Michelle Tribble's Insurance Nightmare
Recently my client Michelle Tribble was featured on CNN's cable show Anderson Cooper 360. The story addressed how insurance companies take advantage of legitimate accident victims by intentionally undercutting settlement offers and essentially forcing innocent victims to file expensive and time-consuming lawsuits just to recover their medical bills.
How the insurance industry shortchanges accident victims to earn billions more in profits
Allstate found that by intentionally undercutting the value of the claim by 20, 30 or even 50%, Allstate could earn much more in profits.

Case Study: Insurance Company Tries To Minimize Injuries To Avoid Paying Damages

Buyer Beware: What You Need To Know About Lawyer Advertising
You need to know a few things about lawyer advertising. For example, if you look through the yellow pages you'll see that the ads placed by attorneys all say essentially the same thing.

How To Determine The Value Of A Personal Injury Case
There is no magic formula or process by which someone can predict with certainty the amount of money that a personal injury case may be worth.

This report will give you some idea of the factors involved in determining the value of a case.

In Washington, most of the superior courts have adopted a program known as “mandatory arbitration.” Arbitration is another way to resolve a case instead of going to trial.
