Should I take the insurance company’s offer? | Gee Law Firm
If you say they offered me a certain amount of money and I don’t know the facts of your case, I don’t know the circumstances, I don’t truly know what your losses are, I can’t tell you whether that’s good, bad or an indifferent number. I can tell you if you bring those facts to us and let us evaluate those facts, we’d be in a better position to tell you whether it’s a good offer based on the circumstances and your facts. What a lot of people want to tell you as well, “My cousin had an accident 15 years ago and they got A, B and C.” I didn’t know what your cousin’s facts were so I can’t tell you that’s good or not. What I need to do is to be able to evaluate your claim, your circumstances. One of the things that people will forget, you may have somewhat of an orthopedic injury without broken bones, but you have pain and discomforts in your system and not even with scaring. Some people want to look at that and say, “Well, you weren’t hurt that bad,” but this is something that you may have to deal with for the next 25 years. You want that lawyer to understand that this is a long-term problem that you’re having. What is that worth to you? The other side to that is, under certain circumstances, we’re aggressive about individuals who may hurt someone but they did it because they were texting, or they were drinking while driving. With those things, a judge or a jury is going to look at you differently when you ask for certain amounts of money based on what you can get in the law. I can’t tell you what to take, but I can tell you if I know the facts, I can put you on the track to get what’s appropriate.
