Settlements with Insurance Take Time

These cases, off the top of my head, is why I do not accept early offers:


Initial Offer:                       ---> Final result

Offer  $1,000 plus medical bills           ---> Settled for $27,500

Offer $20,000                --->  Settled $85,000

Offer  $0.00           ---->  Verdict $200,000

Offer $400            ----> Settled $44,000

Offer $20,000          ----> Mediated to $200,000

Offer $100,000      ----> Resolved at $850,000

While each case is different and prior results do not guarantee any future results, you will never convince me that the first offer is the best or that attorneys don't make a difference

Record Setting Result

The offer to my client before I was hired:  $400.00  "For what you've been through," they said.

I was hired, filed suit and just a little over a year later:

The offer from that same insurance company was $40,000.00.

100x is the difference and that multiple is a new record. I have handled lots of cases that resulted in far more than $40,000.00 and many over $400,000, but the multiple difference of the $400 offer becoming $40,000 is amazing.

Remember that when an insurance company claims that their offer is "all you will ever get."
