Thanks Tom. I wish I would have heard this several years ago when the accident that destroyed my life happened, but I'm glad other people are hearing it now.

I wish I would have seen this almost a year ago when I had my accident.
No lawyer wants to take my case because I'm going up against the city. I unfortunately gave a recorded statement to the adjuster, but he was also there with me in person, been supplying him with records of doctors appointments and now that I'm able to walk again without a cane I no longer need the pain clinic. I'm submitting my last appointment record to them when it comes in then I wait to hear their decision.
I only asked for compensation for what I could have been making at work but have no idea how to fight back when they try to shaft me.

Wouldn't the full recording come out in discovery, letting you show the rest of the clip and demonstrate their deception?

[raaston]

sounds like laws need to be made to fix this problem

[allthingshiphop]

ok so if you dont give a statement and dont wanna hire a lawyer wth do i do?

[theexnay]

If i don't work with the insurance company then my only option is to sue them. And even if i sue them i think i have to at some point inform them of my damages and how much I'm asking for.

Is there a way to give the insurance company a chance to do the right thing whilst also keeping options open to sue them if needed?

What is the correct course of action if the damages are large enough to make a claim but too small to warrant suing if they refuse?

[terrencemilton]

No worries. A recorded statement can save you

[irvingchies]

Idk why this got recommended to me but it was weird after watching so many of your new content

[poisonpotato]

Hello ladies and gentlemen of the jury virgin

Whats up yall, Attorney Tom chad

[RipleySawzen]

I want to punch in the face the judge that allows this evidence. "I'm doing fine" is a common English reply that has absolutely nothing to do with whether you are fine or not. It's also obviously not full evidence and completely out of context. It's like if they record you and for one frame you're smiling and they show that one frame in court. How is this allowed? I refuse to believe it. A partial spoken or written sentence should never be allowed as evidence.
