Lawsuit filed against Rem, Taurus, for 41 Rem Mag ammo, etc.... - 03/23/16 10:23 PM

Let me first state, my ammunition is not the ammo used in this case!!

Here's what I've been dealing with the last 3 weeks. I got served from a process server saying my company, Custom Reloads of Dallas, Inc, has been named in a federal lawsuit, along with 6 branches of Taurus and Remington Arms. It is filed in the Eastern District of Michigan. I read the suit to get the details. The details are a man in Michigan bought some 41 Rem Mag ammo through Ammo to Go (who I do not distribute through), fired the ammo in his Taurus revolver, and it blew up in his hands. This happened in Sept of 2013. The Plaintiff's attorney is claiming bodily injury, temporary and permanent injury, lost wages, mental anguish, scaring, etc... the hole kitchen sink. I speak to the the Plaintiff's attorney, and he doesn't know a thing about guns or ammo. I find out that the ammo used was in a zip lock bag with "D.R.S. 41 Rem Mag, 200 grain" on it. I inform the attorney that this is not my ammo and do not sell through Ammo to Go, which he thinks I'm full of [censored] and he's heard this before. After a long talk and showing him some internet links, he starts to come around to realizing his mistake. I ask for him to remove me from the case, and send me a letter showing I am not the proper defendant. (After discussion with him, he is suing Remington Arms simply because the caliber used was 41 Remington Magnum!!)

Fast forward 2 weeks, and he will not remove me from the case. He sends me a total BS letter that states they are not sure who the proper defendants are in this case, and they will not default anyone until they determine who the proper defendants are in this case. But, once you are served, you have 21 days to respond. If you do NOT respond, they can come after you for not responding, and you are on the hook in the case, whether it was your company or not that produced the ammo. So, I MUST file a response. To file, I have to hire an attorney with a retainer of $5K, just to get started. My attorney speaks to the plaintiff's attorney, and today, I get the letter I've been waiting for saying that he will not default on me and will begin the process of removing me from the case. I didn't trust the slime bag plaintiff's attorney further than I can throw him.

What I don't understand in all this "law" stuff, is how in the heck can a lawyer file suit against someone or a company without knowing who they are suing. He literally told me over the phone and in his cheesy letter, that said he was not sure who the proper defendants are in this case yet. Wouldn't you do your homework on this before you just file all kinds of suits and at least get the correct companies!!?? I will never understand this! The next thing is that he is suing Remington because the caliber was "41 Remington Magnum". I told the attorney he should sue 41 also. I can't make this stuff up!!!

This is the 3rd time my company has been confused with D.R.S., and this one is the worst. I'll let you guys figure out who D.R.S. is. I'm seriously thinking about changing my company name now. But, I know who is about to get served now!

That's just messed up that they can file frivolous law suits like that. I am all for and support their ability to file lawsuits toward the correct parties when something really happens - but stuff like this sits in my craw. Assuming he didn't do something to cause the catastrophic failure himself (obstructed barrel for instance) in which case NO one is at fault other than his own damn stupid self..the fault lies with only the gun or the ammo (not both). I bet they never even had an investigation done to see which it was (probably would have stopped pretty soon with the plugged up barrel is why)...our society is so screwed up it ain't funny...lawyers like that who file against anyone and everyone because they just can need to go hunting with Dick friggin Chenny damnit...

Did you ask your attorney about counter suing?

Re: Lawsuit filed against Rem, Taurus, for 41 Rem Mag ammo, etc.... - 03/23/16 10:55 PM

Can you counter sue them for the frivolous law suit which cost you $5,000.00? That sucks man, and I'm sure it happens daily to many unsuspecting people that don't know any better but to settle with them.

That's like a drunk saying he's going to sue his teacher and the education system because they didn't teach him his ABC's backwards which lead to him being found guilty of DWI. No fault of his own, it has to be everybody else's

Re: Lawsuit filed against Rem, Taurus, for 41 Rem Mag ammo, etc.... - 03/23/16 11:02 PM

Can you counter sue, sure. But, I would have to file myself, and tie it up in the courts, and could still easily lose. I asked my attorney to ask to cover my costs by the plaintiff, but it's a slim chance. But I have been advised by my attorney and a good friend of mine who is an attorney that this is simply the cost of doing business.

Re: Lawsuit filed against Rem, Taurus, for 41 Rem Mag ammo, etc.... - 03/23/16 11:36 PM

This is so disappointing that any attorney can file without doing any research as to who the proper defendants are. I would think you could contact the AG of the state where he holds his law license and file a complaint. It may not make any difference but this lawyer is clearly a loose cannon.

This is one reason I have the lowest of opinions of lawyers in general. No interest in real justice, or what's right, moral, ethical, or just plain fair. Bottomfeeders is what they are.

Posted By: jeffbird

Re: Lawsuit filed against Rem, Taurus, for 41 Rem Mag ammo, etc.... - 03/24/16 03:31 PM

Guys,
corporations and businesses have lots of similar names, strikingly similar. Often - usually - identifying the responsible business entity is not possible initially. Pleadings in federal court require permission from the court to change. So lawyers name the business entities that are the likely culprit. The wrong entities let them know in a hurry, and are dismissed as happened here.

The facts stated are not a frivilous suit. Having a gun blowup in hand is serious. If a gun blew your wife or kid's hand off, everyone of you would be on the war path and rightly so.

