How Insurance Companies Decide on a Settlement Offer
Each insurance company uses its own formula to determine how much money they will offer victims in a personal injury settlement.
They may start with any medical expenses the victim has suffered, and then multiply that amount by a number based on the severity of the accident and the victim’s injuries. To that number, they may add the value of income that the victim lost due to the accident, and they typically use that total amount as an estimate of how much they owe you.
If you work with a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer, they can use their skills and experience to determine how much your case is worth, help you evaluate the insurance company’s offer, and help you negotiate for the full amount you’re owed.
Your attorney can also help fight for compensation to cover both your current and future expenses. Oftentimes, the insurer’s initial offer is much lower than the amount they are actually willing to pay, and it usually doesn’t account for your future losses like reduced ability to earn income or future medical bills. If you accept their low settlement offer, then you might end up having to pay out-of-pocket in the future for costly expenses caused by your accident.
