Rear End – Initial Low Ball Offer

Published: 02/17/2022

Our client was rear-ended on the 15 freeway during bumper-to-bumper traffic. Our client suffered multiple spine and neck injuries and aggravated other pre-existing injuries. With over $30,000.00 in medical bills, the at-fault driver’s insurance company made an initial lowball offer of $10,000.00 to settle the claim. We quickly convinced the driver’s insurance company to pay the entire $25,000.00. But the work was not done there. After getting the driver’s policy limits, we discovered that the vehicle owner had a separate insurance policy. As such, they could get their $25,000.00 policy limits as well for a total settlement of $50,000.00. We were able to turn a $10,000 offer to a $50,000 payment without having to file a lawsuit.
