Insider Tips

Tip 1

The Hidden Free-Form Fields

There are a few free form fields in the algorithm that are used less frequently.  This is because the plaintiff side often doesn’t address the injury details that the free form fields cover and claim professionals are not permitted to help attorneys advocate for their clients.

Tip 2

The Fraud Assumption

All claim professionals are taught that every claim has some form of fraud.  Throughout my career I found this to be a grossly exaggerated assertion. 

Tip 3

Settlement Authority Thresholds

It varies depending upon the carriers risk tolerance level, policy type, and claim type in addition to the assigned claim professional and their supervisors experience levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from hiring me as an expert witness?

Expert witnesses testify about industry standards and practices. I provide strategic consulting to help you position cases before negotiation even begins. Think of me as your behind-the-scenes advantage, I help you understand what carriers see so you can strengthen your case preemptively.

This isn’t my ego speaking, it’s my experience combined with the employee performance reviews each of my former insurance side employers gave me.  

Will this work with cases I'm already negotiating?

Yes! While pre-demand audits provide the most value, I can analyze cases at any stage and provide strategic guidance for ongoing negotiations.

How long does a case audit take?

Most audits are completed within 5-7 business days from the time I receive complete case files. Rush service is available for time-sensitive situations for an additional $500 charge.

Is my client information kept confidential?

Yes. You provide access to your file documents with your preferred security platform, I do not save or store your client’s documents. In addition to my Consulting Contract, I sign your firms NDAs and adhere to strict confidentiality protocols.

Do you work with specific practice areas?

I specialize in personal injury cases including most forms of auto accidents, pedestrian, bicycle, premises slip/trip and fall, dog bite, and general bodily injury claims. These are the areas where my insurance processing experience is most directly applicable.

Can you help with cases outside California?

While the bulk of my expertise is centered in California insurance regulations and practices, I processed claims occurring Nationwide and conducted investigations for carriers across the Country and in Canada that occurred in San Diego County. Having processed claims nationwide with numerous carriers, I have broad exposure to how these systems operate across different markets. Contact me to discuss your specific situation.

What if I just have a quick question?

Schedule a free 15 or 30-minute consultation. We can discuss what services will best fit your needs. 

How much do your services cost?

My base per hour fee is $175 and I bill in .25 increments.  Case audits typically find ways to save the amount of my bill in expenses and make significantly more through general damages.  I provide bill estimates for approval prior to beginning any work.

Stop Negotiating in the Dark

You’ve spent years building your practice and fighting for your clients. Isn’t it time you had the same insider advantages that insurance carriers take for granted?

One case audit from Red Stapler Project could pay for itself many times over in general damages and provide cost saving methods that can be applied going forward. One training session could transform how your entire firm approaches client matter documentation and demand drafting.

The question isn’t whether you can afford this intelligence. It’s whether you can afford to keep negotiating without it.
