I’m Tiffany Sanchez, reporting for Carlsbad Currents. Today I’m speaking with Richard Morse, esteemed attorney at Morse Injury Law, about navigating the often-complex world of car accident claims.
Richard, thanks so much for taking the time to speak with me today. Could you delve into the negotiation and settlement phase of a personal injury case?
It’s a pleasure to be here, Tiffany. The negotiation and settlement phase is crucial in most personal injury cases. It’s where we leverage the evidence we’ve gathered – police reports, medical records, witness statements – to build a strong argument for our client’s compensation.
We begin by sending a demand letter to the insurance company outlining the details of the accident, our client’s injuries, and the amount of damages we are seeking. This initiates the negotiation process. Ordinarily, we aim to reach a fair settlement without going to court. However, sometimes negotiations can be challenging.
Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. Consequently, we need to be prepared to counter their arguments and demonstrate the full extent of our client’s losses. This might involve presenting expert testimony or additional evidence to support our case.
Have you ever encountered any particular challenges during this phase?
There was a case I handled a few years ago involving a young woman who suffered a severe concussion in a rear-end collision. The insurance company initially offered a paltry sum, claiming her injuries weren’t that serious. But, we had secured medical records documenting the long-term cognitive effects she experienced as a result of the accident.
We presented these records during negotiations and argued passionately for her right to receive adequate compensation. Ultimately, the insurance company recognized the validity of our claims and agreed to a significantly higher settlement. It was incredibly rewarding to see justice served for my client.
It’s important to remember that over 95% of personal injury cases are settled out of court, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (2016). This highlights the effectiveness of skilled negotiation in achieving positive outcomes for injured parties.
At Morse Injury Law, we are dedicated to fighting tirelessly for our clients’ rights and maximizing their compensation. We understand that dealing with the aftermath of an accident can be overwhelming, so we strive to make the legal process as smooth and transparent as possible.
