Re: settlement offers
While a $2,000 offer certainly sounds low based on $1,700 medical bills, it is impossible to say that with certainty until all of the facts of your case are known. Small differences in facts can make a big difference in the amount your case is worth.
Also, keep in mind that insurance adjusters are paid to get you to settle your case for as little as possible. They are experienced negotiators, whereas most accident victims are not, and most attempt to take advantage of that fact.
If you have not already done so, you should consult an experienced attorney who can explain the process and your options to you. If you need more information, you can visit my personal injury blog (www.SCPILaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com).
Good luck,
