Re: Damage?

My day job is handling Bodily Injury losses for an insurance carrier, and I deal with injury attorneys every day.
The police report often means nothing to an attorney, they love throwing stuff to see if it'll stick. I see this kind of thing as often as a dozen times in a day. And in some states, it's really easy to initiate a suit, which sometimes doesn't cost the attorney much but their paralegal's time.
I many cases, it's a business decision to settle to protect your client/insured interest. Even when the other party clearly caused the loss as there only has to be the tiniest fraction of potential for comparative negligence to make a carrier think twice about telling the driver to go pound sand.
