Settlement Evaluation

When all of the necessary information has been obtained, we will then meet with you and evaluate your case together. Once we have arrived at a settlement figure that we feel is fair and reasonable, we will contact the insurance company with our demand for settlement. Ordinarily, they do not accept the origianl demand and further negotiation is required. This negotiation may take anywhere from one to two months. If the case is settled, an insurance company check will be issued.

It is impossible for me to tell you now how much money, if any, you will receive in connection with your case. As your attorney, I feel it is my primary duty to see that you obtain the maximum amount possible to compensate you for your injury. I will be in a position to discuss a settlement figure with you after we have gathered all the information necessary for such an evaluation.

You will always control the amount of settlement because no settement will ever be made without your prior authorization. You will always be aware of the amount of money you will have after atttorney's fees and costs before you authorize me to settle your claim.
