We can agree that we choose health over money. As an accident lawyer since since 2005, I've represented injured clients; I've also defended major insurance companies. Insurance companies’ lawyers defend an estimated 90% percent of injury cases. I am well versed in insurance defense strategy.. Car accident lawyers' dirty secret: Do as little work as possible, settle quickly with the insurance company and take their 44% fee.
