Only issue with bad faith is insurance companies get away with it all the time because lawyers will only take on cases where they get a generous compensation. So insurance screws people daily and lawyers won’t help because the payday isn’t there
Go after the license. You don't need a lawyer for that to make a complaint against that insurer in your state, you just gotta have the facts. Pull up what other people are saying, express your personal situation with accident reports, witness statements, dashcam footage if applicable. Print out all your emails. Every state in the US has an insurance board. Find your state website and make your complaint against that particular company. But before you do, let the insurance company know what actions you're fixing to take, to give them adequate time to think over your decision to allow them to take care of you. If they refuse, go after their licensing for bad faith and consumer abuse. Or whatever legal jargon you need to say with state codes that they failed to comply to. Where there is a will, theres a way to get justice. You may just need to put some skin in the game.

Great story I can see your a proficient as a trial lawyer, if I was a juror your ability to articulate with clarity, emphasizing your point with confidence and respect to the court . Seem like lately the dysfunction of courts seem to be keeping pace with breaking down the fabric of our society
Going through this now. My insurance refused a settlement offer within my policy limits. Now I'm being sued. I've told both lawyers I've talked to from the firm my insurance company that I will be hiring an attorney to sue the company if there is a judgment against me. In the meantime I've been stressed for the past 6 months with no end in sight. They could have ended this 9 months ago.

You are correct. Insurance companies pay for their skyscrapers by denying all claims forcing the insured to sue for bad faith. These companies intentionally/strategically completely separate the departments within the company to more plausibly get away with deny claims. They are organized criminals. As a paralegal, I worked insurance defense for 5 years AND 5 years insurance prosecution vis-a-vis personal injury. Be warned: the absolute worst company is State Farm and second worst is Allstate.

This happens more than you think. One insurer actually had a brochure for its employees called "Good Hands; Boxing Gloves" telling their employees to fight even cases where their insured caused the accident, and the injuries are severe. Don't be afraid to fight for what you deserve.
NO 'Good Faith law ' in EU, Law in EU is more protective of insurance than of the victim. Victims in EU have few rights only duties. NO Lawyers do 'no cur, no money' !
You must be referring to State Farm which is the absolute worst and most unethical of all insurance companies. I know because I have dealt with them twice.
@@jeffmarionpersonalinjuryla2966 Oh, yeah, I know who you mean! They used to have Dennis Haysbert do their commercials and now they have their "Mayhem" character. Nevertheless, State Farm is a truly despicable company and they get away with a lot. My husband was t-boned by one of their insured at a Walmart parking lot 3 weeks ago and the woman was cited by the cop on the police report with "Failure to Yield Right of Way" and " Inattention" . However, even though there were no injuries, they are stalling and haven't accepted liability and are still " investigating" pending their liability decision". First, they claimed that the policy the woman gave to the cop didn't cover that specific vehicle. Then, a few days later, they said that the policy for that car was new and there had been an administrative error on their part and they would "fix" it which of course they still haven't. Our car was brand new and sustained $5500 worth in damages which I am sure is the reason they are also stalling. We plan on filing a Diminished Value claim after the repairs are completed next week. I know it won't be easy getting them to pay but we won't let that stop us. What bothers me is that we still have to fork out our $500 deductible when we pick up the car from the body shop and we may not get it back for several months assuming they decide to accept liability and since we subrogated to our insurance GEICO, they are also at the mercy of them and whether or not they "choose" to admit liability and get their money back. I know you are an attorney, but it doesn't make sense to me how the law allows them to do this!
@@karimaogden3875 Private companies are businesses that seek profit, which is why some countries in the world have state insurance companies, which are more secure.
