Does a PI attorney have the duty to investigate/find or know whether defendant has a coverage ? Defendant never interposed an answer and default judgement was granted! By the time the insurance carrier learned about the lawsuit, they argued they lost the opportunity to investigate and develops defense/late notice defense bcz insured did not notify them about the suit. Any input? Can PI attorney get in trouble for not investigating or notifying the carrier ?

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

Any NYC agency doing consumer healthcare / OTC? I’m so done with cancer, diabetes, conventions, charts and launches 😪

I don’t want things to go “back to normal,” and lately I’ve been reading what feels like a lot of disingenuous arguments for reopening “for people’s mental health.” As someone who was suffering from the way things were before and is now thriving from the slowdown (both in work and personal life), I wish we could all stop pretending like we were living in some mental health utopia before the shut down.

Hello All,
I am finishing up my second year of practice as a lawyer. I transitioned to plaintiffs pi work from a boutique commercial litigation firm. I like the work and not having to bill. The issue I am having is managing volume. I have about 150 active files some pre-lit and the rest are in litigation. Cases range in value from very small to low six figures.
