• "Ask - Referral Services"

  Mike Damaso | January 20, 2008 9:49 AM | 0 CommentsOrlando, FL

  "1-800-Ask-Gary." "Ask-Dave." "Ask-Kobe." It seems that more and more TV commercials for these lawyer referral services are becoming commonplace. But, who is behind these services? Dave, Gary, and Kobe do not appear in their own commercials. Usually, the commercials are composed of testimonials given by people who claim to have been injured, and then called these numbers, and everything was...

• Emotional Distress - Florida's Impact Rule

  Bob Carroll | March 12, 2006 7:42 AM | 0 CommentsTampa Bay, FL

  There are times when someone's negligent act can cause significant emotional distress to another even though the distressed person has not, himself, been physically injured. The tragedy of watching your young child being injured by a car carelessly backed onto a sidewalk comes to mind. Should our system of justice permit a claim for compensation in these situations? From the Benjo Blog we have...

• You Can ASK GARY...Or, You Could ASK KOBY, ASK JERY Or Even ASK DAVE

  Three years of television commercials throughout Tampa Bay telling us to call ASK GART when we are injured have spawned some copycats. Suddenly, there are commercials reminding us that we should ASK-KOBY or ASK-JERY or even ASK-DAVE. So, who's a person to ASK?GARY thinks all this ASKing is confusing to injured people so he has gone to court to block KOBY and JERY. The Tampa Tribune carries...
