Posted By: I will take my chances on

I will take my chances on insurance type people over attorneys any day when it comes to honesty. I have had over 20 years experience with both and although I know there are "bad ones" in the insurance industry, I guess I have been fortunate to have worked at companies that did not look at how to get out of paying claims but to process them if the coverage was there and there was no fraud involved (there is alot of that you know). On the other hand, those same 20 years gave me many experiences with attorneys as well and when they know there are pockets out there to empty, regardless of whether or not there is cause, they do their best to do so without thought of the word indemnity and how it relates to insurance and losses. Yes there are some good attorneys but in my experience, there are more out there looking out for their own greedy selves than those who are truly trying to help the insured or claimant as they claim to be doing. Attorneys who scavenge policies to try and find loopholes and then advertise them on TV to get the free lunch bums to come on in and file suits
