The insurer's playbook

Their playbook. His answer.

What the owner's insurer usually says after a fall, and what we do about it.

  1. 01
    Their move

    You are told the hazard was in plain sight, and the fall was your fault.

    His answer

    The question is whether the owner knew, or should have known, about the danger and failed to fix it.

  2. 02
    Their move

    Surveillance video and the incident report get overwritten or filed away.

    His answer

    We ask for them to be preserved early. Most of it has a retention window.

  3. 03
    Their move

    You are asked why you were on the property at all.

    His answer

    In Texas the owner's duty turns on that: a customer in a store is owed far more than a social guest.

  4. 04
    Their move

    An early offer, made before your treatment has run its course.

    His answer

    No demand goes out until the medical picture is actually known.

Who handles your case

He knows the other side because he worked there.

While he was in law school, David worked as an insurance adjuster for a large insurance company, and as a private investigator. He knows how a claim is reserved, what an adjuster is instructed to document, and what a file has to look like before an insurer treats it as a trial risk.

Our case managers keep things moving, while David stays directly involved in the strategy and resolution of your case.

How it works

How your case gets started.

  1. 01

    Tell us what happened

    A few sentences, a photo, a police report — whatever you have. It costs nothing and it is not a commitment.

  2. 02

    We go and get the evidence

    Onboard data, logbooks, surveillance, incident reports. Most of it has a retention window, which is why the first week matters.

  3. 03

    We make them value it properly

    David worked as an adjuster. The file gets built so the other side has to treat it as a trial risk, not a nuisance.

  4. 04

    You decide

    Settle or go to trial. It is your call, made with a straight account of what each road is worth.

Where we are

Houston is the home office.

The main office is on Heights Boulevard in Houston, and the second is in San Marcos. David takes cases from across the United States, with the same direct attention.
