I was rear-ended, but the insurance company still will not offer a fair settlement

2/9/2016

This is a common complaint we hear from clients and potential clients.  "I was rear-ended." "The other driver admitted it was his fault."  "Witnesses reported it was the other persons fault."  "The accident report says it was the other guy's fault."  Why, then, is the insurance company being so unfair.

The answer, unfortunately,  is simple -- because they can.  The at fault driver's insurance company (or possibly even your own insurance company if the at fault driver was uninsured) owes you nothing and is not required to pay you a single penny until a judge or jury orders them to do so.  The insurance companies know this and take full advantage of it.

Does this mean I have to go to trial?  No.  In fact only a very small portion of car wreck cases go to trial.  Cases settle when an insurance company believes it will cost them more to go to trial than to offer a settlement.  This is why experienced personal injury attorneys, like those at Collins Law Offices, are normally able to obtain much higher offers than individuals.  We investigate the accident, collect the evidence and documents needed, and prepare your case from the beginning  just as if we were going to trial.  The insurance companies know that we are not bluffing.  We are not scared to file a lawsuit if they are being unfair.  And, we are ready and prepared for trial, if necessary.  It is hard work, but this is how we are able to get the results that make are clients happy.
