Matilda Rose Vs. The Man

Heath Ledger DadA lawyer has taken on the case of Matilda Rose, and is fighting for her to receive the 10 million in insurance that her father (Heath Ledger) took out for her. We get the following scoop from the justice caves of Yahoo:

A former attorney for Heath Ledger is suing over a $10 million life insurance policy he claims has gone unpaid since the actor’s death.

Attorney John S. LaViolette sued Minnesota-based ReliaStar Life Insurance Company in July, claiming the company is trying to avoid paying the claim to Ledger’s young daughter, Matilda Rose.

I had to fight for insurance over a stolen bike once, and that was a pain in the ass.
You pay insurance so when something horrible happens – money is given to you in response to the tragedy. It’s like the lottery, only you buy your ticket with sorrow. Insurance companies are notorious for doing their best to avoid their end of the bargain, even if that means ripping off the Joker’s daughter. Word of mouth is the best weapon against shady companies, and is also the best means to find quality sellers.

It’s kind of this lawyer to go to bat for Ledger’s daughter. I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assuming he is doing this for selfless reasons. I would hate to see him jump to her rescue, only to take half. But until I hear otherwise, I will call him a samaritan and hope that the law is in his favor, and that girl gets the moneys that are owed to her.
