I know that many victims of automobile accidents want to believe the insurance company. If the person on the phone sounds nice or says the obvious ( " our insured caused the accident so we are taking responsibility") there could be a tendency for any injury victim to...

Insurance claims adjuster accuses client
Not very good manners. In one of my cases the insurance adjuster handling the case had the nerve to accuse an injury victim of lying. Contrary to what the insurance industry wants the public to believe, most injury victims are good, decent folks looking for a fair...
Does your lawyer listen?
Sadly most personal injury lawyers love to talk but hate to listen. There is a tendency to think one case is just like another and will turn out, and should turn out,the same as others. This is not true and potentially very harmful to your case. Although injuries...
Just because it says so, does not mean it is
Sometimes insurance policies exclude certain coverage. When a claim is made by an injury victim, the insurance company points to policy language that says no coverage for that, so sorry. Don't just think that's the end. Insurance policies can not violate the law, and...

I am seeing a rise in Mirena IUD cases. These devices are causing major problems for a lot of women around the State of New Hampshire and around the country. Mirena IUD is the culprit. Women have experienced uterine perforation, enmeshment and migration caused by...
Do you want a phony lawyer?
I see all kinds of personal injury lawyers. Injury victims have lots of choices. There are crooks, liars and thieves. There are good lawyers too. My approach is different-- very different. Even different than how I used to practice law. My clients know a difference...
I went a little overboard
A few blogs ago I was highly critical of a defense lawyer. I think I went so far as to say I wondered if he cared about anybody! Now that isn't very nice. And make matters worse, I think I even wondered if anybody cared for him!! I was out of line. I was simply going...
