What is the attorney-client relationship?
Definition:
Attorney-client privilege refers to a legal privilege that works to keep confidential communications between an attorney and his or her client secret. The privilege is asserted in the face of a legal demand for the communications, such as a discovery request or a demand that the lawyer testify under oath.
Attorney-Client Relationship:
The relationship of attorney and client is one based on trust & confidence. This relationship is fiduciary in nature and therefore demands utmost fidelity.
Once retained, a lawyer will become fully aware with all the facts connected with his client’s case. During this discovery they begin to understand and form a case based on both the strong and weak points. Such knowledge must be treated with confidentiality and kept private, protecting their client.
In most common law countries such knowledge must be treated with confidentiality and kept private, protecting their client. Information shared between a lawyer and his client is considered confidential, and it is not to be used or disclosed outside of the retained service. The question is not necessarily a right of either party but ensures proper professional standards.

Understanding Insurance Companies and Why Juries Are Not Allowed to Hear That the At Fault Defendant is Covered by Insurance.
Insurance companies are not some type of evil entity, but in jury trials they do have an advantage for this one peculiar reason: jurors never get to learn that the at fault defendant has insurance, about the insurance company or the coverage amount.
This can lead one to believe that the insurance companies don’t “have a dog in the fight,” as one might say. Simply put, under applicable law, the jury can never be told that the at fault defendant for an auto accident or a premises liability incident has insurance. They are told to judge the matter simply as between the parties involved being the Plaintiff and Defendant.
“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist” is more recognized as the final statement in the 1995 movie, The Usual Suspects. The original quote comes from an 1864 short story by Baudelaire . This quote fits our point perfectly
Why do Insurance Companies Not Have Their Name Mentioned During the Trial?
More often than not personal injury cases are settled out of court. When it the case cannot be resolved it usually will end up in a jury trial in CT unless the parties agree to a bench trial by a Judge only, without a jury.
Juries during a trial do not see the face of an insurance company in a high dollar suit, by law. Jurors only see a local resident, small business owner, senior or teenager, who is being sued for their negligence in causing injuries to the plaintiff, and they can easily make assumptions based on their appearance, speech, etc., or the status of that individual in the community.
