Sometimes my clients ask, “Does it make sense to take the insurance carrier’s initial offer when you’re seriously injured in a bicycle accident in New York?” The answer to that is – unless they’re offering their entire policy – no, because it’s only an initial offer. Sometimes if it’s a serious enough injury, and the policy isn’t all that large to cover the full extent of the injury, they will offer their policy immediately to close out the case, but this is rare times. Mostly, they’re initial offer is just a small percentage of the money that you’re due for your case.
Insurance companies like to negotiate. Personal injury lawyers like to negotiate, and we do it well.
