I’m Brenda Sanchez, reporting live for the Coronado Chronicle. Today I’m sitting down with Richard Morse, esteemed attorney at Morse Injury Law, a firm deeply rooted in protecting the rights of San Diegans. Richard, thank you for taking the time to chat with me.
The Art of Negotiation
Brenda, it’s my pleasure. Negotiating and settling personal injury claims is a critical stage in ensuring our clients receive just compensation for their losses.
Ordinarily, after we’ve thoroughly investigated the accident, gathered all necessary evidence, and established liability, we move into the negotiation phase. This involves presenting a compelling demand letter to the insurance company outlining the extent of our client’s damages – medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
We meticulously calculate these damages using medical bills, wage statements, and other relevant documentation. Our goal is to reach a fair settlement that adequately compensates our clients for their injuries and losses.
Nevertheless, insurance companies are notorious for lowballing initial offers. We won’t settle for anything less than what our clients deserve. This often involves multiple rounds of negotiations, presenting counter-offers, and advocating forcefully on behalf of our clients.
Navigating Roadblocks
Brenda, the negotiation process isn’t always smooth sailing. I recall one case involving a young cyclist who was seriously injured in a hit-and-run accident. The insurance company initially denied liability, claiming insufficient evidence. We refused to back down. Through relentless investigation and witness interviews, we uncovered crucial evidence that directly linked the defendant to the accident. Consequently, the insurance company reversed its position and ultimately agreed to a substantial settlement.
- Persistence is key
- Don’t be afraid to push back
In fact, according to a study by the Insurance Research Council, settlements reached through negotiation are often significantly higher than those awarded in court. This underscores the importance of having a skilled attorney on your side who can effectively negotiate with insurance companies.
Finding Resolution
Our primary objective is always to achieve a favorable settlement for our clients without resorting to litigation. However, if negotiations fail, we are fully prepared to file a lawsuit and take the case to trial.
