Sometimes you get a bad offer directly from the insurance company. Sometimes, you get a bad offer from your lawyer. But rarely do you completely understand why the numbers are where they are. Chicago injury lawyer Scott Desalvo addresses two common scenarios: low settlement offers directly from insurance companies and low offers received through lawyers. Direct dealings with insurance companies can result in low offers because they aim to settle quickly and for less, knowing individuals might not hire a lawyer. Suggestions for those handling cases without a lawyer include seeking a consultation, utilizing online case evaluation tools, and challenging insurers to justify low offers. For individuals with lawyers, Desalvo advises making sure attorneys explain settlement offers thoroughly, either verbally or in writing, ensuring clarity on the decision-making process.
