00:04
one of the
00:05
most rewarding aspects of the practice
00:08
is making a difference in
00:11
people’s lives so people tend to come to
00:15
us
00:15
after they have been seriously injured
00:18
sometimes they’ve been through maybe the
00:21
worst tragedy
00:22
of their entire lives sometimes they
00:25
have
00:27
just lost a loved one maybe they just
00:30
spent
00:30
a month in the hospital because they
00:33
were in a
00:34
really bad crash maybe they just learned
00:37
that their baby is going to require
00:41
lifelong medical care because of a
00:44
doctor’s
00:46
mistake and so they don’t know
00:49
what to do next they don’t know who to
00:51
trust
00:53
so we step in and we
00:57
work with the people and we help them
01:01
get through and navigate through these
01:03
difficult
01:05
situations we are trying to
01:09
get increase their financial
01:13
recovery and by doing that
01:16
we give our clients a lot of freedom and
01:19
choice
01:20
in in decisions that they get to make
01:22
later on and so for example
01:25
a client could
01:28
purchase medical care or therapies that
01:31
are
01:33
unavailable through their health
01:34
insurance they can hire someone to
01:37
help around the house because they’re no
01:40
longer able to
01:40
do all the work they used to do
01:43
sometimes they could actually buy
01:44
a house that fits their needs so i think
01:48
that’s
01:48
that’s the most rewarding aspect of of
01:50
the practice
01:57
a piece of advice that i repeatedly give
01:59
to my clients
02:00
is to stop talking to the insurance
02:05
company the insurance companies spend
02:08
a lot of money on advertising they they
02:12
have
02:12
cute lizards they have these funny
02:15
characters
02:16
on tv and that’s all there so that you
02:18
feel comfortable
02:20
talking to the insurance company they
02:22
want you to feel like they’re there to
02:23
help you
02:24
like you’re in good hands for example
02:27
but those
02:27
those good hands become boxing gloves
02:30
very quickly
02:31
you’ll find out that they’re not really
02:33
there to help you
02:34
they don’t want to help you they will be
02:38
extremely difficult to work with
02:40
and they will absolutely take any
02:43
advantage of your inexperience so that’s
02:46
why i tell people not to talk to the
02:47
insurance company
