Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Many claim adjusters are aggressive and argue to protect the pocket of the insurance company. In reality (legally), they have an affirmative duty to their insured and must do everything in their power to do what is in the best interest of the insured. If they don't do this, then they should get suit for bad faith.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I like to help consumers with their claims. There are many claims out there are not worth pursuing for an attorney, however, consumers get the short end of the stick when dealing with insurance companies. I like to educate consumers to help them document their own claims.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Most insurance companies make their money in the stock market. Once their investments go bad, they raise premiums, then they blame injury lawyers.
What do you like about this subject?  I like the negotiation and the dispute resolution aspect of claims. In many occasions, the answer is simpler than insurance companies make it out to be. Creative thinking can really create a win win situation for everyone. I like the challenge.
