Getting Hosed by an Insurance Defense Lawyer
June 12, 2004 by Bob Christensen
When you are getting paid to cause Plaintiff’s attorneys to fall off the train, insurance defense lawyers have developed the most disgraceful tactics to invade the privacy of injured accident clients.
The insurance companies and their attorneys seek and the courts routinely allow access to gynecological, psychological and totally unrelated medical records to the case at issue.
Imagine a broken leg and the insurance company wants to see your STD’s records. This is what is going on. There is an incredible anti-Plaintiff (injury) bias in Minnesota.
Perhaps it is good for business in this country to deny justice to poor and people with noxious social diseases.
But should this ever be a justifiable public policy? Who will speak for the voiceless and oppressed if not the independent trial lawyer who is not beholden to the fixed justice of the powerful.
