Is Your Injury Settlement Fair? Signs of a Lowball Offer

Personal Injury Law Podcast | Iacobelli Law Firm

Insurance companies often try to settle injury claims for less than they’re worth. In this video, we break down key warning signs that your insurer may be making a lowball offer, including:

✅ Vague settlement offers with missing details

✅ Offers that don’t fully cover medical bills, lost wages, or pain & suffering

✅ Adjusters using pressure tactics to rush you into signing

✅ Downplaying the severity of your case

✅ Deliberate delays to push you past filing deadlines

Insurance adjusters frequently present initial offers that fail to cover the full extent of your damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, future treatment costs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. An experienced lawyer can assess the true value of your claim, ensuring that all damages are accounted for. Don’t settle for less than you deserve—your case is likely worth more than the insurer’s offer! With legal representation, insurers take claims more seriously, knowing that attorneys understand case law, negotiation strategies, and courtroom procedures. A lawyer can advocate for a higher settlement or take your case to court if necessary.

Before signing anything, get legal advice!
