Many of our lawyers used to work for insurance companies. The knowledge and experience we gained from that work is extremely valuable to us now that we only represent individuals injured through someone else’s fault or on the job. We know how insurance companies think. We know that the insurance company claims representatives take into account and consider who the lawyer is on the other side in determining how they will handle a claim and how much they will offer to settle a case. Insurance companies know which firms will aggressively pursue their clients’ cases, including taking the cases to trial, and which firms will agree to settle their clients’ cases quickly and cheaply. Insurance companies know that we pursue our clients’ claims aggressively, and that we will not hesitate to take their cases to trial when necessary to ensure that they are compensated fully and fairly for their injuries.
