Question:
Do you recommend taking the insurance companies initial offer after a bus accident?
Answer:
A question we get a lot is, “If I’ve been injured in a bus accident case in Kansas, is it okay to take the initial settlement offer made by the insurance company?” Our recommendation is, no, do not take that initial offer. First, the insurance company will sometimes want to offer you something early on, before you’ve even finished treatment that you need or before you’ve really fully recovered from the injury, and, at that point, you don’t even know the extent of your damages and whether the offer is a fair amount. Even once you are done with all your treatment and you have an idea of what the value is of your case, the initial offer from the insurance company is usually not the top dollar that the insurance carrier is able to pay.
There usually requires a fair amount of back-and-forth, negotiations with the insurance company, to get them to that top dollar and to an amount that’s fair for the injuries you’ve suffered and is a good recovery for you, so it really is helpful to have an attorney who can help you through that process, help with those negotiations and make sure that you are getting a good recovery from the insurance carrier.
