because no firm calls an insurer to start notice of representation.
certainly not a big assembly line firm like what was stated. maybe some rural firm who doesn't do much PI but even then it's a stretch
i don't even know of firms who put the business on notice anyway. the AR has the insurance company. you have to be talking about like an amputation, death, etc. to notify the company itself
but it won't be a phone call
and it won't discuss the injuries

Right
No one is making a call or detailing their case in an initial contact. Insurer or business defendant.

let's be real the PI attorney won't even have a clue until after treatment, after requesting the medicals, and after the paralegal has summarized the medicals

Especially for the case OP described

How hard do you ride this friend’s coat tails, and is this 50k now cramping your lifestyle? Sure sounds like it

Didn’t know there were this many trial lawyers on the board, no wonder our state is dead last in every conceivable metric, glad y’all are doing good though.

Friends company appears to be the party at fault. A wheel striking a vehicle usually causes more than a dent. You’re talking about a dent that probably did additional damage to whatever parts are on the other side.
As far as a jolt and it causing him injuries, I have no clue. It’s possible depending on the size of the dent and where the tire made impact with the vehicle.

Your company. Not your friend’s company. Sounds like you or your employees were negligent in securing the load.

No one wrecked, no one was hurt
Obviously there was a wreck. A loose tire hit damaged another person’s vehicle. It’s not always apparent someone is “hurt” immediately after a wreck.
quote:
One week later he gets a call from the office’s of Gordon Mckernan saying the guy had late onset severe neck pain, insomnia and mental issues from the “jolt” of the tire hitting his vehicle.
Just an outright lie. Attorney put you on notice of injuries but would not go into specifics like that.

The insurance company will probably write a 50k check to not defend the case.....
I hope they don’t and the lawyer gets to show a jury how much of an arse you are.

how it can be completely unanticipated
So, let's play "What if?" -
What if the wheel failure had resulted in, say, the death of a driver. Is your friend's company responsible in that case, because it is "completely unanticipated"?

When did I ever say his company wasn’t responsible? Incredible the sheer deficit of basic reading comprehension in this thread. Obviously he was responsible and offered to pay for all damages, the dudes car was barely dented and he refused any medical attention.

Either you are lying or your friend is lying to you. The process simply does not work like that.

I’m not a trial lawyer, but thanks for playing
Tell your friend not to create road hazards, and he won’t have to worry about trial lawyers tho

Actually they're going down. State Farm on its 3rd rate decrease in a year...
Personal auto rates have gone down some, but commercial rates haven't.
We had a driver stopped at a light behind someone. When the light turned, our driver started to go, but the guy in front didn't. Our driver tried to stop, but before he could the tow hook on the front of our truck contacted the rear bumper on the other car and punctured a hole about the size of a quarter in the plastic. Our guy was clearly at fault, so we had the bumper repaired, no questions asked. Several months later, our insurance carrier received a demand letter from one of the more well-known billboard attorneys for $75k for back and neck injuries. They had been sending their client to treatment with a chiropractor who said his injuries were so severe that he would likely need continued treatment the rest of his life.

No mention of your friend’s workers being fricking idiots. No mention that it is really dangerous. No complaints about your friends company putting the public in danger with their being stupid. You are just complaining that this guy is being sued too much for the stupidity of his employees. You are complaining that it is essentially punitive.
I hope he does have to pay a bunch so that he makes sure not to do that shite again and really hurt someone.
That is not how tort law works except in rare situations which qualify for punitive damages.
The claimants , if truly injured, are entitle to damages commensurate with their injuries, nothing more and nothing els. if the victims are injured they should be trated appropriately.
Of course quite often the claimants become the pawns of plaintiff attorneys who direct them to doctors who will provide documeantation of the alleged injuris. Sometimes this is not true. othe rtimes the doctors perform procedures which harm the claimant. This happens far mor eoften than any nearious activity by insurance adjusters.
