Don’t Let Insurance Company Misinformation Campaigns Scare You Away and Deny You Your Legal Rights Advises Experienced Pennsylvania Injury Lawyer

As an experienced Philadelphia personal injury and car accident lawyer since 1979 whose law firm has handled thousands of cases, I have never before witnessed anything as extreme as what the insurance companies are manifesting by their tactics in order to deny and delay rightfully obligated legal claims.

When I first started practicing law in 1979, deals were able to be effectuated with a hand shake and a conversation with an insurance adjuster or insurance defense attorney. In those days, a hand shake and contract stood for something. When one purchased insurance with hard earned dollars, it was understood that an insurer’s main objective was to protect you. Today, in fact, many insurance companies have instituted a campaign of misinformation and will do anything possible to try to avoid payment of even the most justified claims. I have spoken to many adjusters and defense attorneys who quite frankly have misrepresented coverage issues and look for every loophole in the policy and even use language that was not set forth in the policy in an effort to wrongfully deny a claim.

In one case that I am currently handling, one of my clients purchased insurance for over 20 years with a reputable insurance company and yet when he was catastrophically injured, losing limbs, his company claimed that he never purchased the coverage that he was seeking to recover from under the policy. In fact, the company was dead wrong and we currently have filed a lawsuit taking a very aggressive stance against his insurance agent and the company seeking bad faith damages in the courts of Pennsylvania.

The misrepresentation campaign that seems to be gathering momentum among the insurance companies and their agents, servants, and employees is unconscionable and widespread. The harsh reality of the situation is that now more than ever if you are involved in a catastrophic accident, product liability case, or car accident, you need to have a fearless and well funded advocate on your side to get you the monies that you deserve.
