I’m Belinda Ramirez, reporting for the Vista Voice. Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Richard Morse, a seasoned attorney at Morse Injury Law, who specializes in personal injury cases.
Richard, can you tell us a bit about the negotiation and settlement process following a car accident?
Certainly, Belinda. After we’ve thoroughly investigated a case and gathered all necessary evidence, the next crucial step is entering into negotiations with the insurance company representing the at-fault party. Our goal at this stage is to secure a fair settlement that compensates our clients for their injuries, damages, and losses.
Negotiations can involve back-and-forth communication between our legal team and the insurance adjusters. We present a strong case, outlining the liability of the opposing party and providing evidence to support our client’s claim for compensation. This might include medical records, police reports, witness statements, and expert testimony.
Ordinarily, we strive to reach a settlement agreement that meets our client’s needs without resorting to litigation. However, if negotiations stall or the insurance company refuses to offer a reasonable settlement, we are prepared to file a lawsuit and proceed to trial.
Have there ever been any roadblocks during this negotiation phase?
Unfortunately, Belinda, encountering resistance from insurance companies is not uncommon. They often try to minimize payouts or deny liability altogether. I recall one case where the opposing insurance company initially refused to acknowledge their client’s fault in a rear-end collision.
We had compelling evidence, including dashcam footage clearly showing their insured driver distracted by their phone at the time of impact. Nevertheless, they persisted in denying liability. After presenting this irrefutable evidence during mediation, we were finally able to secure a favorable settlement for our client.
It’s situations like these that underscore the importance of having experienced legal representation. We understand insurance companies’ tactics and know how to effectively negotiate on behalf of our clients.
According to a study by the Insurance Research Council, settlements are reached in approximately 95% of personal injury cases. This highlights the effectiveness of negotiation as a means of resolving disputes outside of court (Insurance Research Council, 2018).
