The firm has been at the forefront of the defense counsel bar since the rising escalation of First Party related claims, also known as No-Fault litigation. Since 1995, when medical providers initiated their forum change to state court as compared to arbitration, CC&I has been a leader in devising defense strategies that countered the ever-growing volume of claims filed by medical providers.
This legal effort has required an evolving challenge based upon quickly changing decisional law often based upon decisional authority which is openly hostile to the insuring entities and their counsel who are defending these claims.
CC&I clients have engaged the firm in all facets of this aspect of litigation, including the defense of individual claims, state court trial work, appellate practice and class action defense services. We have also taken the lead to neutralize claims early on by conducting Examinations under Oath of claimants to ferret out fraudulent billing providers, staged claims and limit prospective future medical exposure.
