Welcome back to Legally Speaking, San Diego. I’m your host, Catalina Flores. Today we have a very special guest, Richard Morse, Esq., from Morse Injury Law. Mr. Morse has been representing victims of car accidents and other personal injuries for over two decades in the San Diego area. Today we’re diving into one of the most crucial stages of a personal injury case: negotiation and settlement.
Richard, can you walk us through the negotiation process? What are some key points our viewers should be aware of?
The Art of Negotiation
Catalina, negotiating with insurance companies is an art form. It requires a deep understanding of the law, the ability to meticulously build a strong case, and the skill to advocate effectively for your client’s best interests. Ordinarily, we begin by sending a comprehensive demand letter to the insurance company outlining the details of the accident, the extent of our client’s injuries, and the damages they are entitled to receive.
The insurance adjuster will then review the demand letter and may propose a settlement offer. Consequently, if their initial offer is inadequate, we will engage in further negotiations, presenting additional evidence and legal arguments to support our client’s claim for fair compensation. Our goal is always to secure the maximum possible settlement for our clients without subjecting them to unnecessary litigation.
The Value of Mediation
Now, if negotiations reach an impasse, mediation can be a valuable tool. Mediation involves bringing in a neutral third-party mediator who facilitates discussions between the parties and helps them find common ground. It’s a less formal process than going to court, and it often allows for more creative solutions.
Notwithstanding the challenges involved, most cases are successfully resolved through negotiation or mediation. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that over 95% of personal injury claims are settled before trial.
I remember one case where the insurance company was initially reluctant to offer a fair settlement for our client who had suffered a severe back injury in a car accident. They disputed the extent of her injuries and argued that she was partially at fault. After presenting strong medical evidence and expert testimony during mediation, we were able to convince them to agree to a much more favorable settlement that covered all her medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
