hope to cover the cost of their recovery. Without it, there would be no checks or balances on the insurance industry. Furthermore, there would be no means of recourse against the dangerous, negligent behavior of others.
Every day, we see hardworking folks who have put off filing legitimate injury claims. Many feel they don’t need the money and wouldn’t want to appear greedy by going after their insurance company.
