Why MaxSettlementsFaster by Reed Law Firm?
We spent years as lawyers for insurance companies. This gives us unique knowledge. We know the business strategies they use to preserve profit, including making representatives use their playbook and work specific angles to get you to a settlement before your claim has been built to its maximum value. This means less money for you – the injured victim – and more profit for them.
Today, we work on behalf of individuals like you and have spent the last 25+ years fighting for accident victims.
4 Victim Traps Leading to the Cycle of Re-victimization
Many injury and accident victims fail to grasp the gravity of their situation and the common mistakes waiting to ensnare them; especially medical debts and liens which threaten to wipe out their hard-fought settlements.
- An initial injury or accident which you aren’t responsible for leaves injuries, damages, and uncertainty in its wake.
- Logical but incorrect assumptions based on life experience leads your handling of medical treatments and billing astray.
- The insurance “playbook” takes advantage of victim “confusion by design” and desperation to put life back to normal quickly.
- Compounded, the effects of 1-3 painfully settle in: you’re undertreated, not fully healed, and left holding crushing medical debts and liens.
YES – this nightmare plays out all too often. In too many cases, we’re involved too late and the victims end up buried in debts that even generous settlements don’t resolve.
4 Key Burdens of Proof We Must Prove
While most cases never go to litigation (trial in court), to obtain your max settlement faster we’ll still need a strong case. To qualify for a valid injury case in the state of Oregon, we must prove 4 things and the burden of proof is on us. These include:
- Duty of Care
- Breach of Duty
- Recoverable Damages
- Causation
