The Wrecker is the second novel in a new Western series by “one of the greatest adventure novelists of our time” (imdb). It promises to become perhaps the most popular Clive Cussler series yet. Because, let’s face it, stories about the Wild West never lose their appeal to American (as well as International) audiences.

A detective by the name of Isaac Bell represents the main character in The Wrecker. Bell is as athletic and fearless as James Bond and as intellectually brilliant as Sherlock Holmes.

As an independently wealthy heir to a Boston banking family, Isaac Bell pursues his detective investigations with a fury born out of an obsession and passion for justice rather than the need to make a living.

A corporation, business or someone personally can file a default judgment against you if you owe them money. Default judgments are done in a court of law in order for the person or entity to collect their funds.

Placing a judgment against a debtor is the only recourse a creditor has to secure getting his money this is owed him. This default judgment will appear on your credit report with the three major credit reporting agencies. A judgment will affect your credit rating and cause you considerable harm when applying for credit in the future.

The only time a default judgment is claimed against you is if you did not show up in court to contest or confirm this claim. If you were not aware of a judgment being placed against you, there are laws in place to protect you. You do have certain rights to enable you to have the judgment vacated or removed.

Slip and Fall is a case that results from civil harm that arises from those that do not have contracts with one another. Most injured parties have some sort of doing with one another, but slip and fall cases are covered by the tort law. This law covers an extensive ground, able to have jurisdiction in all non-contractual, civil damage situations. Usually neglect, intentional, or accidental cause.

Slip and fall is a tort case, because it is on the assumption that the person slipped, fell, tripped with the idea that the owner of the establishment during the time of the injury had neglected attention to prevent a person from slipping. The tricky part is determining who’s who. Who was clumsy and who was attentive? Who tried to be careful but who was negligent? Slip and fall could be sometimes a confounding case.

Owners have two defenses against this tort case. The first one is the denial of negligence. For example, if a person tripped because he accidentally spilled liquid on the floor which caused him to fall down, it would not be the responsibility of the owner. By due diligence, the store owner wouldn’t have had the time to clean the spill, and he was not responsible for spilling the liquid in the first place.