I have a serious question I was involved in a crash where I was the injured party missed multiple weeks of work my vehicle was totaled. It was the other driver's fault my insurance told me I was guilty and just now 5 months later I find out that the other drivers insurance is not even going to pay anything because he was driving for Uber and they are insured by the same company that ensures me. Which means they have a conflict of interest because my injuries and damages far exceed the other drivers. I'll take any advice I can get
You explained that so clearly, I never was lost throughout the whole video; I wish more Lawyers could do that. I do not know if you answer questions, but if you do, I really appreciate it on this. If your auto insurance gives you your knew quote for the next 6 months and you accept and make the first payment; then when the next payment is due, they send you an email for a payment of $45 more than the stated payments agreed on, and it is this amount for the next 4 months, but the autopay is set for the agreed upon payments. Then you check your account and they have literally changed the payments scheduled amounts to this new payment, what can I, the insured, do regarding this, for this is corruption at the highest level? Thank you and appreciate your video as well sir.
While traveling in my RV I was in an accident on February 9th 2023 I have had FULL TIME RV INSURANCE with Progressive and reported the accident. The adjuster was sent out two weeks later after filing the claim to assess damages which were written incorrectly and not thoroughly conducted. 2 weeks later after I was told my policy was under investigation for misrepresentation My agent from Progressive would not give me any other information. I attempted numerous times to get a hold of my insurance agents supervisor, but never received a response back. I received a letter stating my policy has been terminated due to my not owning an additional vehicle other than my RV. They say I signed documents that stated this, but I opened the policy up by the phone NEVER SIGNING ANYTHING They refuse to give me copies of what was so called "signed" I had a previous RV insured with progressive for three years...aren't they aware after five months or three years that I don't own an additional vehicle? This is completely unfair and I am having a really DIFFICULT TIME finding legal help. ANY RESOURCES ARE SUPER APPRECIATED!!! UNABLE TO DRIVE I AM STRANDED AND NEED ASSISTANCE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU
Hi, I'm with progressive and my rv was stolen and they denied me bc I said I made a phone call to my brother at 6:37, when I said the tire blew out between 7 and 8. They said my timeline was inconsistent! 23 min!!!! I left the rv and came back at 11:30 and it was gone!!! I can't believe they can deny my case over an inconsistent time frame of only 23min!!! Did you get your case resolved??
.... I am an Insurance Broker and Agency owner since 1977. When my clients are the injured party, and injured plaintiff against another insurance carrier - I do not know of any Law Firm more worthy & tenacious of representing my clients then Finkelstein & Partners Law Firm.
God how I would have love it if you represented me, instead of the ????? that I got. Almost 2yrs, about 10 return calls, emails and text in total from my attorney. I last told them back in Sept, I wanted to sue, haven't heard from them. I search to see if I can fire them and do it on my own, and that's how I got to you. Because now, the quack of a doctor that they sent me too, is wanting his money and not getting a return call as well. I got rear ended at a red light stop, and the lady was on the phone search for the location, she was getting to when she hit us, she took full responsibility and her insurance too! Im at a lost?? Thank you for all the information you shared.
😂 Amazing story. Thanks 100%. You a good person. Yes don't bother with their excuses. You did what was right. That's a lot of power you have in your hand.
Council, if a defense attorney represents a management company and a apartment complex in two lawsuits is this legal or normal? Do they normally merge both or try each one separately? two insurance policies. thank you
I purchased a new car 6 months ago and I went back to the same agent that I had my previous insurance with. We first asked about full coverage. It was almost 2,000$. Then, I said, okay, what about just state minimum with roadside? He claimed that it was still high. Almost $1,000. No accidents, no tickets. Fast forward to today, I thought I only had state minimum. Apparently, he set my limits at $100,000 and I basically had full coverage. Uninsured motorist, comprehensive, etc. And, my date of birth was wrong on the policy. It wasn't wrong in my first policy. He had to change it. We never saw what we were paying for, he simply wrote down a number and said that's what it would cost. Do I have a case?
Thanks for the video and thanks for explaining Bad Faith. Could you make a video on Bad Faith in regard to Homeowners insurance adjuster who under pay storm damage?
