S. Burke Law’s Favorite Quotes“You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone — any person or any force — dampen, dim or

diminish your light … Release the need to hate, to harbor division, and the enticement of revenge. Release all bitterness. Hold only love, only peace in your heart,

knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won.”

~ John Lewis

“No matter how big a nation is, it is no stronger than its weakest people, and as long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you

cannot soar as you might otherwise.” ~ Marian Anderson

“Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.”

~ Oprah Winfrey

“Nothing can stop the power of committed and determined people to make a difference in our society. Why? Because human beings are the most dynamic link to the divine on this planet.”

~ John Lewis

Insurance Company Bad-Faith Tactics

When you are injured in an accident or experience property damage, it can be stressful and sometimes downright traumatic. You don’t need insurance companies piling on by employing bad-faith tactics.

Bad faith is broadly defined as dishonest or unfair practices. Insurance companies are required to thoroughly investigate, negotiate, and settle claims in good faith. When that doesn’t happen, they can be held liable.

To pay as little as possible, some insurance companies utilize the following bad-faith tactics:

Unreasonable delays. Sometimes insurance companies will drag out the process, hoping that a claimant eventually gives up. Most states have established deadlines of 15–60 days for denying or accepting a claim.

Deceptive practices. You might be unaware of a facet of your coverage. The insurance company is completely aware, yet they do not alert you. They might also choose not to notify you of important deadlines or provide the necessary paperwork to complete your claim on time.

Incomplete investigation. If the insurance company does not look at all the evidence or fails to conduct a personal inspection, they haven’t been thorough.

Lowballing. Offering less money than a claim is worth is an example of bad faith.

Refusal to pay a valid claim. When insurers deny claims that are clearly covered by their policies, it’s evident that policyholders’ interests come in a distant second to profits.

Twisting language. An insurance company may purposely misrepresent the language of the insurance policy and use it against you.

Threats. Some insurance companies threaten harsh legal action against a potential claimant- or imply it.

If you have been the victim of bad-faith insurance practices, contact an experienced insurance-law attorney to protect your rights.

5 Ways to Boost Your ImmunityBoosting your immunity is always a good thing but especially when there’s a virus going around. Of course, the best way to protect yourself during this pandemic is to practice good hygiene and social distancing. However, there are some other things you can add to your “kick Covid-19’s butt” arsenal. Nutrition, supplements, and the type of lifestyle you cultivate during this time are also things to consider.

Here are 5 ways to boost your immunity right now:

1. Get Quality Rest. This is a very simple thing but can often be difficult for people to really achieve. Cutting off devices before bed and not engaging in screen time after a certain hour can drastically impact sleep quality. Our bodies need rest in the same way it needs oxygen so prioritizing getting a good night’s sleep will work wonders.

2. Exercise. Getting in about 15-20 minutes of working out can significantly improve your health. These days, many of us are working from home and spending long periods of time sitting down behind a screen. Giving your body a good stretch every now and then will help you get your blood pumping and stay in shape.

3. Stay Hydrated. Water provides nourishment for the body which allows it to stay in a healthy state. Staying hydrated is the golden rule for living well.

4. Supplements. Vitamin C, Zinc, Elderberry, Vitamin A, D, and E are all known to strengthen the immune system. Taking these supplements or even eating more foods with these nutrients in them can help your body tremendously.

5. Nature. Never underestimate the power of sunlight and fresh air. Being closed in all day isn’t really all that fun. Plus, being outside in nature does great things for those who may have challenges with anxiety and depression. Nature is our reminder that we are all connected and that it’s okay to relax and take it all in.
