Who owns this site, how it makes money, what happens to an enquiry, and what our commercial relationships do and do not mean.
Pending legal review. The structure and commitments here are complete, but the bracketed fields describing your entity, revenue sources and named partners are placeholders. Fill them in accurately and have the page reviewed against the advertising rules of every state you operate in.
Plainclaim is published by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], a [ENTITY TYPE] registered in [STATE OF FORMATION]. Editorial and business contact: [CONTACT EMAIL], [POSTAL ADDRESS].
We are an independent publisher. We are not a law firm, an insurance company, or a government agency, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by any state or federal body.
Publishing this site costs money, and you are entitled to know where that money comes from. Our revenue comes from:

If you submit an enquiry asking to be connected with an attorney or claim service, this is what happens:
We are compensated for making the connection. That payment does not change what you pay the firm, and it does not mean the firm is the best or the only choice for your matter. You are free to contact any attorney you like.
Being a participating firm means a firm has a commercial arrangement with us. It is not a recommendation, a rating, an endorsement, or a statement that the firm is better than any other. We do not evaluate the quality of legal representation and we do not rank firms by merit.
Nothing on this site predicts or guarantees a result. Past settlements, verdicts, testimonials, estimates, and examples describe other matters and do not indicate what will happen in yours. Every claim turns on its own facts, evidence, jurisdiction, deadlines, and insurance.
We deliberately do not publish an instant case value calculator, because a number produced without the records, the policy limits, and the fault evidence would be a guess that people might act on.
Advertisers and referral partners do not choose our topics, review our drafts, or approve our conclusions before publication. Our data reports are not sponsored and we do not accept payment to reach a particular finding.
If a commercial partner is mentioned in editorial content, the relationship is disclosed on that page.
Contributors to our interviews and answers are not paid for appearances and cannot buy a slot. Their credentials are verified before publication, and any commercial relationship they have with this site is disclosed on their profile and on the episode page.
Legal services advertising is regulated, and requirements differ by state. Some jurisdictions require this kind of content to be labelled as attorney advertising, and some restrict specific claims.
