From Milking Cows to Making Insurance Companies Pay, with Ricardo Echeverria

In a personal injury case, the plaintiff’s lawyer must rely on witnesses to perform. In a bad-faith case, their job is educating the jury about the rules that insurance companies must follow. That’s how Ricardo Echeverria describes the two areas of his practice at Shernoff Bidart Echeverria. With hosts Ben Gideon and Rahul Ravipudi, he explains that he started his career focusing on PI but that evolved over the years to litigating bad faith cases. “They are definitely different kinds of cases and a different approach to cases altogether,” he says. Tune in for Ricardo’s insights about how he advocates for fire victims who are under-insured and why he'd "go back to milking cows" before representing insurance companies.
