Read moreWhat an Ex-Claims-Adjuster Brings to Your Case
Before Derek Simms was a trial attorney, he was a senior bodily-injury claims adjuster for a major auto insurer. That means he has personally sat on the other side of the negotiating table — deciding what a claim was "worth" before the insurance company had to pay it.
That insight doesn't disappear once you become our client. We know which companies fight every claim in litigation and which prefer to settle, how adjusters build a file to minimize a payout, and how to counter it. We use that knowledge to help investigate your claim, act as an intermediary between you and the insurer, and pursue the full value of your case — whether it settles or goes to trial.
