Negotiations begin
when the client has concluded medical treatment or reached maximum
medical improvement. The David Francis Law Firm will
present your claim to the insurance company in the form of a demand
package. The demand package will tell the story of your
case. It will provide an explanation as to how the accident
occurred, and will give a detailed medical explanation of the
seriousness of your injuries and how they have impacted your life.
Medical records, wage loss documentation and investigation
information is included with your demand package. This information
will be reviewed by the insurance company's claim adjuster or
attorney, and they will provide a response in the form of |
|
an acceptance of the
demand, a counter offer, or a rejection of the claim. If a
settlement offer is made, we will communicate the offer to you.
After thorough discussion of the offer, you will instruct us to
either accept or reject it on your behalf. Depending on the
circumstances, the David Francis Law Firm will recommend either
an acceptance or rejection of the offer. However, the client
always has the final say in choosing to accept or reject any
settlement offer that might be made by the insurance company.
And remember, negotiations do not end until the client’s
claim is settled or a verdict is reached. |

Litigation begins
once steps are taken to go to court or arbitration. This happens if
you are not satisfied with the insurance company’s settlement
offer or if the insurance company refuses to make an offer.
If the insurance company makes a reasonable settlement offer,
your case may be settled at any time, even while the case is |
|
awaiting trial in
court or arbitration. No two personal injury claims are the
same, so if or when a claim is settled varies case-by-case. While
very few personal injury claims actually go to trial or arbitration
(most cases are settled) the David Francis Law Firm will
prepare your case to go to trial or arbitration from the very
beginning. |
