Common defense tactics & how we counter them
-
Minimizing injuries: Insurers may contend your injuries are preexisting or exaggerated — we use medical experts and objective records to refute that.
-
Disputing causation or fault: Opposing parties may shift blame or argue multiple causes — we deconstruct those claims logically and with evidence.
-
Delaying tactics: We push for timely resolution and hold parties accountable for stalling.
