Insurance Companies

Spinal cord injury cases typically involve defendant insurance companies. Insurance companies do not like spinal cord injury claims because they are very costly. In an effort to reduce their costs, insurance companies often try to deny or limit their liability. They frequently argue that the injury victim’s negligence caused or contributed to the accident. It is also typical for insurance companies to call into question the validity and extent of injuries sustained. Our attorneys are not afraid to stand up to insurance companies.
