Think Your Insurance Has Your Back?
It’s Time to Talk About Insurance Company Tactics
If you know me, you probably know I don’t sugarcoat things when it comes to insurance companies. And since we’re bringing back the newsletter after a bit of a break, it’s only fitting to start off with a reminder of who I am, what I do, and what we’re up against . I help folks who’ve been hurt in accidents get the fair treatment they deserve from insurance companies. And after years of doing this, I can tell you one thing with certainty: Insurance companies don’t play fair. They cut corners, and they do it at your expense. HOW INSURANCE COMPANIES TRY TO CUT PAYOUTS Here’s the cold, hard truth. Insurance companies have many tactics to minimize what they pay out on claims. First, they’ll always ask if you have health insurance. Why? Because if you do, they’ll argue your out-of-pocket costs are lower and then lower your payout. They also use something called indexing . When you file a claim, they quietly run your Social Security number through a database that tracks past claims. If you’ve ever injured that same body part before, even decades ago, they try to pin your current injury on the old one.
case a value based on numbers, codes, and algorithms. Their own adjusters often have little say anymore. Their goal is to keep human emotion out of the entire process. WHY YOU NEED AN ATTORNEY IN YOUR CORNER Insurance companies don’t just look at your case; they look at your lawyer, too. They track which attorneys take cases to trial and which always settle. If your attorney has a reputation for avoiding the courtroom, the insurance company won’t feel pressured to offer a fair payment. That’s why it’s critical to have an attorney who’s not afraid to take your case to court if that’s what it takes to get you the compensation you deserve.
I’ve seen these tactics time and time again. I know how they operate, and more importantly, I know how to push back.
If you’ve been in an accident and suspect the insurance company is lowballing or playing games, give me a call. I’ll be here, just like always, to help you through it.

Of course, there’s a practical, safety- related reason not to walk under a ladder, but the superstition comes from several places, including Christian tradition.
