immediately after the verdict, arguing that the award to Ms. Aguilar was excessive. But Justice Feinman let the verdict stand, Mr. Rubinowitz said.
The transit agency plans to appeal the verdict, according to Wallace Gossett, a lawyer for the agency who did not try the case. “This is just a jury verdict,” Mr. Gossett said in a brief interview. “The appellate courts won’t sustain a verdict of this magnitude.”
Mr. Gossett pointed out that the jury found Ms. Aguilar negligent for not looking when she crossed the street. But the jury also found, according to Mr. Rubinowitz , that both New York City Transit and the bus driver, Andrew Monaco, had been negligent, and that their negligence was 100 percent responsible for Ms. Aguilar’s injury.
Charles Seaton, a spokesman for the transit agency, said only that the case was being appealed.
In recent months, juries have awarded three other plaintiffs in personal injury cases against New York City Transit a total of about $11 million, but the agency is appealing all of them, Mr. Seaton wrote in an e-mail message.
In the case involving Ms. Aguilar, one of the main issues was whether she had been in or outside the crosswalk when she was hit, at 50th Street and 10th Avenue on Nov. 4, 2005. The transit agency contended that she had walked into the path of the bus.
Mr. Rubinowitz said he had shown how the wheel, with its 40,000 pounds of weight, crushed a portion of Ms. Aguilar’s lower left leg, from just above the ankle to below the knee, although the foot was not damaged. Ms. Aguilar’s leg was amputated at Bellevue Hospital Center.
Two weeks later, Mr. Rubinowitz said, doctors had to perform another operation to amputate her leg to the groin, because of infection. She has been unable to work since then, he said.

Causes of Spinal Cord Injury Accidents
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009Spinal cord injuries all have one thing in common? the spinal cord has been crushed, damaged, and swollen. Below the point of injury, the spinal cord cannot send messages to the brain to control the operation of the body. Accidental spinal cord injuries result primarily from motor vehicle accidents all kinds, but can also occur in accidents involving swimming pool diving accidents, gun shot wounds, aviation accidents, construction site accidents such as those involving scaffolding or cranes, boating and jet ski accidents, and recreational vehicle accidents.
Whatever the cause of the spinal cord injury accident, you deserve compensation for your injuries, your lost income, the medical bills, the cost of rehabilitation, and the expense of durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, and ventilators.
