Insurance bureaucrats won't give up. The insurance business will react, as to some extent it already has, by putting defense counsel on the payroll. That won't help. Such counsel still represent the insured. Carriers' willingness to risk lawyers' licenses will increase.
Many battles remain.
In addition, the word will get out inevitably. Unhappy clients, perhaps those hit with judgments of more than policy limits, will think themselves inadequately defended by insurance lawyers. They will realize that depositions were too few, research too scanty, expertise too slight, and preparation too modest. They'll chase defense counsel for resulting damages. They may chase their insurance companies as well, claiming breach of contract or unfair practices.
