Last evening, Catherine Montiel, partner at our personal injury law firm, presented an eye-opening seminar titled “What Your Insurance Company Isn’t Telling You” at the Elwood Public Library in East Northport. The response was overwhelming—registration had to be closed due to the high volume of attendees, making the event one of the library’s most successful seminars to date.

Empowering the Community Through Education

During the seminar, Catherine delivered practical, easy-to-understand advice on insurance policies and how they impact individuals after an accident. The presentation helped attendees learn:

  • What types of coverage are essential (like underinsured motorist protection)
  • What coverage people may be paying for but don’t actually need
  • Why minimum insurance requirements often fall short after serious accidents
  • How better policy choices can lead to long-term savings

As a seasoned personal injury attorney, Catherine regularly sees how gaps in insurance policies hurt victims after auto accidents, slip and fall injuries, and other personal injury incidents. Her insights were met with engaged questions and lively discussion from the audience, who appreciated the chance to gain this valuable knowledge—at no cost.

Standing Room Only

Interest in the topic was so high that the library had to stop taking registrations before the event began. The room was filled with residents eager to better understand their policies and avoid common insurance pitfalls. Following the talk, attendees stayed for refreshments, informal conversation, and one-on-one questions with Catherine.

We’re proud of Catherine for delivering such a well-received seminar that truly served the needs of our community. Congratulations, Cathy, on an incredible presentation!
