15. I worked for an insurance company once
as a defense attorney. I know that insurance is a necessity and have nothing against the idea of insurance. But at least in this company (to remain unnamed) the adjusters wanted to deny absolutely everything even when they knew they were dead wrong. The idea was to force everything to trial and hope the plaintiff got discouraged or ran out of money and grabbed the first lowball settlement offer. I guess I don't enjoy the adversarial system when playing the game involves real people's lives that are being shattered by an accident or a death. I quit after less than one year even though I was making good money, never to return to that insurance defense field. I hope there are no insurance adjusters out there who think I'm ragging on them. I'm not. They have a VERY HARD job with a lot of stress and pressure and there's a high job turnover rate in insurance claims departments. I think the problem is the way the system works.
