Fifty Shades of Grey

The legal market is rarely black and white. But nowhere is the grey more pervasive than in the case of insurance disputes.

If you are injured and your injury is covered by an insurance policy, the insurance company typically assigns you a lawyer in order to handle your claim. But does that lawyer represent you or the insurance company who is footing the bill for the legal work?

In most states, the lawyer is bound to represent you—not the insurance company. However, the lawyer may still feel pressure to meet the expectations of the insurance company in order to curry favor—and future jobs—from the deep-pocketed insurer.

If you’re concerned that your lawyer has an insurance company’s best interests in mind rather than yours contact our office to get more information about your potential legal malpractice claim.
