If the injuries are good enough, and there's a chance at a shitton of coverage (read: commercial vehicle), a lot of them will roll the dice and try to bullshite their way to a settlement.

Drop the threshold, extend prescription to 2 years, and mandatory recording of all calls with Claimant with penalties available for a&c handling of third party claim (with different standard than UM)

I can dig it.

Is it gonna go through?

I know they passed something a few years ago where adverse party can extend prescription in writing, but I’m not trying to be the guinea pig on that one.

That would be very bad.

TV lawyer in Mobile used to advertise “if you drink, and you drive, don’t call me. I’m the guy that’s coming after you!”

Guess what?

Yep, he got a DUI!

Let’s clean up the behavior of all actors involved. Now why would you be against that?

I am seeing more and more cases where all the attorney is doing is trying to set up a bad faith case when there isn't bad faith statutes. If you enact them, it will become a nightmare. Every accident will turn into a bad faith claim.

And maybe some adjusters and companies should get popped and put on notice that what they’re doing is bad faith.

If we’re trying to clean up the abuse at the margins of the Plaintiff’s side of the table, let’s make sure we address the abuse at the margins of the insurance companies’ side of the table

They adapted after McDill so they could adapt to any new third party standard

i haven't seen much bad faith on the casualty side. Worker's comp is a different story, but what exactly do you think these evil adjusters are doing? Being dicks just gives you more business, but that isn't bad faith. if they do not want to pay a fair settlement plaintiffs can just go get a lawyer to handle it.

Mr Smith sure does seem angry. That 65k salary from Geico must not be keeping the missus happy

Mr. Smith is just tired of personal injury attorneys working cases up that have no merit, and is disappointed that certain doctors have sold their souls to personal injury attorneys. Mrs. Smith doesn't have to worry about what Mr. Smith makes, even if he did work for Geico.

Loser pays would solve a lot of these problems.
