Will My Case Settle?
Most cases settle, but the insurance company will want to settle for as little as possible. Cases can settle before they are filed, while they are filed and even after the jury renders its verdict if the case goes to trial. If the insurance company is being cooperative then there may not be a need to file a lawsuit. However, it is in the interest of the insurance company to pay a claimant as little as possible. It may be that the claim needs to go through the litigation process to clarify issues for the insurance company. The bottom line is that it is it is almost always a bad idea to accept whatever the insurance company offers unless you have an attorney on your side to interpret the factors involved in the case.
