Insurance defense lawyers can ask dumb questions (and largely get away with it)
I feel no shame in stating such a thing, nor do I find it in any way inappropriate. Plaintiff's lawyers and plaintiffs who have sat through a deposition or (even worse) a trial will understand. Plaintiff's lawyers have to be crafty and smart to win. It's much harder being a plaintiff than being a defendant. Especially in North Carolina where the thirty year war on trial lawyers, outrage over the McDonald's coffee case , and the results of considerably lobbying efforts have diminished the value of personal injury cases throughout the state. And that's a shame. Because injured people suffer as a result. So, no, I don't feel bad criticizing insurance defense lawyers who are nasty and malicious to my clients. Sometimes you have to "punch a bully in the face" to stop bullying.
