Settlement Negotiations: Introduction

Settlement Negotiations: Introduction

Negotiate with Insurance Companies and WIN!

You do not have to become a Persian rug buyer in a bazaar to negotiate a settlement of your claim! Far from it, in fact.

The most important tool you need to negotiate a settlement of your claim is paperwork. All those documents you're being told to copy and keep are about to look like gold to you. With the appropriate documents, you can build your case in a way that is meaningful to an insurance adjuster. Because you have gathered and held onto all your medical records, you can know what the insurance company record shows.

Your Confidential Personal Diary

now becomes another piece of your gold, where you can find out how long it took for the physical therapy on that broken leg, or when the bruises finally faded and your face looked like a normal person again instead of a dying Christmas tree. Because you have included every expense in your Confidential Personal Diary on a daily basis, you are able to list your expenses for the insurance company.

When your injury has subsided or completely healed and you are again living a full life (or as full as it will be post-injury), you are ready to begin settlement negotiations. Review the Rules of the Game before starting.