There is no basis for a "countersuit." It was distracting, but is done. Keeping a suit going would be more expensive and more distracting. This is why insurance exists. If a suit is filed, the insurance company handles it and pays the legal bills.

In my opinion, Taurus is junk. They have a track record of problems. This ammo manufacturer sounds questionable if this is the third time Chad has received a suit against them. Also, that points out others are experiencing name confusion as well.

Having said that, the lawyer apparently does not understand firearms. But with the current political dialogue, there are groups in the background such Bloomberg funding these attacks.

Everyone needs to support the NRA, TSRA, and GOA with financial support.

The man just start throwing accusations around at different entities without even determining who they are first? And that's supposed to be excused?? This is costing people money (which ends up in OTHER LAWYERS' pockets, no less) and we're flippantly told this is just a cost of doing business?? Unacceptable!! Its extortion and economic terrorism and it's about time to start crackin' some heads!

I'm sue on some Internet forum, somebody who doesn't know what they are talking about, much like that guys lawyer, is bashing Chad's company because he saw it in a law suit.

Crappy lawyer slinging crap at a wall to see if anything sticks. Knows Chad's not involved but won't remove him? Remington is included just because their name's on the case? Scheister for sure.

Good luck with it, Chad, I hope it doesn't cost you too much. A Google check shows that NotTheOtherGuy'sReloads might be an available name.
Posted By: jeffbird

Re: Lawsuit filed against Rem, Taurus, for 41 Rem Mag ammo, etc.... - 03/24/16 07:30 PM

Guys,
I am not bashing Chad, I am in support of him and have volunteered to help him. He may have a case against the DRS company for casting an ill light on his reputatition. Companies are identified through secretary of state records. DRS selling ammo and Dallas Reloading could easily be viewed as different names for the same company. That it has happened three times suggests that is an issue.

Carry on.

Re: Lawsuit filed against Rem, Taurus, for 41 Rem Mag ammo, etc.... - 03/24/16 07:51 PM

Jeffbird...based on that, I'd surmise that you are a lawyer yourself. I meant every word I've said about the legal profession. I can see how you might take it personally, but it's not meant as a personal attack and especially not against anyone I've never met face to face.

I wish the legal profession would police itself much better than it has. That's something that is long overdue.

Kudos to you for giving Chad a hand with the situation.

Had a good buddy get an email from an attorney down by the coast saying his client was suing him for the drunk driver who hit him being in his company's truck. Turns out it was a different company with a similar name.

The crazy part was they gave him the make model and color of the truck, which was the exact same thing he was letting me borrow at the time while mine was down. For a short period he was convinced I had borrowed his pickup, roadtripped to the coast, then got hammered and slammed into somebody without telling him.

Casually filing filling a lawsuit against parties that you indeed know have nothing to do with your situation is the definition of frivolous to me. Chad wasn't the ammo maker in question - and when presented with evidence to back that up the shyster did not remove him as a defendant. Remington did nothing wrong other than putting their name on the case. Maybe the lawyer in question should next file a class action lawsuit against Winchester and Colt on the part of every American Indian.

I'm no lawyer but I find it hard to believe you wouldn't be able to get some sort of satisfaction against the lawyer, he already admitted he launched the suit without determining if it was you. Chris

Chad - sorry to hear you got dragged into that mess - been there...
(different situation- but career wrecking nonetheless), so I know exactly how it feels.

Yup - you (or anybody) can get named in a lawsuit for anything; costs money (lots) to get out of that 'hole' most times, EVEN IF NO WAY now how involved ( YES, you get to pay $5k + to PROVE you should be dropped from the suit- ignore it and you're AUTOMATICALLY 'guilty'!!).

You need DEEP pockets to CounterSue against frivolous suit . . .

Too close to Bullseye Range and Guns in Duncanville. Could get into the same problems the dallasreloads domain and Dallas Reloading created. Needs to have no similarity to any other company in the area.

I have seen more than once on the forum where outfitters had similar names or acronyms causing the wrong one to catch blame on things posted.

Re: Lawsuit filed against Rem, Taurus, for 41 Rem Mag ammo, etc.... - 03/27/16 05:06 AM

Unfortunately, it's a whole lot cheaper to file suit vs defending a suit. Standard practice is to file against anyone with a connection and then figure out who's guilty.

I agree with the previous comment about insurance being your answer, particularly with a group policy type of an arrangement offered via a trade organization, like the NRA. Generally, if you need to make a claim for something similar, you can expect the insurance company to then jump in to get the equivalent of what they had to pay out to you, plus... from the plaintiff.

I don't believe I would change my name, but I would definitely investigate the insurance option.

Good luck,
Charlie

Just for the sake of curiosity, I just did a quick search with google.

There are three companies with similar names in the same geographic area and same area code.

Seems like a distinctive name would help avoid some of these problems in the future.

Had a high school buddy that got into making ladder stands for deer hunting. It's a company name you would remember. He made tons of money and had a good product. BUT a guy that was admittedly blind drunk fell out of one of the stands his company produced and sued him for big bucks. After settling out of court, he shut down the business.

Heck, I know a woman that sues folks all the time over nothing. She settles out of court and goes on to the next make-believe law suit. I worked with her for years, but no way would I ever let her on our property. Who can ya trust these days?

Sucks man. On of the scariest things when I had a home inspection business. It sucks for the small man sometimes just trying to make it.
I hate it to when people say it's the cost of doing business. B S
