You're being obtuse. What a surprise....

no i'm not

if the "fair market" offer by adjusters was an optimal move, i'm sure one of the major insurance companies would have gone that direction by now (b/c it would lower costs and they'd be able to seize market share by this shift). since none of these companies do this, i have to believe they have done their cost/benefit research

The last thing any adjustor wants to see right now on a claim is a plaintiff's attorney. Yet they still don't offer these magical fair settlements that Russian expects.

You are so blinded by how the system works now you're not comprhending how a change using loser pays would create an entirely new financial incentive basis.

I am now on my iPad and don't feel like hassling with providing quotes and links it requires using this device. Maybe I will do that later when I go back to my PC.

Total gibberish. The only financial incentive now is for adjusters to make as low of a settlement as the claimant will accept. There is no incentive for the adjuster to make a fairer offer.

See my post above why loser pays adds an incentive for the adjuster to make a fairer payment in hopes of avoiding having the injured person from hiring an attorney.
