Who do I sue?

[alchemist]

Sorry, should have clarified....lack of respect from DHL et al. I'm actually suprised at how easygoing people have been on this thread.

I really appreciate the information, I'll probably have more questions as they come up, but I definitely appreciate it.


I think I've finally realized just why I need a prepaid legal plan and why lawyers can make the money some do.

No jock strap here. But if there were, it would be a whopper!

Suing everybody is one solution, but IMO it's overdone. Would you include IBM in it too? My thought was one of strategy--let DHL wriggle and squirm or better yet, make their subcontractor wriggle and squirm. The biggest problem suing everyone is getting everyone to the hearing without one or the other asking for delays. DHL can implead the subcontractor and/or driver if they want to. My best guess, just knowing a little about the company, is that they won't show and the OP will get a default.

Well, if it's going to be filed in small claims instead of the regular division, then who cares if somebody asks for a delay? More than likely, the only reason they're asking for a delay is to all get on a conference call and say, "Look dudes, Bob will pay $500, Phil will pay $250, and I'll pay $250. We'll all file claims with our insurance carriers, and we'll all have to be responsible for all of the deductibles. It just ain't worth the time to screw around with this BS."

And yes, "dude" is a legal term. Black's Law Dictionary, 8th Edition. Look it up.
