Here’s How We Win Your Case: Exchanging Written Offers
As I said in one of our other blogs in this series, most cases gets settled in one of 3 ways:
- Mediation
- Settlement Meetings
- Exchanging Written Offers
Exchanging Written Offers
So far we’ve discussed how your case can be settled by Mediation and Settlement Meetings. In this blog, we discuss exchanging offers. Once again, we base this on which insurance company and lawyer we happen to be dealing with, the nature of the issues in dispute, and the prospect for settling the case without the assistance of a mediator or a settlement meeting.
Offers can be exchanged at any time, however, we would need to have enough updated information for these offers to be productive, and to have any chance at a receiving a meaningful response from the insurance company.
Based on our past experience with all of the insurance companies and the lawyers representing them we usually have a pretty good idea as to whether exchanging offers is likely to be a fruitful exercise.
If we believe that making such offers will be a waste of time, we will certainly tell you that as we handle your case.
A Settlement Proposal Can Be A "Wake Up" To The Other Side
Sometimes, submitting a settlement proposal can be used to “wake up” the other side so that they will consider scheduling a mediation or settlement meeting, where they have otherwise been putting up barriers to moving the matter along.
The most appropriate strategy is determined on a case-by-case basis by taking advantage of our years of experience in handling cases like yours to determine the most effective course of action for you.

A note from our long term disability lawyers
Taking a medical leave from work is not an easy decision to make. Concerns about providing for yourself and your family and keeping your job may cause you to want to push through your pain, but this won’t make your problems go away. Stopping work is often the smartest decision for your long term health and well-being, and your disability benefits are there to provide you with financial support until you can return to work.
If you have made the tough decision to stop working and apply for your short term disability or long term disability benefits, you may feel overwhelmed by the process and have questions that your employer and your insurance company are not able or willing to answer. Share is There to see you through and answer your questions.
Our Disability law firm knows what you have been going through
We understand that things have not been easy for you over the last little while. Your health has been suffering, you are unable to work, and now your insurance company, who was supposed to be there in your time of need, has decided they will not pay your disability benefits or respect your disability claim. These benefits exist to provide you with the financial support you need so that you can focus on your health and rebuilding your life. It is unfortunate that your insurance company has not lived up to its promise. If your disability claim has been denied, we will fight to get you the benefits you are entitled to.
