Energy On The Offensive™ #026 - Is Your Company A Target Or Deterrent?

Broken Insurance Industry.

Most insurance companies do a poor job of handling liability claims. They are reactive and try to spend as little money as possible. Meanwhile, the plaintiff's attorney is spending money to hire the best experts and build a case not about the facts of the accident but picking apart every vulnerability they can find (or manufacturer) on your company.

Cases are won or lost in deposition.

Since 99% of cases do not go to trial, the depositions set the stage for the entire case. The way for your company to win these battles is to shore up every potential attack or theory on which the plaintiff's attorney will attempt to build an argument. Last year, we went to lunch with a plaintiff's attorney to pick his brain. He confirmed that he could quickly pick up if a company was prepared and it would be a hard fight (deterrent) or if he would easily have his way with the case (target).

We can’t wait around for tort reform.

Tort reform needs to happen. Some reform has happened, but it’s a slow process, and the plaintiff’s bar quickly finds ways around it.

Deterrent— 9 ways to help make your company bulletproof, but unless implemented, it is useless.

How to make your company a deterrent.

Plaintiff attorneys share strategies and tactics with each other. We found a way to get behind the scenes and study hours of this material. For example, we watched the two-and-a-half-hour training on how the attorneys won the $10M verdict against Marvin Keller (114 power units). We have reverse-engineered these strategies and put together Target Vs. Deterrent – 9 ways to help make your company bulletproof.
