Insurance companies typically make a portion of their profits from investing
the premiums paid by their policyholders. Insurance companies invest in
the stock market and other markets that historically offer a good rate
of return. Consequently, when the return on their investments suffer,
so does their ability and willingness to pay claims. Along with other
factors, what this means to the claimant is that insurance companies are
now, more than ever, tightening their belts and disputing even more claims.
So, when researching what law firm should best represent you, make sure
you know that the law firm understands the big picture and is willing
and prepared to fight hard to maximize your claim.
