July Muni Payout: $58,437.75

Muni continues to put food on lawyers' tables: we're up to $538,686.33 in claims since February. The big case this month was settled for about $40,000, but we can't look up the details because it's unlitigated. The other two cases seem unremarkable -- fourteen thousand, also unlitigated, and six thousand for a bus driver whose driving knocked a disabled person off her feet.

But can we just say -- what is up with the law offices of Aspelin and Brigman? Not only does their initial complaint misspell their client's name, but it contains weird run-on sentences and grammatical gems such as "As a result Plaintiff fall." Did they hire Caveman Lawyer?

ugh. reading this just makes me so upset. two years ago, a bus rear-ended my jeep on van ness, but because there was significantly more damage to the bus than my car (none), i listened to the inspector who said that MUNI will bury me in paperwork for years, and since i wasn't injured, nothing would come from legal action. the driver didn't even apologize for plowing into my car.
