You think that's how settlement negotiations really go in an accident case or a medical malpractice case or even in a wrongful death case here in New York.

You think that merely because you have placed a demand on the insurance company who represents the people that you have sued that negotiations will take all of 30 seconds.

I will tell you that having practice law in NY for more than 26 years, I can tell you that discussions with the insurance company never go like that. Ever. It just doesn't happen.

Even if you have the strongest case possible.

Want to know why?

That's because there are two competing agendas here.

The insurance company's agenda is to try and limit and reduce the amount of money they are legally obligated to pay to you as an injured victim.

On the other hand, an injured victim's attorney has an agenda that is just the opposite. His goal is to try and obtain as much compensation as possible for your injuries and the harms that you suffered.

There are some injured victims who think that all they have to do is simply pick up the phone and speak to the insurance company adjuster. They think the strength of their accident case will make the adjuster say "Anything you want sir, and by the way, where should I mail your check?"

It doesn't happen like that.

Even in cases that are clear-cut where it is obvious to all that the people you are suing were careless and caused you harm, the defense will always try and save money against the insurance policy and against the amount you're asking for.

Even if they are not always successful in trying to save money, they still will do everything possible to try and reduce the amount you're seeking.

They will raise every argument possible to explain why your damages are not as severe and significant as you claim them to be.

When you have significant discrepancies about the true value of your injuries, legally known as damages, that will usually prompt both sides to try and negotiate.

There are many instances where negotiation is unsuccessful and your case then proceeds to trial. In that instance, a jury will have to determine what the real value of your injuries are worth.
