Derick started his career working in the life insurance industry, handling final expense coverage claims. Over time, he learned that working families were often denied the benefits they paid for through “post-claims underwriting,” an underhanded tactic in which the insurer would dig through records to find reasons to rescind a life insurance policy after the subject had passed away.
Watching the way insurance companies treat policyholders and observing their strategies to avoid and minimize liability, Derick knew he was in the wrong field. Arbitrary and cruel claim denials influenced him to switch sides and advocate for people, not corporations. Now, Derick uses his knowledge of the insurance industry to fight back and win millions in compensation for injury victims throughout Arizona.
