Show us the fact of 15k being offered along with the insurance policy in that case, along with the actual losses.
You are right all those displaced homeowners, many who have never filed a law suit or made an insurance claim in their lives filed suits because they wanted to fleece the poor insurance company and make PI attorney a bunch of money.

I'm not even claiming it's to frick over their consumers intentionally. They don't want to pay for full-time adjusters so they're hiring contracted jack legs who sometimes just take pictures and measurements and sometimes have literally no training and no relationship to the insurance company. That's a business choice. q
Same thing they did for Katrina and Gustav. I understand their options were limited but for Katrina they played a different game. Homeowners carrier blamed the water and said it was a flood claim, flood carrier blamed the wind and said it was a wind claim. Neither would pay. Homeowner got nothing without litigation.

It’s going to be a great time to be a PI attorney in LC over the next 10 years or so. Everyone in that jury pool will have had an experience with an insurance company

That's not proof. Regardless, it is still rationalization, because that is not why PI attorneys behave as they do. They are always pushing for more, even when the company was playing fair. They are fattening their wallet with the excuse of doing it for the client and against the evil insurance companies.

The best is when they try to write estimates based on rebuild cost in Montana. Sure lets not factor in any supply and demand cost into the estimates and find the lowest rebuild cost in the country and use those numbers in our payment calculation.

“A woman who does what she says and has the results to prove it.” That’s how clients describe Vanessa Motta, a Hollywood stunt woman who became a personal injury attorney. Vanessa aggressively fights for her clients’ rights, ensuring they receive the quality of medical care they deserve.
Her slogan, “Send ‘er in,” has made a splash in the legal community.

I don’t know the facts on whether the alleged puppetmaster has a financing company, but I will say from personal experience that Vanessa Motta is very well-versed in the nuances of the collateral source rule and what charges the jury gets to see when it comes to medical funding companies buying the paper from the doctors.

I'm glad we can all disregard any future posts by our friend, Jake88. Ol baw has his head too far up his own arse.

It is not that. The guy made it seem as if every home owner had to go to litigation.

PI lawyers are not storm/property casualty attorneys. There are a few firms in the state that specialize in storms/fires/home/building bad faith claims. You do not hire a PI lawyer for a hurricane case; it is way too technical.

You are wrong on that. Maybe Morris Bart didn't do them but plenty of large diverse PI firms did tens of thousands of them.
They are not that technical if the PI forms contracts with private adjusters. PI firms private adjuster compares his figures with insurance companies adjustment finds discrepancies and your off. Some states allow adjusters to do this without an attorney, Louisiana however does not.

You don't like my observation for personal political and/or professional economic reasons, but you can't prove me wrong, can you?
The Keating suits are self-proving with respect to my position. There are zero barriers in place in this state to stop totally bogus auto accident suits from being filed. Keating is just the tip of the iceberg, the one we actually know about. If there's no need for reform, how come Keating and God knows who else has been doing this for years? We should just turn a blind eye and hope the U.S. Justice department polices our state tort system?
You're wrong.

thank you for this response. I wanted to say the same thing, insurance and property losses are not plaintiff work. They are ambulance chasers and do personal injury. I was confused all the people adding all this stuff about atty's for property damage.

So if you do Personal injury and property damages claims does that make you an ambulance chaser or a respected property damage attorney?

Whatever it makes you, you're not an honorable insurance defense attorney.
