Good morning everyone! It's April! I hope you enjoyed Passover and/or Easter! We celebrated both in our home and spent Easter weekend up in the mountains. It's already getting warm here in Phoenix, with highs in the low 90s, so we're ALREADY escaping to higher altitudes and cooler evenings. I'm writing to you before the drive up there, so all I can say about the trip is I'm excited! I can't wait for the clean mountain air and long walks under the pine trees with my
beautiful bride! OK, enough Mountain Living Magazine, on to TCA stuff!
A question I hear all the time from folks is, "Scott, if you were hurt, would you get a lawyer or would you go after the insurance company yourself?" It's a great question. Hopefully one I will never have to test out. My answer is this, "If you're asking yourself this question, call a lawyer." A lawyer will give you their honest opinion and tell you if you have a case. If it's an injury case, they only get paid if you win, and almost every case (if a lawyer is willing to take it) will settle.
Here's an interesting story from a reporter who decided to take on an insurance company himself. What he thought was a simple case, turned out not to be so simple, and it's a cautionary tale about going against a behemoth, even for a "small"
amount of money. Spoiler alert, the defense may lie to you, even inadvertently, and the tricks they pulled on him wouldn't work with an actual attorney...
