Most often, no. An insurance company will not offer you a fair amount for your personal injury claim unless it knows that there is a risk that it will have to pay more at a jury trial. Why? Because an insurance company is profit-driven. The less an insurance company pays out on claims, the better for their business. So insurance companies have an incentive to pay as little as possible.

We have heard too many horror stories of injured people resolving claims on their own without our legal advice. It ends badly. Insurance companies will try and sweet talk you into a settlement, knowing that you may not know how to maximize the value of your claim and knowing you may not realize you are more hurt than you know. Don’t do it without calling us. We have been negotiating with insurance companies for injury claims for decades. We know what we’re doing. If an insurance company is not willing to offer what we know is fair, then we will prepare you for trial. The jury is the equalizer, taming the goliath insurance companies. We have tamed many. Because of our reputation for court success, we are often able to get insurance companies to pay a fair settlement. Don’t go it alone.