Great video! Been dealing with a trader joes worker that smashed a cart into my car and is claiming injury. First started with $7000 in injuries thens $12000 now its at $20000 and still haven’t heard anything from my insurance.
Blue Cross Blue Shield cancelled my policy the same day I had a coronary CT scan. This is an “”ACA-compliant” plan. This is very bad faith. What are my options?
I am a consumer. The adjuster was in bed with the Repair Network that issues the checks to the contractor and with the contractor. When we call the contractor, the adjuster returns the phone call. The adjuster paid the contractor $50k to reroof a 1340 square ft residential roof. $20k to the contractor to fir out the interior walls. $17k to the contractor for the rough electric. $25k to the Network for overseeing the disbursement of the money. It has taken 2 years and the project is half complete, just the studs are showing. We only signed for 2 payment releases that totaled $50k and the adjuster says there is approx $22k left on the $145k claim and sent us the check to finish because we said we didn't want the contractor back. Is there any recourse against this adjuster? Who do we call? We can't afford a lawyer.
I had a long term care insurance defraud me 3 years ago, after $16000 in premiums!!! I am relatively healthy!Can I still go back to retrieve that policy?
This was a good story, but damn people have to wait 4 to 5 years just to get what was rightly theirs... SMH.. I'm going through that right now with a trucking company that smashed in to me and knocked me 50 yards off the road...
16:22 I don’t give a fuck what you think, I’m dead. This is amazing! Thank you for this video. It’s highly informative. I’m currently going through an ugly process with my homeowners policy. Your video has been very informative.
I need to sue for bad faith, my husband purchased a accidental death policy, he fell getting out of our shower & developed a huge hematoma as a result of that Fall & bled internally. His death certificate says Accidental Death & scumbag Mutual of Omaha denied the claim after tormenting me & running me around for over a year.. they are scum. I have all of the advertisements for the insurance coverage. It's disturbing & they need to be sued. I need a attorney that practices law in NJ.
Hello! I have a question please. For example if the deer hit you and it run away after and your a third party insurance. Can you cancel your insurance anytime without any payment or problem in the future? What do you mean by mid term penalty? Thank you and i hope you can help me explaining about this matter
Same question do you practice in NYC or could recommend another attorney that does practice in NYC. My personal injury attorney made an illegal settlement with an insurance company behind my back and had the nerve to sent me a closing statement on a case that he butchered in one Appalled Court till it was dismissed. Since I didn’t want to let him of the hook and continue asking him of the name of the insurance company that he sent me to for a medical examination that he categorically refused to give me any information, instead he send me a 100% FALSE closing statement that he actually filed with the NY Courts Administration . In the closing statement he falsely stated that the my case that he dragged for 10 years has no court index # that there was no decision on my case - false again and that I had abandoned the $1,000 000 personal on the job accident case that left me in in debilitating suffering 😢and my post injuries are just intensifying….He claims on the fist page of the fictitious closing statement that there was no settlement on my case , yet he paid himself $13,500 legal fees paid from the plaintiff’s part of the settlement ( that being me😢) He also claims that he paid the outstanding medical bills on my behalf also from the plaintiff’s part of the settlement but he did not even bather to attach fictitious itemized list to this paragraph. I asked one of the doctors who O owed some medical if my attorney paid him and he started laughing 😂how naïve I could be , and of course he did not pay this doctor a dime from the settlement that he grabbed all to himself. The saddest part of my case is that I can’t find one attorney in NYC who would help me to sick justice in my case, because the attorney is not only a thief but also a bully and he discouraged all attorneys that would call him regarding my case that he would sue them if they don’t back off from getting involved in his client’s case 😢How outrageous is this while I can hardly make it through a day trying to control the excruciating physical and emotional pain to be betrayed by an corrupted heartless attorney 😢 Please help
I was in a car wreck, roughly a little over three years ago. Multiple of the Covid lockdowns happen and I was clipped on the highway run 75 miles an hour hit a guard rail driver door for split five or six times was out of work for five months and dumb. Gary Martin Hays don’t seem to be pulling his weight if you understand what I’m saying.
