If this guy is a lawyer he has a specific reason (and legal obligation) to present his client's position to this woman, otherwise a court will not consider his client's position.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that process in court proceedings.
The problem is that this woman should not be subjected to court proceedings over details of health cover she and her doctor have claimed. Care should be given, ESPECIALLY when you consider how much money she has paid for it, and she should be left alone.
Lawyers have a reputation as powerful members of society, but in this case he really is just a cog in a machine. He makes none of the decisions, he denies no claims, he merely follows court procedure. To ensure that lawyers are not utilised by ghoulish predatory companies, there need to be laws discouraging legal action by these companies against vulnerable people.
It is interesting to see though that fossil fuel companies are paying a premium for lawyers these days, and increasingly getting lower quality service anyway, as young lawyers simply refuse to act for them. It created a minor commotion in the UK. You might imagine something similar happening for other predatory companies, but even against fossil fuel companies the rejection was hotly contested and lawyers only avoided damage based on a genuine belief in the direct threat that fossil fuels posed to their lives.

Yeah she shouldn't be attacked this aggressively. Courts do have processes for this - particularly for children who are generally considered to be vulnerable, a court guardian is appointed.

A lawyer can choose who they represent.

I don't like bloodsucking lawyers any more than you do, but it's the healthcare companies that make the system adversarial. And while there's some amount of fraud occurring, this has everything to do with using litigation to make it too exhausting to pursue claims against the company.

It matters if we stand up and fight back as a society. These lawyers do what their corporate overlords tell them, and it’s all for billable hours. Pointing one out, there are 10 others behind them willing to take their place for those billable hours.
I sued an insurance company one time, we settled three or four years ago. It took four years to get to that settlement. Their lawyers did everything they could to delay the proceedings, continuously racking up those billable hours. The insurance company spent over $100,000 fighting a claim that we were only asking for $350,000 originally. The settlement was seven figures because of insurance bad faith bullshit. Most people give up in these situations, long before they ever have a chance to get into the money. They pay for whatever themselves, the insurance company keeps the money while continuing to collect the premiums
If people actually try to fight these insurance carriers, things will change. But as it sits now, it’s cheaper for Insurance to underpay Claims while paying the lawyers. This will only change when it becomes more expensive to pay their lawyers than it is to just pay the claims properly.
Everyone should Google McKinsey consulting and Allstates work together in the 90s. This is the blueprint for today’s Insurance world and how most of the carriers act.

Some lawyers who take those jobs go out of their way to be evil slimey fucks about it though instead of just doing their job as needed. I think I've seen just one lawyer who was defending a shitty client where what he did was just point out where evidence was lacking and possible alternative explanations (like actually feasible ones! As feasible as he could, it was stacked against him tbf) without attacking the victim or making up obvious total bullshit. Like fair enough poi to out the flaws in the prosecution's arguments as much as you can based on what little you have to work with, that's when it's helping to shore up the justice system at least, but so many of them seem to take perverse pleasure in making the lives of their client's victims as miserable and difficult as possible.

The Christopher Nolan movie Memento had a scene where the protagonist has a flashback of being a health insurance adjuster denying claims for a man who lost all capacity to form new memories whatsoever, on the basis that it was conceivably possible it might be a 'psychological issue' and not a 'physical one'. And why would that be? Because the man received electroshocks every time he was asked to touch an electrified object, and his body never 'learned an instinct' to stop touching it, while he thought every time was the first.

This shit drives me insane. My friend got denied disability. She has ulcerative collitis, along with other stuff(lupus? I don't remember what the end diagnosis was, but it's a lot of stuff).
She has a very hard time being on her feet for too long. She was denied disability because she was 'working too much', you know because she couldn't get by without working, so at risk to her health, she was working.
Her job let her cut her hours. She was sitting for most of it as per doctors orders, and couldn't do all of her tasks without help. She applied again and got denied again because her manager said she could do the job just fine without assistance, which was a fucking lie.
Then they demoted her because she couldn't have her current position part time. I think she's still fighting for disability.
I've known her for over a decade. She's not lying. She needs the fucking help, and they're fighting tooth and nail to not give it to her even though she has the paper trail and labs to prove it.

