I had a defendant say my client swallowed a lap pad as opposed to it was left behind after a surgery.

Adjuster telling me my client was 100% at fault and they wouldn’t be paying anything on our claim. What happened? My client was going through a green light and the other driver decided to make an unprotected left in front of my client, and they then bounced off my client and hit another car.

Guess who paid out 24 hours after receiving a policy limit demand?

We currently have a client lying about all of the personal property that was in the car and was destroyed in the accident. Wife gives us receipts proving that he's lying because they weren't on the same page.

I've had people caught on surveillance video staging shit. It was fun dumping that one. I got to walk through the entire accident and get them to commit to it just how it happened and then ask "So what would you say if I said I had you on tape wearing a gray shirt and spilling the water yourself 16 mins before the fall?" All i heard was the click of a hangup.

I could go on...

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.
