Negotiation and Settlement

Today, I’m joined by Richard Morse, founder of Morse Injury Law in sunny Carlsbad, California. Richard, thanks for taking the time to speak with me today.

Richard, can you shed some light on the negotiation and settlement stage of a car accident case?

Certainly. After we’ve thoroughly investigated your case, gathered evidence, and filed a claim with the responsible party’s insurance company, the real work begins: negotiating a fair settlement. Ordinarily, this involves back-and-forth communication between my office and the insurance adjuster, aiming to reach an agreement that adequately compensates you for your injuries, losses, and suffering.

Negotiation can be complex. Insurance companies are businesses focused on minimizing payouts. Consequently, they often start with lowball offers hoping we’ll accept. But I’m a seasoned negotiator and I know the true value of your claim. My goal is to secure the maximum possible compensation for my clients.

We may utilize mediation if negotiations stall. Mediation involves a neutral third party who helps facilitate discussions and find common ground. Nevertheless, if we can’t reach a satisfactory settlement through negotiation or mediation, we are prepared to file a lawsuit and take your case to trial.

Have you ever encountered any roadblocks during the negotiation phase?

I remember one case involving a young woman who suffered a severe back injury in a rear-end collision. The insurance company initially offered a paltry sum, claiming her injuries weren’t that serious. I presented strong medical evidence demonstrating the extent of her pain and limitations. They underestimated the strength of our case and the resilience of my client. After several rounds of negotiations, we secured a settlement significantly higher than their initial offer.

It was gratifying to see justice prevail for this deserving individual.

According to a study by the Insurance Research Council, approximately 80% of personal injury cases are settled before going to trial. This underscores the importance of skilled negotiation in achieving favorable outcomes.
