Why Does My Insurance Company Need My Social Security Number?

A caller’s employer asked for the social security numbers of all of his dependents. Why would they need those? Brian explains that many insurance companies track their insureds with their SS numbers and there is nothing wrong with that per se. The employer and the insurance company are under affirmative duties to safeguard and protect that information. You only need to worry — and call an attorney — if they let that information get out.

How Much Should They Pay For My Totaled Car?

Matt explains to a caller that the insurance company usually only has to pay replacement value for your car when its totaled, even if you owe more than its worth. You have to check your policy and see what it says — if that’s it, then do your homework to make sure they do pay you at least what it would cost to replace the vehicle in an arm’s length transaction.

Attorneys Suing Attorneys

A caller thinks his attorney have committed malpractice. Brian explains that there are two issues to consider: 1) Did the attorneys’ actions fall below the standard of care and 2) Did the action/inaction cause you harm? If the answer to both of those is “Yes” then you may have a malpractice claim.