I have a jury trial coming up and everything that you just said about having the insured not in their best interest and that the contract is not restricted from following the law can that be said to the jury or is it considered quoting the law
The Insurance Companies only pay if you have a mortgage. If you own your property. Even if you have never had an insurance claim ever, and you have paid for homeowners for over 25 years. They victimized me after already being victimized.
I called them with my auto accident, I was rear ended and I was told that my car had very little damage, despite having a spinal cord injury they declined my case, my personal opinion is be careful who you hire as an attorney.
sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Eric Bryan thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Love it Awesome Job! Bravo Take it to the END.. Insurance companies n their lawyers are was past any negative joke about any other type lawyers out there. Period.
What happened to the homeowner?? Did they continue their lawsuit against him after paying you $30,000.00?? I would love to know if they dropped their suit against the homeowner. Does anyone know? He said "the whole thing went away" - but did that mean just for him, or also his client (previous client).
What would I be call if your work insurance take $720 from your paycheck with out your permission? For 7 week, you was not covered for. In you employer won't help you get it back.
I agreed to a certain amount of money per month and their system was down and they couldn't send me the ensign documents so after two attempts they still didn't send me the documents. They said because I didn't ensign the documents they raised my quote to 187 dollars a month and that's not what I agreed to and they are telling other auto insurance companies that I owe them 300 dollars when in fact I canceled it when I saw they were going to raise the price. They said that I didn't cancel them but I did the guy I spoke with didn't cancel it after I told him to to,I shouldn't be held accountable for their incompetent employees, after talking with 6 different employees none of them were even on the same page with me or themselves. Now I'm screwed over because of that incompetent employee.I would never pay a high price for liability insurance 62 dollars a month is what I was told then they changed it without my consent. Can I do anything about this?
My BMW i8 has rebuilt title at the time Jan 5 2021 of the accident and an appraisal of $101,000. The insurance was only worth $50k I requested them to write a check and I auction the car but the adjuster. Claim I take it to a shop for evaluation. I sighed documents at the shop but never authorized the insurance to repair. The insurance sent a check of about $20k to the shop to repair. Come June trying to get my car they told me they will be repairing the vehicle since I signed the documents at drop-off. After repair in December I took the car for state inspection of the recommended BMW certified technician. BMW deemed the vehicle not repaired and all crashed parts were never replaced. Am stuck new appraisal wortg $34,000 and a check for diminished value for $6,000. I cashed out the check yet I don't know what to do.
If insurance is a contract why is the policy not showing the maximum amount of the insured amount? What is your case citation? Are all judgments in USA signed by judges. It used to happen in UK but they don't do it now. Who paid your costs??
What if you catch your insurance broker company lying about policy prices. I was maybe "accidentally" sent an email from the insurance company stating my car insurance is $132 a month but my broker has been telling me my insurance is $328 a month. For the past 3 YEARS! Is that fraud on their part?
Hello Sir, I was in a small car accident and have full coverage, I am the owner of the car, however Progressive insurance has lied and said I'm not listed on my own policy and refuses to pay. What can I do? Thank you
I just ran across this video and it's amazing what's going on out there thank you so much for your contribution there I'm hoping that I'll get some other videos here that will help to steer me in the right direction about a possible bad faith situation against me by Geico
We have a problem with a turm policy from an insurance company. The problem is, I thought that when the policy lapted, then that was the end of it. I believed if you wanted more insurance, YOU haded to initiate the process your self. Like I said, that endnd of that term periad. However, I have found out that our policy continued with a much larger premiiumm. I thought that when it lapsed, and that the holder of the policy was the only one who could reinitiate a new policy The reason w hy I am posting is to help people know that even though your policy has lapsed, they can continue taking money at a higher lever without your consent. Thanks for hearing me. If possible, please leave a comment on this post Thanks!

