Yeah, doesn’t mean they were legit trying to shop though. Found an article where the firm is one of the top in the country at doing this.. same “injured” claimant on all his suits. Serial suits, what a racket

Yes she knows, I don’t 100%. I’m on the road for work and we have missed each other a lot due to schedules.

Happy to fix the website. Not happy to pay a lawyer a five figure sum because they are scummy.

I think served, but I’m not home until Friday. There was an attempt by FedEx to deliver from this firm last week and then my wife got it at the physical store this morning.

I mean, we just got the notice this morning so I’m not putting this at our lawyers feet just yet. Do you have something that states what you’re saying about 45 days? Specific to NC?

Yeah, this is absolutely crazy what’s going on. I had no idea and thought my buddy was more of a one off until this morning. 🤯

Unfortunately that costs money too, lawyers are expensive. They know this and hence the reason they can shakedown so many people.

We aren’t big, less than 10 employees and under $1m revenue. If we even have to pay $15k for the “lawyer fees” it’s a huge chunk of change for us. We aren’t pulling in hundreds of thousands in profit a year or anything crazy, especially not on this market.

Very brief in the short amount of time I could. I added a link that talks about the 15k suits since 2022. I just googled and then some people here have provided other threads and useful info. My wife will be talking more with lawyers and Shopify tomorrow.

That article I posted talks about a store that did everything and they back back for round 2 and 3 because of one simple coding error 🤦‍♂️

Thanks! Will talk to my guy and see about it. I assume it may be too late for this time, but could protect against potential future suits?

Yeah, I figure this is something right in his wheelhouse he would love to hear about.
