The Insurer or Defendant Said They Will Not Participate in a Structured Attorney Fee. Why?

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 do you any favors after a contentious case, this highlights the importance of planning ahead if you want a structured attorney fee for yourself or your law firm.  You 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, 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.