However, even though there were no injuries, they are stalling and haven't accepted liability and are still " investigating" pending their liability decision". First, they claimed that the policy the woman gave to the cop didn't cover that specific vehicle. Then, a few days later, they said that the policy for that car was new and there had been an administrative error on their part and they would "fix" it which of course they still haven't. Our car was brand new and sustained $5500 worth in damages which I am sure is the reason they are also stalling. We plan on filing a Diminished Value claim after the repairs are completed next week. I know it won't be easy getting them to pay but we won't let that stop us. What bothers me is that we still have to fork out our $500 deductible when we pick up the car from the body shop and we may not get it back for several months assuming they decide to accept liability and since we subrogated to our insurance GEICO, they are also at the mercy of them and whether or not they "choose" to admit liability and get their money back. I know you are an attorney, but it doesn't make sense to me how the law allows them to do this!
@@karimaogden3875 Private companies are businesses that seek profit, which is why some countries in the world have state insurance companies, which are more secure.
Thank God almighty, for honorable Men who fight for what is correct under the law. Great Video
Now this was good ... educated knowledgeable man
Lula commercial insurance is definitely one of these types of insurance
I have a serious question I was involved in a crash where I was the injured party missed multiple weeks of work my vehicle was totaled. It was the other driver's fault my insurance told me I was guilty and just now 5 months later I find out that the other drivers insurance is not even going to pay anything because he was driving for Uber and they are insured by the same company that ensures me.
Which means they have a conflict of interest because my injuries and damages far exceed the other drivers. I'll take any advice I can get
You explained that so clearly, I never was lost throughout the whole video; I wish more Lawyers could do that.
I do not know if you answer questions, but if you do, I really appreciate it on this. If your auto insurance gives you your knew quote for the next 6 months and you accept and make the first payment; then when the next payment is due, they send you an email for a payment of $45 more than the stated payments agreed on, and it is this amount for the next 4 months, but the autopay is set for the agreed upon payments. Then you check your account and they have literally changed the payments scheduled amounts to this new payment, what can I, the insured, do regarding this, for this is corruption at the highest level?
Thank you and appreciate your video as well sir.
P.S. Best story ever, I could listen to you for hours. Thanks
Wow. I loved that story. Could be a movie. Glad everything finally worked out for your client.
While traveling in my RV I was in an accident on February 9th 2023
I have had FULL TIME RV INSURANCE with Progressive and reported the accident.
The adjuster was sent out two weeks later after filing the claim to assess damages which were written incorrectly and not thoroughly conducted.
2 weeks later after I was told my policy was under investigation for misrepresentation
My agent from Progressive would not give me any other information. I attempted numerous times to get a hold of my insurance agents supervisor, but never received a response back. I received a letter stating my policy has been terminated due to my not owning an additional vehicle other than my RV.
They say I signed documents that stated this, but I opened the policy up by the phone NEVER SIGNING ANYTHING
They refuse to give me copies of what was so called "signed"
I had a previous RV insured with progressive for three years...aren't they aware after five months or three years that I don't own an additional vehicle? This is completely unfair and I am having a really DIFFICULT TIME finding legal help. ANY RESOURCES ARE SUPER APPRECIATED!!!
UNABLE TO DRIVE I AM STRANDED AND NEED ASSISTANCE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU
Hi, I'm with progressive and my rv was stolen and they denied me bc I said I made a phone call to my brother at 6:37, when I said the tire blew out between 7 and 8. They said my timeline was inconsistent! 23 min!!!!
I left the rv and came back at 11:30 and it was gone!!! I can't believe they can deny my case over an inconsistent time frame of only 23min!!!
Did you get your case resolved??
