Whenever the insurance company makes you an offer, it's always accompanied by the statement, "This is what we believe to be fair value." A few years ago, we had a client come to us who had tried to work her claim by herself and was given a fair value offer by the insurance company of $800. We obtained her records; she was still under care. We navigated the process and ultimately resolved her case for $80,000.
Now, I'm cautious to say that we're not going to do that in every case or get you ten times what the original offer was. But it is a warning to victims: when the insurance company says, "We believe this offer is fair value," it’s fair value according to their rules. $800 was clearly not fair value. We built the case, reviewed everything, and finally persuaded those on the other side to take a fresh look at this. We asked them to consider what happened to this lady. That $800 went to $80,000, and that’s the type of success we can bring to people.
