Tom Budinich Achieves Better Results for Accident Victims
During this portion of his career, he also earned the prestigious Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) designation. The comprehensive 10 course curriculum studies all aspects of the insurance business. Tom uses his deep knowledge of the inner workings of insurance companies to help his clients. After hiring Tom, clients obtain the best compensation for their injury claims.
Tom represents accident victims and helps them fully recover from the negligent acts of others. As a result of working in the insurance industry, he has witnessed the mistreatment of accident victims by large companies. Following the trauma of a car accident, insurance companies frequently push victims to the back of the line. Finally, after years of waiting, victims receive low, take-it-or-leave-it settlement offers. Getting better results for people who have been forced into this situation is very gratifying for Tom.
Tom belieives in getting to know his clients. He knows the importance of learning how their injuries affect all aspects their lives. Has your injury forced you to miss work? Are you less effective in your performance on the job? Has your injury impacted your family life? Has it reduced or removed your ability to engage in your favorite recreational activities?
Tom fully presents this information to insurance companies. In doing so, he can negotiate his clients’ claims in the most favorable light and secure the compensation they deserve.
“I feel that I have best served my client when I have aggressively pursued the at fault party. At the same time, I strive to educate my clients on the benefits, costs, and risks of litigation.”
