All too often, medical insurance claimants believe that if they are always upfront and honest, or if they are making their first ever claim, the medical insurance company will be likely to take their side. Of course, honesty is always the best policy, but so is understanding that insurance companies approach every claim with suspicion, no matter how clear cut the details are to you. That’s why it’s so important to have an experienced medical malpractice lawyer on your side.
Rusty Reynolds recently joined host Daniel Gouw on the Verdict Signal podcast to talk all things medical insurance, medical malpractice, and how insurance companies really evaluate claims. In this far-reaching discussion, Rusty and Daniel cover:
- How claims “work” from the insurance company side.
- How having an experienced trial lawyer on your side significantly changes the dynamic.
- Why many claimants feel guilty hiring a lawyer – and why they shouldn’t!
- The difference between medical complications and genuine malpractice.
- The hazy gray areas of medical consent forms.
- Much, much more.
