What is the process of negotiating with the insurance company?
When you have completed your treatment, and we know the extent of your injuries we will attempt to reach a negotiated settlement. Usually, this involves discussions with insurance adjusters. We begin this by sending them your medical bills, lost wages, and reports from doctors. We will give them ample time to review our submission and await their response. This process may or may not be productive. The success of this procedure varies with each case and the insurance company involved. The bottom line is money. The insurance company wants to pay as little as possible, and we want the most we can obtain. Remember, a negotiated settlement is possible anytime the parties can agree, even during the trial. If the insurance company fails to offer a fair settlement, we will file suit. Again, this procedure can vary from case to case.
