The number one question from a client involved in a personal injury lawsuit is, should I settle my case? The answer is, it depends. Normally, the first, second, or even third offer is not fair, just or reasonable. Insurance carriers have a profit driven practice of making low ball offers because 10-30% of the time, those offers are accepted. When you are represented by a Litigator who understands the upside potential of litigating the case aggressively and crafting a
case that is jury trial ready, your settlement offers will be significantly larger than the early offers.

Policy coverage, legal challenges and ability to put together proof needed for trial will all play a part in determining if and when settlement is the best option. Your lawyer should always be willing to carefully explain all of your options and that must include the option of going all the way to trial. A great lawyer will make sure his clients’ fear of trial will not drive her into a poor decision to settle a case for an unjust figure.
