My client was seriously injured in a tractor trailer crash when the tractor rear ended him while riding his motorcycle. I recovered $6.5 million for injuries he suffered. Immediately after this crash, the insurance company sent a letter “denying” liability (a common game the insurance companies play). I was forced to sue and fight for my client.
Without a lawyer, my client would most likely have received nothing because the insurance company denied the claim.
In this situation, I helped my client fight through the medical recovery process by making sure he had medical appointments scheduled and received proper medical treatment. I dealt with all insurance companies involved and I tried the case to a jury for two weeks. The night before closing arguments began, I settled the case for $6.5 million.
Not every injury results in a $6.5 million settlement. But this case is an example of how insurance companies play games and how it is sometimes necessary to fight.
I don’t give up. Period.
In this case, one of the country’s biggest insurance companies denied my client’s claim – and we beat them. That’s a tremendous accomplishment. I have the resources and manpower to fight the biggest insurance companies in the world, and win. I don’t say this to brag, but to prove I am a fighter. My claims are backed up with substantial results and cases similar to this.
I am proud of this case because I knew the insurance company wrongly “denied” my client’s claim. It was a true David vs. Goliath scenario.
As with all my clients, we fought to the bitter end. Besides the great recovery, I gained a true friend.
When I do something, I do it 110%.
Unfortunately, many lawyers – both plaintiff and defense – believe a personal injury lawyer should not help clients after an injury. Some believe clients should find their own doctors and make their own appointments. Not every injury victim has the luxury of doing this after an accident. That’s why I’m here to help.
I’ve handled serious injury cases for more than a decade. Every client during that time received medical treatment. Therefore, I know which doctors have great reputations. As a professional, my obligation is to help clients get the treatment they need so they can recover quickly.
Insurance defense lawyers often try proving I do something wrong by recommending doctors. I disagree with their opinion.
Why should I expect injured clients to have the same knowledge about local doctors as I do?
Of course, I don’t – which is why I help my clients with every detail from start to finish. I wouldn’t let family members bounce around from doctor to doctor until they found the right one. And my clients are no different – they are like family.
It’s foolish for anyone to think there’s something wrong with injury lawyers recommending a doctor, with a good reputation, who practices near the client’s home.
I only bring up the topic of doctor recommendations because insurance companies often use it as a defense during a case. The argument makes no sense. But, then again, neither does denying a claim and paying it later.
