Exactly. Many PI lawyers send out their form letters demanding policy limits without even knowing what the limits are.
You do realize there is a valid legal reason to make that offer in many jurisdictions and not making it could be viewed as malpractice.

Stop fricking our insurance rates with your frivolous lawsuits.
Have you met "tort reform" yet? With or without frivolous lawsuits(how do you define?) insurance companies are not and will not be lowering premiums. Insurance companies are not your friend and/or good neighbor. They exist to F you in the A

Do you know what you have if you have a room full of injury lawyers up to their neck in sand?
Ans: Not enough sand.
Why dont sharks bite injury lawyers?
Ans: Professional courtesy.

Then what do these guys do?
Operate a business whereby customers can mitigate financial risks by paying a premium in exchange for a set amount of financial protection and a claims handling process? Manage significant amounts of financial investments generated by said premiums to maintain solvency to pay claims?
I’d say those guys are a lot more valuable to society than plaintiff attorneys.

All they care about. Limits over the person. They'll keep the majority of the reward. Screw the client and make them go to appts for 2 years to make sure they get full money access for using their client to fill their pockets. frick ambulance chasers.

And plaintiff’s attorneys who take 40% plus expenses have your best interests at heart?
Do you really think the insurance companies will work with you to get a reasonable settlement without an attorney? No. They won't. It oftentimes takes a ton of work and fronted costs to get a good result? And who eats the risk when a case goes South? In almost every situation you will get hosed without an attorney so that 35-40% is for a necessary and earned service.

Could be put out of business literally tomorrow if insurance companies did business differently.
I don’t disagree that you have scumbag PI guys out there. I hate the Gordon McKernan mill model and marketing juggernaut more than all of you in this thread combined.
But let’s not act like one side has clean hands and the other doesn’t

Do tell, what magical business practice is eluding them? Should they just start paying whatever amount claimants demand, no questions asked, no documentation required?

I’ve long said the practice would be much better if insurance defense attorneys and PI attorneys switched places for a year or so.

I’d start by hiring more adjusters to lower their claim load so they can give more attention to individual claimants. I’d also suggest paying medical bills early and upfront outside of medpay coverage as a show of good faith.
But I don’t get paid $19 million to make these decisions

Most insurance companies do work with you. I have seen several over the years that paid 6 figures to the plaintiff on claims that should have been denied, including several where the insurance company eventually won at trial. Don’t kid yourself, for every time that an insurance company denies or fights a claim there is a plaintiff in another case with a fraudulent claim or fraudulently inflating damages.

Many companies have teams of adjusters who deal with represented claimants and a separate team who deals with h represented claimants.
If the law is the same for both sets of claimants, why do you need separate teams?
