Car accidents, slips, trips and falls on premises, construction accidents, nursing home abuse, medical malpractice, birth injury cases, motorcycle accidents, injuries from unsafe business premises, apartment buildings and like. All these, and more are instances of personal injury related to the area of law where society demands that a person be compensated when they are injured from situations where people don’t do what is reasonable to protect from hurting other people.
How can the Law Office of David Wasser help?
While you are deciding on which attorney to use, the insurance company has their people out contacting witnesses. They are attempting to influence them, attempting damage control, and finally, investigating you to show that you’re a bad person… that you have had judgments against you (probably because your accident stopped you from being able to pay your doctors’ bills), that you are divorced and that your ex-husband or ex-wife thinks that you’re a bad person, that your neighbors don’t like you etc. That is what they are doing.
What do I do? Simply put, I fight to prevent them from doing those things.
Notable Case: David (Wasser) against Goliath
Insurance companies (Goliath) play dirty, and they have the money to do so. No matter what the truth is, they have a doctor in their pocket to say the exact opposite and an expert to say up is down and black is white. They hire the same Doctors over and over and pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars for “Independent Medical Exams” to show that you are not hurt and that you are lying and making up injuries. They have the power to destroy, and they are willing to use that power (just ask Hurricane Katrina Victims…”We are offering you $5,000 for your $100,000 loss Mr. Homeowner… I guess you could sue us, but it will take years…oh well”). They bend the law to do their bidding: when you go into court, juries cannot be told that the real defendant is the insurance company, instead they are told it is the insured driver, a sweet old woman for example.
Notable case: My client had her daughter and granddaughter die in a home fire where they were living in a basement apartment.
The insurance company attorney sent the following letter, which reads in part. “Dear Mr. Wasser… The purpose of this letter is to advise you that if our clients are forced to defend this matter, we will seek sanctions (money from me) against you as well as your client. Please respond to this letter no later than December 9, 2011.”
My response, in part:
Dear Sir,
You indicated this case is merit-less and you have threatened me personally with sanctions. You immediately filed a motion to dismiss forcing me to expend substantial efforts in responding; you a barrage my office with constant communications regarding this case and accuse me a professional misconduct. … I wish you to know the following: I will not back down and will not be threatened or bullied to abandon my client’s case which I believe not only has merit, but that I will absolutely win. You have thrown down the gauntlet, kicked sand in my face, challenged me to a duel, and I respond by saying… Bring it on, take your best shot. I will see you in court where I will battle to the (metaphorical) death.
P.S. Strong letter to follow
That’s right, they wrote this in a case where my client lost her daughter and 4-year-old granddaughter in the basement fire of their insured’s house which was built in 1927 and packed with people. Witnesses said that the fire alarms were not working and that the homeowners had made the fire door inoperable, so people in the basement could not escape the fire.
Once I filed a lawsuit and began preparations for a jury trial they wrote a check for the entire insurance coverage on the property!
