Carefully Evaluate the Offer

Sometimes you may be quick to disapprove an offer without really checking if it meets your needs. Even if it doesn’t fit your needs do not be quick to go to court. That is because; your case may not have a lot of merits so you may not win the case.

Send a Response

Once you have received and reviewed the offer, you should submit a written response to it. The answer should acknowledge the offer given and what you think about it. In this letter, you can explain to the insurance company why you believe that you deserve more than what was offered.

Make an Offer

If you have a reasonable figure in mind that you would like to be paid, you can present it as a counteroffer. It needs to be in consideration of your injuries and loses but it should also be a bit higher than what you expect. That is so that if the insurance company counters your counter, then the amount won’t be too low.

File a Lawsuit
