We had a lawyer stay with us a couple of weekends ago. He was very friendly and easy to talk with, and knew all the lawyer jokes.
He said he is a tort lawyer or plaintiff’s attorney, who files class action lawsuits against big corporations. He said his firm is working on a class-action Ambien lawsuit, against the company that makes that sleeping pill. I do not know if it’s true or not, but he said that Ambien can cause sleep disturbances, including sleep driving.
Sleep driving?? He said that some people, after they have taken Ambien and gone to bed, can get up and drive their cars around while they are asleep. It’s like sleepwalking, but a lot more dangerous for everyone involved…and people have been in bad sleep-driving auto accidents after taking Ambien and not even known it.
He said his company is working on a class-action lawsuit, and he hopes they win because there will be a lot of money involved. He hopes to receive enough money that he will have to set up a bypass trust to prevent the IRS from getting most of his estate.
We wished him well. Now, I better go write down some of those lawyer jokes he told before I forget them!
Oh, before I forget, I’m sure that Ambien is a legal trademark of its manufacturer.
