The first step in the negotiation process is the demand package. Our firm puts together all of the materials we have collected in your case and prepares a narrative report for the insurance company that will make you a person in their eyes, rather than a claim number. We work to anticipate any possible defenses, and present the arguments that would be necessary should the case proceed to trial.
Once the insurance adjuster receives the demand package, they will evaluate your claim for approximately one month depending on the complexity of the issues in your case. After the adjuster completes an initial evaluation, they will contact Burnett & Williams to discuss the possibility of settlement. The path of your case is generally determined at that point. The insurer might accept liability for the accident, make an initial settlement offer, or request additional information.
The adjuster and attorney will then begin the process of negotiating a favorable settlement on your behalf. We involve you every step of the way, and never make a demand or accept an offer without first obtaining your approval. Then to Disbursement or
