K-mart buys Sears for $11 Billion but hides behind bankruptcy and avoids responsibility for an accident that occurred in a K-mart store at Arecibo, Puerto Rico. The accident occurred on Jan 7, 1997, a $6,000,000.00 law suit was filed. The following is a letter sent online to Johnnie Cochran for help, our last try I think:

December 16, 2004, 8:31 PM

Dear Johnnie,

In Jan 7, 1997 I was involved in an accident inside a K-mart store Arecibo, Puerto Rico. After many visits to the doctors, there was more than enough evidence to sue them for $6,000,000, according to a lawyer from Aguadilla, PR.

At the time of the accident, my girlfriend Olga and her two daughters Cheri and Ashley, were also injured. On the day of the accident, several car batteries exploded by the auto department dispensing sulfuric acid through out the area while we were shopping,

According to the K-mart manager, this is what happened after reporting the event to him. This was the beginning of a physical and mental Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. We had no idea of the terrifying and long nightmare we were to experience.

I have a detailed description of the facts if and when you can view it. We went to see a lawyer in Aguadilla, PR who took the case. Due to this accident's damage my VA pension was upgraded and Social Security disability was approved.

We had and still have numerous visits to hospitals, mental and pulmonary experts and the case was extremely strong.

I was informed by my lawyer, that in year 2002 K-mart filed Chapter something (?) bankruptcy. My lawyer told us that the Federal Judge attending our case suspended the case till further noticed. I have continually visited and continue to visit doctors as well as taking my medication religiously.

In Nov 2004, News media related K-mart had purchased Sears for 11 Billion dollars. I wrote a letter to my lawyer reminding him about the case and asking him to work harder however, now he claims that K-mart is hiding behind the bankruptcy and they won't pay.

Some skeptics asked me if my lawyer had been paid under the table to stop litigation. I had no evidence this was true. My next step would have been another lawyer but I don't trust lawyers or anyone, which is part of a symptom of stress etc, I think.

Today, I'm sending this letter for your HELP. In a few weeks it will be the 8th anniversary since the accident. It's nice to have VA pension and Social Security disability benefits for the month, my kids receive social security benefits as well BUT, what about the future.

My kids look forward to college. I need a new life to start and need retraining. Olga and her girls need a new life also, though we live apart from the break up due to the accident. Please check. I'm in Puerto Rico, the case was filed in US Federal court. If it’s true and my lawyer gave up, that's a major problem. WE NEED YOU, PLEASE. I know it's not what you know, it's what you can prove in court that matters...

Sincerely,

The disabled Writer

Regrettably, I write to inform you that The Cochran Firm will be unable to handle your case.

You should IMMEDIATELY contact another attorney to obtain legal representation. You should be aware that there are strict time limitations within which you must act in order to protect your rights in this matter.

These time limits are complex and vary for different types of legal actions. YOU SHOULD ACT IMMEDIATELY IF YOU WISH TO PURSUE THIS MATTER. FAILURE TO FILE A LAWSUIT WITHIN THE REQUISITE TIME MAY MEAN THAT YOU COULD BE BARRED FOREVER FROM PURSUING YOUR ACTION. You may also contact your local Bar Association Referral Service for names of lawyers that might be of service.

We regret that we could not take your case. There is no charge for our time. We wish you good luck in pursuing this matter with other counsel in your efforts to vindicate your rights.

Best regards,

The Cochran Firm

--------------------------------------------

As you can see, their response wasn’t a happy one, they couldn't help. I understand the Cochran's firm explanation and accept it however, What are our rights? How could K-mart get away with not even a penny for help? The evidence was overwhelming. I swear and/or affirm that this is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God.
