SKIP TO CONTENTBeing injured in an accident can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to navigating settlement offers from insurance companies. If you’re unsatisfied with a settlement offer, you generally have two options, as Bryan Garrett explains in the featured video.
Option 1: Make a Counteroffer
You can respond to the initial settlement offer by proposing a new amount that you feel is fair. This should reflect the full scope of your damages, including:
- Medical Bills: Both current and anticipated future expenses.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed from work.
- Pain and Suffering: Recognition of the physical and emotional toll of the accident.
- Inconvenience: Disruptions caused by your injuries.
This step requires careful calculation and documentation to ensure your counteroffer represents the true value of your claim.
Option 2: File a Lawsuit
If a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, you can file a lawsuit. This involves presenting your case to a jury, demonstrating the full extent of your injuries, and proving how the accident has impacted your life.
However, going it alone can be risky. Insurance companies are trained to devalue claims and pay as little as possible. That’s why having an experienced attorney by your side is essential.