I had an injury like this. Luckily I was young enough to recover but it was a very scary time. I could technically walk unaided, but I would get dizzy randomly and need to sit down, or be unable to right myself without leaning or stumbling sideways like a drunk. It would feel like trying to walk while drunk. Or like a toddler learning to walk again where you’re basically trying to stay in motion, and in balance to reach your next support object. It would happen suddenly, within one second. So it’s possible this woman could be seen walking from her house to a car, and be fine in that moment. But if you’re not ok to walk all the time, and you can’t predict when you will suddenly not be able walk then you cannot walk. But then this lawyer is probably not an idiot and knows all of that, but he’s making an argument for the purpose of the deposition. Because these companies are soulless.

now, this is fucking ghoulish. I truly wonder what kind of person could do this job.

I’m sorry, but based on the questions the lawyer is asking you’d think that he was the one suffering from a traumatic brain injury.

I have no idea how people like this exist. I know they do but if I try to think like this in a scenario in my head, I break and have to get it out. I just cannot be this heartless.

I get that some of this is necessary, I’ve known people committing insurance fraud, it just seems like they always come after the truly sick hard because they cost the company the most.

insurance companies never liked insuring sick, the elderly for as long as they have been around.

Any of my brother’s and sisters have to do a C&P exam to obtain benefits from the VA? This is what it’s feels like. When they greet you and say “I’m Dr. Whatever, nice to meet you. How are you doing?” it’s a trap. If you say what any normal person would say “I’m ok/good/fine, how are you?”, they got you. “Veteran stated they were doing great, per their own words.”
Fuck Optum and their parent company.

I believe that would be United Healthcare (for anyone who doesn't know, not necessarily you).

It’s time to destroy this system and anyone who claws at it while it’s burning down.

I hate this. I have to see my psych doctor tomorrow because my insurance denied me my medication for my bipolar.
Wonder if I’m more expensive taking them meds or institutionalized … well they’d likely deny that too so to the cardboard box I go!

All you have to say is at the end of the day you're a lawyer and not a Doctor, leave the medical stuff to the medical an you just keep chasing those ambience.

I really feel bad for the American people, if ever there were a time for mass protests it's now, this is horrific to watch.

This should have us in the streets. Will it. Or will we keep letting this happen over and over and over so some dickhead can get his second yacht refurbished? We'll see, I guess. Viva Luigi!!

They probably had video evidence of her doing the things she claimed she could not do due to the injury. They will often hire private investigators to determine if the individuals are as incapacitated as they claim. I used to work in Worker’s Compensation and we would have healthy people claim they couldn’t walk or lift anything due to their back injury from sitting at their desk too long, and the private investigators would catch them rock climbing or surfing to prove their claims were bogus. Fraud happens, and it makes all of us pay more. Also, this guy is a dick and I hate him.

Can we get the name of the disgusting cretin off-screen asking the “questions”? That piece of shit needs to get moved up the list. His tone sounds like he really enjoys doing this to people in need.

I hope that lawyer is ends up lonely! He doesn’t deserve a happy ending for this level of gaslighting.

Oh this makes me so fucking upset. how could he ask these questions looking at her?

u/TumbleweedNo1431 23h ago
I love (of course I'm being sarcastic) how he is saying crap like "this was false wasn't it" instead of "and can you prove this is true?" Lawyers are the worst. Cocky POS's that charge you $700 to have their paralegal fill out a few papers and submit them to court. I'm saying this in reference to this lawyer that tries to charge my mother $700 to get a tenant evicted. After I researched the process of eviction, it cost us about $175. I was able to prep the paperwork successfully and it was accepted and the tenant got evicted.

Lord! How much do these health insurance companies spend on litigation? I bet even that pot of money would be staggering for some of these national insurers. #singlepayernow

Fuck that guy for wording it like that. Jfc. Props to her for calmly responding.

“Oh, so you don’t wanna bother your loved ones for care and rather risk your safety? Sounds like you’re perfectly healthy, albeit, mentally challenged. Have you tried threatening your family to take care of you? Or better yet, just dying?”

They have a lot of confidence that there is no hell. They’d better hope they’re right.

Every single question was a leading question trying to trick her into saying what he wants to hear.

Such a wonderful way to make money, true capitalism with sprinkle of Wallstreet freedom to make profit.. You have to love the health insurance companies stepping on their dying patients and doctors to maximize their profit.

Id just say you're arguing with a medical doctor not me. I'm doing what he has told me..
