Be very careful. You recently were involved in an auto accident, at no fault of your own, because the other driver was drunk driving, distracted while driving, impaired driving, or simply negligently driving. No matter the reason for the car crash, or how obviously at...

The insurance company wants a recorded statement, what do you do?
Contact an injury lawyer right away. No good comes from subjecting yourself to a recorded statement from a representative of the person who caused you harm. They are not looking to help you, nor are they seeking the truth. They are looking to hurt you and slant the...
“The biggest human temptation is to settle for too little.”
I wish I could take credit for this great quote. These are the words of one of the world's greatest spiritual writers - Thomas Merton. Of course, I immediately applied them to injury law and dealing with insurance companies. Unless the insurance company knows you are...
What to do when the insurance adjuster, driving a vehicle with an insurance company logo, shows up at your door…
Don't let them in. They'll have a checkbook with the authority to write you a puny check. Don't settle. Don't fall for it. Keep your eye on the logo, and remember who they work for - it's not you. They might seem very nice, and they might be nice people, but they do...

I’m NOT bashing your insurance agent or mine.
As you can see from my blogs, I'm very critical of the insurance industry. I don't appreciate how they treat good, honest people when they need to make a claim for damages. By the way, I'm also critical of most lawyers, too. Any way, my criticism is not directed at...
Some quick advice.
Never talk settlement numbers with an insurance adjuster until you've talked with a lawyer. Most lawyers offer a Free Consultation. Just pick up the phone and ask for some advice. Charlie Donahue Injury Lawyer
HUSH – look who gets to hide in court – the biggest bully: the insurance company.
At trial the plaintiff is the person making a claim, and the defendant is the person who is being blamed for causing the problem. Both will be in the courtroom. Insurance pays for the defense lawyers and any verdict the jury might award. Trouble is - hush - nobody is...
JURY TRIALS — FRAUD EXPOSED!
It is my firm belief that every case should be settled in an amicable fashion—fair and reasonably. I always advise my clients to settle for a fair amount; this is not some sort of lottery—at least not in my view. Sadly, the insurance companies, all too often, decide...
