Question:
Should I Take the First Settlement Offer?Answer:
In Illinois, one of the most important questions that we hear from people is, “Should I take the first offer that’s been made by the insurance company?” We would say, in the 10 to 15 years, the insurance companies have gotten incredibly aggressive about trying to settle people’s cases short and immediately; they’ve even gone as far as using cars to drive to people’s houses on the day of or the day after an accident, with a checkbook, in an effort to try to resolve your claim.
Settling your case for the first offer is oftentimes a terrible situation. As a matter of fact, we often receive calls from people that have taken that first offer and have settled their case, and, unfortunately, there’s little to nothing we can do for them. If the insurance company is already making an offer to you, we would strongly encourage you to give us a call. We will discuss your case with you.
