WASHINGTON–A trial lawyers' trade group issued a report yesterday alleging insurers are using improper tactics against consumers to preserve the company bottom line, an accusation that was attacked by insurance interests.
The carriers are "preying on cash-strapped consumers" in order to improve profits, said the American Association for Justice, which represents trial lawyers.
Their report uses claims data, policies and news accounts to detail tactics that target policyholders, spotlight insurance companies it says are engaging in these practices, and advise what consumers can do to prevent abuses and fight back.
