When you are pursuing compensation from a truck driver or truck company, their insurer is not on your side. This can make negotiating a fair amount incredibly stressful for injured accident victims. You do not need to go through this process alone; and you should not. Having an experienced attorney who is familiar with negotiation tactics and knows the true value of your claim means that you do not have to be bullied by the insurance company.
Before going into negotiations, it’s a good idea to determine the value of your claim. The attorneys at D’Amico & Pettinicchi, LLC, will do this by evaluating the following factors:
Keep in mind that the first offer made by the insurance company will likely be far too low to account for your damages. A Connecticut truck accident attorney can negotiate for a higher amount and pursue litigation if the insurer refuses to offer a just settlement award.
The decision to accept a settlement offer or pursue litigation is a personal one; you will make the final choice, but our Connecticut truck accident attorneys can help you make an informed decision and advise you on the potential outcome of each option.
Settlement typically takes less time than litigation, which is an advantage for accident victims facing mounting medical bills and prolonged stress. However, going to court may be the better option if the insurance company is not being reasonable with their offers. Weighing the pros and cons of both options is something the attorneys at D’Amico & Pettinicchi, LLC, can help with.
