Today’s Guests:
Attorney Kevin Flesch of Flesch Law and Host Scott Whatley discuss what happens when an insurance company fails to offer fair value to resolve a personal injury claim and why having an experienced trial lawyer can make a critical difference. After an accident or injury, many people assume the insurance company will fairly evaluate their claim and offer reasonable compensation. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. When negotiations fail to produce a fair settlement, filing a lawsuit may be an option worth considering. Kevin explains why experience in the courtroom matters, even when the goal is to resolve a case before trial. Every case is different, and insurance companies handle claims in different ways. Successfully pursuing compensation requires more than simply describing what happened. An attorney must build a strong case supported by evidence and documentation to demonstrate the full impact of an injury. Kevin explains the importance of establishing lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. Depending on the circumstances, additional evidence and expert testimony may be necessary to support the claim and explain the extent of the injuries, financial losses, and long-term consequences. Properly documenting these damages can be essential when negotiating with an insurance company or presenting a case in court.
An experienced trial lawyer understands how to evaluate the evidence, challenge an inadequate offer, prepare a case for litigation, and advocate for the client’s interests throughout the legal process. While no attorney can guarantee a particular outcome, thorough preparation and a willingness to take a case to trial when appropriate can be important considerations. Join us for this informative edition of Legal Talk with Kevin Flesch as we explore why insurance settlements are not always straightforward and why choosing an experienced trial attorney may be essential when an insurance company refuses to offer fair value for your claim.

Then it’s “Your Legacy Your Way”, with Attorney Carolyn Duncan of Duncan Legal. On this edition of Your Legacy Your Way, host Scott Whatley continues his conversation with Carolyn Duncan of Duncan Legal with Part 2 of their discussion on Powers of Attorney. Building on last week’s conversation, Scott and Carolyn take a deeper look at one of the most important decisions involved in creating a Power of Attorney: choosing the right person to act on your behalf. They discuss whether your agent has to be a family member, what qualities you should look for, and warning signs that someone may not be the right choice. The conversation also explores whether you can name more than one agent, the advantages and potential challenges of doing so, and how a Power of Attorney can be revoked if circumstances or relationships change. Carolyn explains what happens to a Power of Attorney when someone dies and discusses important limitations involving gifts and changes to an estate plan. Scott and Carolyn also address situations involving dementia or Alzheimer’s, why planning ahead matters, and why Powers of Attorney aren’t just for older adults. They discuss when documents should be reviewed, what happens when you move to another state, and some of the most common mistakes people make. Finally, Carolyn explains how Powers of Attorney work alongside wills, trusts, beneficiary designations and the rest of an estate plan, and what basic documents someone should consider if they have never completed an estate plan.
The message is simple: plan ahead, document your wishes, and help your family avoid making difficult decisions during a crisis. Call Duncan Legal today 303-394-2358. Visit the website at www.duncanlegal.com.
