Tough Questions - Questions the Insurance Adjustors Don't Want You To Ask
Most insurance adjustors are highly trained adversaries, although most people would never think this, at least not in the beginning of the claims process. Now, most people understand that the insurance company’s job is to make money and that one way it does this is by settling claims for less than the claim is worth. Yet, most people are unaware of how sophisticated, yet simple, the methods the carrier will utilize to help it accomplish this goal. Here are some questions that often will make the insurance company squirm. No, the carrier doesn’t like it when you ask these questions because it either cannot answer the question or worse, the answer is one they do not like to hear.

Buyer Beware - What You Need To Know About Lawyer Advertising

How To Determine The Value Of A Personal Injury Case
There is no magic formula or process by which someone can predict with certainty the amount of money that a personal injury case may be worth. If there were, then society wouldn’t have a need for insurance adjustors, personal injury lawyers, etc. One could simply apply the “formula” to come up with the value of a case. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Insurance companies and injured persons rarely agree on a figure. This report will give you some idea of the factors involved in determining the value of a case.

Injury Case Roadmap - The Legal Process For Personal Injury Cases
More and more insurance companies are taking a very aggressive stance in settling accident claims.

Once a lawsuit is filed, the court will set certain milestones and deadlines. This report will help you understand this process.

Mandatory Arbitration - The Alternative To Trial
The purpose of Mandatory Arbitration is to reduce court congestion, expedite the litigation process, and to provide a cost effective resolution of civil claims. In Washington, most of the superior courts have adopted a program known as “mandatory arbitration.” Arbitration is another way to resolve a case instead of going to trial. With arbitration, the court appoints an “arbitrator” who will decide the case by listening to testimony, reviewing evidence, and then issuing an award. The arbitrator is usually an experienced attorney or retired judge. This report helps you to understand the mandatory arbitration process.
