Question:

Should I take the first settlement offer from the insurance company?

Answer:

When a client contacts us about a potential nursing home or assisted living facility abuse case, and they’ve already received an offer from that nursing home or assisted living facility, I would not recommend that they take that first offer. If a client or potential client receives an offer on such a case before they contact us, I would always advise the client to reach out to an attorney before they have any further discussions or consider taking that money.
