This is by no means in defense of the practice, but I remember taking a doctor’s de bene esse deposition, and afterwards he goes to the taking attorney “Hey, you’re paying me more than this case is worth, what gives?” And the attorney said the carrier is trying everything in an effort to deter people filing lawsuits for easy 5-10k payouts. I understand the rationale, but it still sucks.
