I think if you arent a top dog with huge referrals, you gig is done in probably another year to 2 years.

Based on irma, irma claims were filed up to the date of sol. And thousands were filed on the last day. Asssuming the same, with 18 months of lit on those files, thats most atty's timeline.

Get out now before it too late lol.

Blessing in disguise for me, I am totally over litigating for Apex roofing and CMR

Bit late but current ID associate

Morgan and Morgan is apparently not taking new property lawsuits.

I’m happy that AOBs will eventually stop as they’re half my case list.

The cases will probably slow down but never stop. Some company is gonna under-pay, not cover what they should have, etc. just cause you can’t sign an AOB to a roofer doesn’t mean people won’t sue for a new roof.

Is Bill the new Kyle?

I don't think the insurance companies are done. I have been hearing rumors that they are going after Automotive AOB next to stop all of the money they are losing with windshield litigation.

I used to be in first property ID but am no longer. What reform?

SB78

ID associate we stopped taking property cases

We do all kinds of cases property wasn’t our bread and butter. Plaintiff counsels we’re terrible and greedy so our firm moved away from those cases.

Aren’t they going after plaintiff’s PI too? Does anyone know about that?

There’s a bill to move back to contributory negligence but i can’t that imagine it passes.

One way attorneys fees were horrible for the consumer. This incentivizes insurance companies to underpay or wrongfully deny claims. They never do the right thing right off the bat unless your home was flattened. It's disgusting. AOB end was probably a good move. 👍🏼
