He still has a Ferrari as of a year ago. I saw him out at John Tune Airport one morning and he got out of a black Ferrari and caught a helicopter ride to who knows where.

You don't pay taxes on personal injury settlements. I was hit by a hit and run driver who was caught not long afterwards because a witness on a motorcycle followed her and call the police to where she was hiding. I was very lucky because there were a lot of witness who stopped to help and talk to the police. No taxes, I'm not broke but I'm still angry about how badly my sister was injuried. BD wasn't my attorney nor hers. |

I should clarify my snide remark I made earlier...I think personal injury lawyers serve a good purpose for society. However, I think we can all agree that we're an overly sue-happy society. Part of that, no doubt, is fueled by a notion of "get rich quick" type settlements that may not be entirely true.
Rainna, I'm glad you received compensation. Sounds like you deserved it.

Unless the settlement is made for punitive or exemplary damages. Which is what BD goes for (and thusly) the people in the commercials. |

He looks like a corpse! His skin looks like it's pulled on over his head!

Indeed, he does look rather...waxen. Probably too much makeup and too many facelifts.
He and his commercials have provided my family with hours of entertainment over the years.  |

She's gained some weight and some years. Gone from an 8 to a 6 or a Malibu 5.
I know something about Reggie Miller but I never heard that rumor. Reggie lives in Malibu near me and I used to see him at the Malibu Gym from time to time. His trainer is a really nice guy.
He once followed a pretty girl to my house and pulled over in my driveway to say hello to her. 
I don't think they ever went out. He was driving the big twelve cylinder BMW sedan.
He has a good reputation in Southern California. |
