Structured Attorney Fee Deferral FAQS
Some insurance companies will not agree to a structured attorney fee as a general rule. One such example is The Travelers, which has a long standing aversion to agreeing to a structured attorney fee. A few other insurers will not structure attorney fees unless the plaintiff is structuring.
Whether the obstacle is by company policy, or the whim of an adjuster not willing to accomodate after a contentious case, this highlights the importance of planning ahead if you want to utilize attorney fee deferrals for yourself or your law firm. Don't want to wait until the end of the year to find out you don't have the best options. Work with a structured attorney fee expert/attorney fee deferral expert, review cases you have expect to settle during the year, red flag Travelers cases and work on a strategy to achieve your goals with a choice of options ahead of you.