.... I am an Insurance Broker and Agency owner since 1977. When my clients are the injured party, and injured plaintiff against another insurance carrier - I do not know of any Law Firm more worthy & tenacious of representing my clients then Finkelstein & Partners Law Firm.
Excellent story!!! Reminds me of the stories my business law prof told us in college!
God how I would have love it if you represented me, instead of the ????? that I got. Almost 2yrs, about 10 return calls, emails and text in total from my attorney. I last told them back in Sept, I wanted to sue, haven't heard from them. I search to see if I can fire them and do it on my own, and that's how I got to you. Because now, the quack of a doctor that they sent me too, is wanting his money and not getting a return call as well. I got rear ended at a red light stop, and the lady was on the phone search for the location, she was getting to when she hit us, she took full responsibility and her insurance too! Im at a lost?? Thank you for all the information you shared.
I am currently on the same boat
Hello, can you practice law in Utah?
Thank you this is a great video!! Coverage B other stucture, bank holding us responsible for total rebuild cost.

Thanks 100%.
You a good person.
Yes don't bother with their excuses.
You did what was right.
That's a lot of power you have in your hand.
Excellente explanation!!!! You given me slot to think ABOUT!!! 👍
This is the best story on the internet...
Good video ,,,,,and a even better story,,,
Council, if a defense attorney represents a management company and a apartment complex in two lawsuits is this legal or normal? Do they normally merge both or try each one separately? two insurance policies. thank you
I purchased a new car 6 months ago and I went back to the same agent that I had my previous insurance with. We first asked about full coverage. It was almost 2,000$. Then, I said, okay, what about just state minimum with roadside? He claimed that it was still high. Almost $1,000. No accidents, no tickets.
Fast forward to today, I thought I only had state minimum. Apparently, he set my limits at $100,000 and I basically had full coverage. Uninsured motorist, comprehensive, etc. And, my date of birth was wrong on the policy. It wasn't wrong in my first policy. He had to change it. We never saw what we were paying for, he simply wrote down a number and said that's what it would cost.
Do I have a case?
I’m going through this right now I can’t find any lawyers to represent me in my county what should I do
WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! VERY INTERESTING STORY.
Good story and god bless you
Thanks for the video and thanks for explaining Bad Faith. Could you make a video on Bad Faith in regard to Homeowners insurance adjuster who under pay storm damage?
Great video! Been dealing with a trader joes worker that smashed a cart into my car and is claiming injury. First started with $7000 in injuries thens $12000 now its at $20000 and still haven’t heard anything from my insurance.
They will postpone things until the status of limitations are reached and they no longer liable to a claim
Blue Cross Blue Shield cancelled my policy the same day I had a coronary CT scan. This is an “”ACA-compliant” plan. This is very bad faith. What are my options?
Thank you this was very helpful and informative 👍👍
I am a consumer. The adjuster was in bed with the Repair Network that issues the checks to the contractor and with the contractor. When we call the contractor, the adjuster returns the phone call. The adjuster paid the contractor $50k to reroof a 1340 square ft residential roof. $20k to the contractor to fir out the interior walls. $17k to the contractor for the rough electric. $25k to the Network for overseeing the disbursement of the money. It has taken 2 years and the project is half complete, just the studs are showing. We only signed for 2 payment releases that totaled $50k and the adjuster says there is approx $22k left on the $145k claim and sent us the check to finish because we said we didn't want the contractor back.
Is there any recourse against this adjuster? Who do we call? We can't afford a lawyer.
Excellent story Counselor!!! Thank you for sharing!
Can I have a lawyer like you in los angeles
I had a long term care insurance defraud me 3 years ago, after $16000 in premiums!!! I am relatively healthy!Can I still go back to retrieve that policy?
This was a good story, but damn people have to wait 4 to 5 years just to get what was rightly theirs... SMH.. I'm going through that right now with a trucking company that smashed in to me and knocked me 50 yards off the road...
