I came across this article from my good friend Sammy (may he rest in peace) and thought I'd share it with you before calling it a night. You can also call this article as Lawyer Karma but I think the focus should be on the Insurance Company and how it is next to impossible to put one over them. Hope you have fun reading this.

The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: that the man had consumed the cigars in the
normal fashion. The lawyer sued........and won! In delivering the ruling the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The Judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be "unacceptable fire", and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000.00 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the "fires".
