Question:
Do you recommend taking the insurance companies initial offer for a wrongful death claim?
Answer:
Late last year, we received a phone call from a gentleman down in Corpus who wanted to know whether or not he should accept the first settlement offer made by an insurance company in a wrongful death case involving his wife. The answer to that question is always going to be no. You should never accept the first offer made by an insurance company.
You have to remember that these insurance companies have a negotiation strategy, and the purpose of that strategy is to try to pay as little as possible in settlement of any claim. To answer that specific question, no, you should never accept the first offer made by an insurance company in a wrongful death case or in any case.
