- Was the kid behind you texting and driving when she rear-ended your family at a stoplight?
- Was an impatient driver passing on a busy stretch of Route 7, when he collided with your car head-on?
- Were you out biking with friends along Lake Champlain when a driver clipped your rear wheel, sending you over the guardrail?

Dealing With An Injury Claim Shouldn’t Be A Second (Or Third!) Job.
Whether you’re hurt in a car wreck or suffered a serious catastrophic injury due to another type of negligence, your first priority is getting well. Maybe you’re back to work now but still have follow up appointments or even surgeries. You’re dealing with doctors’ offices, insurance companies, and bill collectors, all while wondering if or when it’s going to end.
Managing the medical and personal aftermath of an injury is time-consuming and stressful enough. A legal claim should make things better, not worse.
Why We Do What We Do
We don’t like to see people who are truly hurt get less than they deserve because insurance companies want to put them through the ringer. It makes us angry to see people worn down and discouraged just because insurance companies have the money and resources to drag out the process and subject people to humiliating mental and physical examinations.
Even worse, in many cases, the person or business that caused you harm has little to no actual responsibility once they report the claim to their insurance company. If the claim resolves before a lawsuit, the negligent person or business will get a letter saying the claim has been paid. That’s it. And if they case goes to court, they might have to give a statement, but many times they don’t even show up in a courtroom.
The insurance industry and defense lawyers put YOU under a microscope. And it feels like you’re the one on trial. Defense lawyers and investigators turn over every stone to see whether they can make it look like you were at fault. If they can’t do that, they try to prove that you weren’t hurt. If both of those tactics fail, they argue that you were already hurt before the accident.
The defense wants to dig through your medical records, subject you to physical examinations by a doctor of their choosing, and comb through your social media accounts. And to add insult to injury, when the case gets to trial, we’re not even allowed to tell the jurors that an insurance company is behind the scenes, pulling the strings and paying the judgment.
It’s not right.
We can’t change the system, but we can play a better game. A Burlington personal injury attorney like Drew Palcsik can expose deceptive defense tactics and we can prepare you to weather the storm and come out ahead.
That’s why we developed the Client Success Roadmap.
