Book Excerpts

“I have represented parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders seeking medically necessary behavioral therapy from large health plans. During the course of these lawsuits, I learned that certain health plans systemically claimed that behavioral therapy was not covered. However, under the Mental Health Parity Act, coverage was required. For this reason, it is important to know your clients’ rights and to not accept on its face any denials of coverage.” (Chapter 2: Understanding Consumer Rights to Identify Violations)

“If you can establish that the insurer engaged in the bad faith conduct towards your client because of a systemic practice that damages other policyholders, the jurors will be more likely to punish the insurer to deter similar conduct in the future.” (Chapter 11: Developing Pattern and Practice Evidence)

“Voir dire in California’s civil courts is fairly liberal, but there is a limit on acceptable activity. If practitioners keep these boundaries in mind and focus on the county specific local rules for the county in which they are conducting their trial, then they can confidently be free to focus on the art and strategy of voir dire.” (Chapter 18: Voir Dire)
