Injury victims are seeing increasing threats from unethical lawyers and medical providers. The last few years have seen a rise in undercover stories and lawsuits about lawyers who, sometimes working through chiropractors, illegally solicit personal injury clients.
We have also seen a rise in attorneys (often those who advertise on TV or in the Yellow Pages) who want to run a volume practice. They may try to represent as many clients as possible, and settle claims as early as possible, even when it isn’t in the client’s best interest. If it becomes obvious that they cannot easily settle the claims, these lawyers will often fire the clients. This can prevent accident victims in Austin from getting the maximum value for their personal injury claims, especially when insurance companies know the attorney is not willing to pursue the case through litigation.
Unfortunately, the problem extends to some in the medical community. For example, in 2004, Allstate Insurance Company won a fraud lawsuit against one of Texas’s largest chiropractic chains. The suit alleged that the chiropractors conspired with doctors and others to churn up medical expenses for injury victims, which were eventually paid by Allstate.
