Lynette Simmons Hoag, Member of Hoag Law Group, LLC
Ms. Hoag began her career at a moderate sized law firm in Chicago specializing in the defense of product-liability, nursing home, premises liability and personal injury cases for three years. She then moved to a large firm where she pursued landlords in matters where children had sustained lead poisoning from their premises for two years. Ms. Hoag also spent time representing health care providers with disputed Medicare claims before the Provider Reimbursement Review Board.
For more than ten years she worked in hard fought insurance defense claims including suspected arson cases, coverage issues, suspicious theft losses, and disputed car accidents. She conducted hundreds of depositions and dozens of examinations under oath. In this position, she was introduced to National Insurance Crime Bureaus fraud indicators. Often unsuspecting insureds create an unwitting flag on their clam as suspicious by engaging in activity that flags their claim for higher scrutiny by the insurance company.