Smart lawyer. I'll hire you quick.
16:22 I don’t give a fuck what you think, I’m dead. This is amazing! Thank you for this video. It’s highly informative. I’m currently going through an ugly process with my homeowners policy. Your video has been very informative.
I need to sue for bad faith, my husband purchased a accidental death policy, he fell getting out of our shower & developed a huge hematoma as a result of that Fall & bled internally. His death certificate says Accidental Death & scumbag Mutual of Omaha denied the claim after tormenting me & running me around for over a year.. they are scum. I have all of the advertisements for the insurance coverage. It's disturbing & they need to be sued. I need a attorney that practices law in NJ.
Hello! I have a question please. For example if the deer hit you and it run away after and your a third party insurance. Can you cancel your insurance anytime without any payment or problem in the future? What do you mean by mid term penalty? Thank you and i hope you can help me explaining about this matter
Do you practice in NYC?
????
Same question do you practice in NYC or could recommend another attorney that does practice in NYC. My personal injury attorney made an illegal settlement with an insurance company behind my back and had the nerve to sent me a closing statement on a case that he butchered in one Appalled Court till it was dismissed. Since I didn’t want to let him of the hook and continue asking him of the name of the insurance company that he sent me to for a medical examination that he categorically refused to give me any information, instead he send me a 100% FALSE closing statement that he actually filed with the NY Courts Administration . In the closing statement he falsely stated that the my case that he dragged for 10 years has no court index # that there was no decision on my case - false again and that I had abandoned the $1,000 000 personal on the job accident case that left me in in debilitating suffering 😢and my post injuries are just intensifying….He claims on the fist page of the fictitious closing statement that there was no settlement on my case , yet he paid himself $13,500 legal fees paid from the plaintiff’s part of the settlement ( that being me😢) He also claims that he paid the outstanding medical bills on my behalf also from the plaintiff’s part of the settlement but he did not even bather to attach fictitious itemized list to this paragraph. I asked one of the doctors who O owed some medical if my attorney paid him and he started laughing 😂how naïve I could be , and of course he did not pay this doctor a dime from the settlement that he grabbed all to himself. The saddest part of my case is that I can’t find one attorney in NYC who would help me to sick justice in my case, because the attorney is not only a thief but also a bully and he discouraged all attorneys that would call him regarding my case that he would sue them if they don’t back off from getting involved in his client’s case 😢How outrageous is this while I can hardly make it through a day trying to control the excruciating physical and emotional pain to be betrayed by an corrupted heartless attorney 😢 Please help
I was in a car wreck, roughly a little over three years ago. Multiple of the Covid lockdowns happen and I was clipped on the highway run 75 miles an hour hit a guard rail driver door for split five or six times was out of work for five months and dumb. Gary Martin Hays don’t seem to be pulling his weight if you understand what I’m saying.
My new internet hero. Man....do I have a story to tell as of current. Do you initiate clientele outta state?
PLEASE CAN YOU DO A ML. PRACTICE MEDICAL CASE? Even if you don't do them.
I have a jury trial coming up and everything that you just said about having the insured not in their best interest and that the contract is not restricted from following the law can that be said to the jury or is it considered quoting the law
Love this...thank you for this inspiring story.
The Insurance Companies only pay if you have a mortgage. If you own your property. Even if you have never had an insurance claim ever, and you have paid for homeowners for over 25 years. They victimized me after already being victimized.
Did you resolve issue with the insurance company?
I called them with my auto accident, I was rear ended and I was told that my car had very little damage, despite having a spinal cord injury they declined my case, my personal opinion is be careful who you hire as an attorney.
sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account??

Can third party insurer cancel anytime his insurance because it doesnt protect his best interest of his life
Love it Awesome Job! Bravo Take it to the END..
Insurance companies n their lawyers are was past any negative joke about any other type lawyers out there. Period.
