It's the DuPlessis decision that applies since you have no lease. Though Dix is the basis for DuPlessis.

I suggest just sending the DuPlessis decision to the lawyer. There's enough in there about Dix and he is fully capable of looking it up.

Believe me the attorney already knows about that decision. What you would be letting the attorney know, is that you ALSO know about that decision.

OK,is how they figure negligence going to be a problem ? And if they already know why would they pursue it then?

You have nothing to lose. Besides, the decision is very clear.

OK,is how they figure negligence going to be a problem ? And if they already know why would they pursue it then?
Because for the amount of money involved all they need is an allegation and fear to get the victim to agree to payments. Until they file a lawsuit, they don't have to prove anything.

Also do I need to get a lawyer for this?
Couldn't hurt. But at this point, take a shot without one and see how it goes. You won't be any worse off if you need one later.

OK,um how much money would getting a atterney run for something like this,a ballpark figure
Liability defense lawyers charge about $300 per hour. It could run into many thousands if it goes to trial.

Right now I think you are over thinking this. Send a copy of the DuPressis decision to the attorney without comment. Then wait and see what happens.

Feel free to come back to this thread and report the results.
