Re: Auto accident /Insurance problem

Where was the accident? What are the facts of the accident? The low-ball offer you received is typical of many insurance carriers, especially these days. Whose is the carrier you are dealing with? To get any meaningful improvement on any settlement offer, you will probably have to file suit. You need to consult with an experienced plaintiff's personal injury attorney. I am licensed in Washington; I can also refer you to a highly capable PI lawyer in Seattle with whom I work extensively. Please feel free to give me a call. Whether or not you may choose to work with me, you really need to have some legal help on your side at this point in time.
