Demanding Compensation and Negotiating Early Settlement

Once your accident attorney assesses the value of your personal injury claim, and has a clearer picture of the full extent of your injuries and damages, the attorney will demand payment from the insurance company of the negligent party.  A demand package sent to the responsible party’s insurance company will often include a detailed breakdown of your damages and injuries.

Sometimes, the insurance company agrees to pay the full amount that your accident attorney demands.  Other times, the insurance company will attempt to negotiate the amount of payment with your personal injury lawyer.  Still other times, the insurance company will deny responsibility and refuse to pay anything at all.

At this stage of the process, an experienced personal injury attorney keeps an open mind about settlement, but nevertheless prepares for a fight.  An experienced accident attorney wants to settle your case quickly and fairly, because this provides you with fair compensation for your injuries without the hassle of litigation.  However, oftentimes insurance companies will only be willing to settle your case early for a fraction of the compensation to which you are entitled.  This is not acceptable at Oronoz Law Offices. 

As the client and injured party, it is always up to you when you settle.  If you decide to accept the insurance company’s early settlement offer, then the case is over.  If, however, you decide that the offer is less than full and compensation for your injuries and pain and suffering, we will press forward with the case and prepare to fight the insurance company in the courtroom.
