Question:
Should I accept the first settlement offer?
Answer:
If the insurance company has a $25,000 policy and no more money, and their first offer is $25,000, of course you take the first offer because that’s the maximum you can get, but that’s very rare.
Negotiations usually take a very long period of time. Some companies like to go very slowly, in very small increments. Some companies will go very quickly, in very big increments. It depends on the company. After 45 years, we have a great feel for whether it’s going well or not. We do not like to leave money on the table. We like to get every single penny that we can get for you on your behalf for the personal injury that you sustained.
