What if you do not like the Insurance Company offer?
Tell them you do not think it is fair, but make sure you give solid reasons. They may just listen to you.
Remember, they are discounting the offer some what. Especially if you do not have a lawyer. The attorney fee is 20% so they figure you are saving 20% upfront.
If you have a lower wage this will make the value lower. The wage is based on the 52 weeks before your injury.
The insurance company’s motivation is too close out any additional medical treatment. That is usually the biggest part of most claims. If you can point to future medical you may need, then they may increase their offer.
