FAQ
If the client rejects the offer which the solicitor has advised be accepted, then the solicitor is under a duty to report that situation to the legal expenses insurers. They will almost certainly refuse to back the claim any further.
File a Lawsuit You can initiate a personal injury lawsuit if you and the insurance company can't agree on a settlement value. Filing a trial will bring the matter before a judge or jury who may decide to award the damages per your request.
When you reject a settlement offer, it triggers negotiations between you (or your lawyer) and the insurance company. This allows you to submit a counteroffer that better reflects the value of your damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
You do not have to accept the settlement offer right away; you will have at least 5-7 days to make your decision and if you believe you should be owed more, you can contest the offer. In order to prove to your insurer that your car is worth more, you will usually need to provide evidence of this.
If you find the offer unacceptable, your attorney can draft a formal letter and propose a counteroffer. This letter should clearly state that the initial offer is unacceptable and refute any inaccuracies in the insurance adjuster's statements.
Medical evidence will detail the full extent of your injuries and explain how long it will likely take for you to recover fully. It's seldom a good idea to accept a settlement offer before medical evidence has been obtained.
However, refusing a settlement offer does extend the life of your claim and delays when you receive compensation. If you have pressing medical bills or other expenses, this is a factor to consider. You'll also need to invest more time and energy into your case, including providing more documentation of your damages.
This letter should clearly state the reasons for rejecting the offer, such as it not providing maximum compensation for the damages incurred. Provide specific reasons for your rejection, highlighting the damages and losses not covered by the proposed settlement.
