I got a douche of a Plaintiff’s attorney trying to bully me who is representing one of the largest insurance companies in the country into settling today. First he tried selling it as saving the client money and I was like they got billions in the bank they ain’t worried about it. Then he tried to say they could end up paying his attorney fees which after speaking with other attorneys, that isn’t a thing in our state. I may be young and dumb but that’s why I work at an experienced attorneys.

He’s been a douche and super aggressive since I took over this case. Granted our insured isn’t very cooperative but he’s gonna end up being super aggressive to the point where the carrier drops coverage for our insured not cooperating in this matter and his client will get nothing.

I had worked simultaneously for 3 companies few months back (with PF) and have received TCS offer now. Based on my UAN, their BGV team found out about these employments which I had not mentioned to TCS and asked me experience letters for those. There is overlap in date of joining and exit in all companies. What should I do now. Will my BGV be negative and TCS revoke my offer. Currently also I am working for 2 companies

Anyone have any suggestions for getting a client to cooperate with discovery. We were retained by a insurance company for their insured and he has not returned emails or phone calls in about 4 weeks. Plaintiff’s counsel wants a settlement offer, and discovery responses or they’re gonna file a motion to compel. The company has been made aware of the insured’s noncooperation but they have tell us they’re pulling coverage for us to withdraw.

I work at a small Midwest ID firm doing mostly MVAs for an Insurance Carrier. Currently have a case where where plaintiff is claiming extensive lost wages from missing tips from working as a bartender/waitress. Place of employment is a strip club, I got a feeling she’s a dancer not a bartender or waitress. But it got me wondering has anyone ran into someone claiming lost wages or revenue from being an OF creator and not being able to crate content due to injury?

Anyone ever have to go to Small Claims Court? We just got assigned a case where a Plaintiff is disagreeing with the insurance company’s repair estimate for their vehicle from a fender bender.