Someone hit my car totally my car but insurance denied me because their client licenses is revoked or not valid . What does that have to do with me
What happened to the homeowner?? Did they continue their lawsuit against him after paying you $30,000.00?? I would love to know if they dropped their suit against the homeowner. Does anyone know? He said "the whole thing went away" - but did that mean just for him, or also his client (previous client).
Syracuse NY!! represent law !
Can you help cases from UK?
Hey, Would this apply to someone else's insurance towards. When the other party is a fault and your not but they want to blame you by 51%?
Loved this video truly!

You are a bad ass I love it I need a lawyer like you
AMAZING video. Super helpful sir. Thank you.
What would I be call if your work insurance take $720 from your paycheck with out your permission? For 7 week, you was not covered for. In you employer won't help you get it back.
I agreed to a certain amount of money per month and their system was down and they couldn't send me the ensign documents so after two attempts they still didn't send me the documents. They said because I didn't ensign the documents they raised my quote to 187 dollars a month and that's not what I agreed to and they are telling other auto insurance companies that I owe them 300 dollars when in fact I canceled it when I saw they were going to raise the price. They said that I didn't cancel them but I did the guy I spoke with didn't cancel it after I told him to to,I shouldn't be held accountable for their incompetent employees, after talking with 6 different employees none of them were even on the same page with me or themselves. Now I'm screwed over because of that incompetent employee.I would never pay a high price for liability insurance 62 dollars a month is what I was told then they changed it without my consent. Can I do anything about this?
My BMW i8 has rebuilt title at the time Jan 5 2021 of the accident and an appraisal of $101,000. The insurance was only worth $50k I requested them to write a check and I auction the car but the adjuster. Claim I take it to a shop for evaluation. I sighed documents at the shop but never authorized the insurance to repair. The insurance sent a check of about $20k to the shop to repair. Come June trying to get my car they told me they will be repairing the vehicle since I signed the documents at drop-off. After repair in December I took the car for state inspection of the recommended BMW certified technician. BMW deemed the vehicle not repaired and all crashed parts were never replaced. Am stuck new appraisal wortg $34,000 and a check for diminished value for $6,000. I cashed out the check yet I don't know what to do.
i have TBI and dont understand :(
If insurance is a contract why is the policy not showing the maximum amount of the insured amount? What is your case citation? Are all judgments in USA signed by judges. It used to happen in UK but they don't do it now. Who paid your costs??
What if you catch your insurance broker company lying about policy prices. I was maybe "accidentally" sent an email from the insurance company stating my car insurance is $132 a month but my broker has been telling me my insurance is $328 a month. For the past 3 YEARS! Is that fraud on their part?
Hello Sir, I was in a small car accident and have full coverage, I am the owner of the car, however Progressive insurance has lied and said I'm not listed on my own policy and refuses to pay. What can I do? Thank you
Does that work with medical also
Very Good. Like to see him do a M Practice case.
I just ran across this video and it's amazing what's going on out there thank you so much for your contribution there I'm hoping that I'll get some other videos here that will help to steer me in the right direction about a possible bad faith situation against me by Geico
I feel that the only way to break their greed.is to double the amount that the amount owed to the individual.😊
What was the insurance company!?
We have a problem with a turm policy from an insurance company. The problem is, I thought that when the policy lapted, then that was the end of it. I believed if you wanted more insurance, YOU haded to initiate the process your self. Like I said, that endnd of that term periad. However, I have found out that our policy continued with a much larger premiiumm. I thought that when it lapsed, and that the holder of the policy was the only one who could reinitiate a new policy The reason w hy I am posting is to help people know that even though your policy has lapsed, they can continue taking money at a higher lever without your consent. Thanks for hearing me. If possible, please leave a comment on this post Thanks!
Thanks Finkelstien&Partners!! Wow !!!, if i had the sort Talent ,Intelligent intelligible Educated Mind like You? Let me Think ? i can't lol.
