Personal Injury Lawyers

Serving Hartford, Waterbury, New Haven and Surrounding Areas

No settlement will ever be made without your consent.

It usually takes the insurance company several weeks to review the settlement package. After they make an offer that your attorney feels is reasonable, we will contact you to discuss the offer and get your consent to accept it. This will be a very thorough discussion and all of your concerns will be addressed before we settle your claim.

If the insurance company does not make a reasonable offer, we will discuss whether or not to file a lawsuit.

Settlement

When a settlement is accepted, you sign a Release of Claim form and the insurance company sends us a check made payable to you and our firm, usually within 30 days. You must sign the check and the funds will be deposited in the firm’s Clients’ Fund Account.

While waiting for the check we will contact everyone who has been waiting for payment to negotiate a reduction of fees where possible and obtain the final balances. Again, this can take time. When the figures are in, settlement closing is scheduled. At the closing, you will receive your check and a financial statement showing how the rest of the funds have been disbursed.
