From Good Hands to Boxing Gloves: The Dark Side of Insurance

This is the story the insurance industry doesn't want you to know. Now, for the first time, the story contained in "From Good Hands to Boxing Gloves" is available to the public. Find out for yourself why insurance companies are improperly denying, delaying, and defending claims at trial. The book takes you from the ideas behind Enron and their impact on the insurance industry, to the resulting claim denials in everything from minor auto accidents to Hurricane Katrina claims. Author David Berardinelli is a trial lawyer who worked diligently to become the first to obtain the notorious McKinsey Documents.
