Personal injury law, redefined.
TELN supports the ethical practice of personal injury law and victim advocacy. Our members are leading the effort to enact legal practice reform and demonstrate the industry's highest commitment to ethics and excellence in personal injury law.
TELN members will set the new standard for ethical personal injury law practice and victim advocacy
TELN is an organization created for the public good, focusing on the law as a profession, a calling that must earn and maintain the public’s trust. Its members must be dedicated to supporting the ethical practice of personal injury law, victim advocacy, and exposing abuses and fraud that are rampant in the industry. Why is TELN needed? Ethical personal injury attorneys face challenges as their practice grows. The need for investment in headcount, systems, technology, and client acquisition can be financially crushing. Many attorneys turn to unscrupulous lead vendors, medical service providers, and lenders, unknowingly risking the welfare and interests of their clients and their practices. Unfortunately, these desperate compromises have become systemic and have poisoned the personal injury legal ecosystem. Bad actors who manipulate the process for financial gain without concern for the victims our civil justice system exists to serve are making it increasingly difficult for it uncorrupted lawyers to succeed. Combating fraud at its source requires careful analysis to protect true victims while providing defendants and the plaintiff's bar accurate information, with no risk to legitimate claims. Targeting personal injury fraud, TELN will identify, expose, and foil the practitioners of predatory practices, allowing the personal injury field to thrive under an ethical operating playbook designed to maintain integrity and keep fraud at bay.
Over the course of TELN leadership's multi-decade victim identification and verification history, TELN has analyzed and verified tens of thousands of injured people involved in mass tort litigation with total settlement values in excess of $500 Million.
