[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here again. As I said earlier, my attorney was superlawyer which 40+ years of experience. Medical malpractice against a doctor/hospital had a cap of $2 million at that time but no cap against the device manufacturer.

I am telling what I have seen happening in my case and a couple of others in family/friends. You don't have to try if you don't want to but others who care about their money would. [/quote]

Um, superlawyer is just another form of attorney advertising. And 40+ years experience means they're semi-retired, and signals to the other side that they're not going to trial.

I'm glad that you think a couple anecdotes makes you an expert [/quote]

DP, whose an insurance coverage attorney. I negotiate settlements of professional liability claims on behalf of insured all the time.  PP is correct that the attorney who will negotiate their contingency or rates below market is a crap attorney.  Sure, they’ll offer you a lower fee, but they make it up by putting minimal work into the case.  When we get these, we just sit on it while defense counsel drives up your attorney’s costs so that your attorney can’t wait to get out of it.  Then we’ll go to mediation and offer a fraction of our settlement authority, which your attorney will take because it’s not worth the extra hours to him to negotiate for more.  [/quote]
