Fighting Against Big Multinational Corporations
SUMMARY
In personal injury law, you often go up against a team of defense lawyers who are paid by big companies - like insurance companies - with a lot of resources who may try to scare people away. This is why you need a personal injury lawyer who has the experience, tenacity, courage, fortitude, and resources to fight back.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Well, I would say that in all of my cases I've had to be a fierce, fierce advocate for my client. And the reason being is because in personal injury law, more times than not you are going up against a defense lawyer. But that defense lawyer is being paid by a very large insurance company. And insurance companies are not quick to just write people a check when they are responsible for an injury that a person has experienced. And so you need someone who is not going to shy away from fighting the good fight against a large corporation such as an insurance company.
They're multinational corporations, they have billions of dollars in assets. And so you need a lawyer that is not afraid of that, that understands how to work towards getting a case resolved or if you end up having to go to trial. You just need to be able to understand how insurance companies work and how to appeal to their senses to show them why it is in their best interest to actually pay monies that my client is entitled to. And so that's why I say I need to be a fierce, fierce advocate. And most of the defendants that I go up against are really big.
I would call them Goliaths. They're not necessarily mom and pop shops. They are really big companies that have a lot of resources and are willing to put their resources behind defending themselves even though they may be in the wrong. They're oftentimes willing to try to scare people away, scare lawyers away. A lawyer that doesn't have the financial resources to withstand an onslaught of what's called discovery or to withstand an onslaught of a bunch of scary letters that are trying to get you to drop the case.
You've got to have tenacity, you've got to have courage, you've got to have strength, you've got to have fortitude because that's what you're going to need when you fight a large corporation.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Many personal injury lawyers, including myself, will give a free initial consultation so you can determine if I am someone you feel comfortable sharing sensitive information with, and working with for at least several months to as long as a few years.
