Got a letter from an attorney wanting to sue me follow up
I originally got one of those demand letters wanting my insurance info and coverage, just gave the defendants name and a date of an accident. I googled it and found out some guy paralyzed himself diving into a shallow pool after drinking beer. the kicker was the guy was underage. The attorney said we sold to a minor and was responsible. I called my insurance and got the wheels rolling.
Today i got a certified letter with all the details and it was the kid who was paralyzed. I was looking over the evidence they sent and noticed the receipt wasn't from my store.
THEY GOT THE WRONG STORE AND IT IS ANOTHER CHEVRON LOCATED ON UNIVERSITY AVENUE.
I feel bad for the other dealer, but very happy to know it isn't my store or my people involved in this mess. I was shocked it could be us since I found a photo of the guy online and no one knew him. Plus we are probably one of the hardest places for a minor to buy beer. Most kids avoid us knowing they will get carded.
Got to call the attorney Monday and tell them to go after someone else and leave me alone, also have to notify the insurance company.

Cad, have you suffered stress, lack of sleep, lack of appetite, inability to concentrate and inability to get your weenus to stand at attention since you got the attorney's letter?
If so, you need to lawyer up and give those blood suckers a taste of their own medicine.

Pretty sure I need to give them the chance to correct their error.
Where are the resident attorneys on here?

In his words he basically said you need to sell everything and move to Thailand and get a Short , Slender , Doe Eyed Housekeeper with dark skin and long black hair, that has a Sister.
Cheap Palm thatched Cabana near the Beach and smoke weed , Drink and Relax while your still alive.
Or end up in Leavenworth with AC Man ...Your choice.
Hope this helps..
Sometimes what happens is a wrong plaintiff is named, but the right plaintiff is a sister corporation and knows good and well that the Plaintiff intended to sue the sister corporation instead. In those sorts of cases, sometimes the statute of limitations isn't counted as having ran even if the Plaintiff files the correct suit after the time period would have normally ran out, because often the Defendants are aware of the mistake and purposely drag out the suit until the time period runs out in order to surprise them with "guess what, you sued the wrong corporation." What I don't know is whether the statute of limitations can run out on the case if they are going after a totally wrong plaintiff with no relation to the proper party. I'm going to guess that it can. It no-one's fault but theirs didn't read their own receipt. I would think naming the completely wrong person in a suit which causes the other side to lose would be major legal malpractice if it ends up adversely effecting the plaintiff's claim.
... I hate attorneys.

I had not called an attorney yet. Just notified my insurance. I guess I better make a call. I can't remember the guy I used it has been so long since I needed one.
The accident happened in March of 2017, they have plenty of time. Isn't it five years on civil suits?

It may be better to see just what measure of "harassment" they choose to take before you enlighten them.

I am not interested in making money off them, just get my name removed from this.
