Deny & Buy

What you need to know from lawyers who once were on the other side.


Deny & Buy gives you the inside scoop so you know what you're up against when you are involved in a workers' comp case.

You may be saying to yourself, "Oh, my employer is so nice and he's always fair. I won't have any problem with my workers' comp claim." Well, you may have the best boss in the world, but it's the business' insurance company who pays your claim. And they don't pay easily. Actually, their goal is quite often to not pay anything -- or at the very most, next to nothing. You need the perspective of how the other side operates.

Why did Tom Clare, Devin Thomas and Lou Waple make the drastic change from representing insurance companies to now be serving injured workers? They want deserving people to get much-need medical treatment, workers' comp checks and good settlements that compensate for the worker's injuries. In this 46-page book, you'll find info about how many rehab specialists and adjustors manage cases to benefit insurance companies and when to know you need an attorney. You'll get tips on when to comply with their requests and when to question procedures. Sometimes adjustors will only tell you what they want you to know. It's not unlawful -- it's just not always the complete picture.

Deny & Buy

The title of the book gets to the heart of the goal of insurance companies and their legal accomplices. Deny the claim, then delay it as long as possible and eventually buy the client with a cheap settlement. By dragging out payment for your claim with unnecessary doctor visits or by giving you the run around from a vocational rehabilitation professional with your job search, you're most often worn out and near desperation for any money.

Read the book and see what you think. Give us a call or send an email and ask to meet with Tom, Lou, Devin or any of our attorneys to see if we can help you. Remember, we represent injured workers AND we also have first-hand knowledge of how defense attorneys operate.
