Accepting the First Car Accident Settlement Offer

Answer:

Sometimes clients ask about settling cases out of court and whether we ought to take the first offer. We will say virtually never. We never say completely never because there’s always a case where maybe you’ll get an offer and that is yet, depends on the fact of the case. Typically, we won’t take an initial offer. We will counter and it goes into valuing cases and what we think our office can do. Typically, no, we do not accept the first offer. It opens a door to negotiations, though, and that’s what we do. If you’ve been injured in an auto accident case in Nassau County, Duval County, the other outlying counties in northeast Florida or southeast Georgia, call us. We’ll sit down and talk about these things and figure out how best to help you.
