The Insurance Company for the Party that Caused the Collision is Denying My Claim Can I Still be Compensated?

01-20-2018

Most of the times the answer is yes. 

I say most of the times because in our experience most of the times the insurance companies deny many claims that should have not be denied in the first place. The reason? Money. The insurance companies are in the business of increasing profitability for their shareholders. They don't care about anything else. 

For that reason, if there is a slight chance that they can get away from not paying a claimant they will. We have handled many claims that the insurance companies have wrongfully denied in the beginning, however, later decided to change their mind and pay.

01-12-2018

In our most recent litigation one of the mostly contested and litigated issues was whether the Regents of the University of California ("Regents") is considered a "business establishment" under California's Unruh Civil Rights Act ("Act")? 

Since there is no direct case law on the issue, Regents tends to frequently make the argument that it is not and should not be considered a "business establishment" under the Unruh Civil Rights Act.  Although the case that we have been litigating is not final, and no direct case law has been established yet that specifically addresses the issue, a San Diego Superior Court Judge denied the Regents' multiple attempts at arguing that it should not be held liable because it is not a "business establishment."
