Understanding the Role of Insurance Companies
When you file a claim for injuries sustained in an accident, you are essentially seeking compensation from the at-fault party’s insurance company. Understanding how insurance companies operate can help you navigate the negotiation process more effectively.
Insurance companies aim to minimize payouts and protect their interests by employing various tactics, such as:
Claims Investigations: Insurance companies conduct thorough investigations into claims to determine liability and assess the extent of damages. They may use this information to justify offering a lower settlement amount.
Low Settlement Offers: Insurers often make initial settlement offers that are lower than the actual value of your claim. They hope that you will accept the offer out of desperation or lack of knowledge about your rights.
Delays: Insurance companies may delay the claims process to put pressure on you to accept a lower settlement. They may request unnecessary documentation or drag out negotiations.
Liability Disputes: In some cases, insurers may dispute liability or argue that you were partially at fault for the accident. This tactic is used to reduce the amount they have to pay you.
Our team of skilled personal injury lawyers in Flagstaff anticipates these tactics and will advocate on your behalf every step of the way. Contact us today to learn more about what representation you need to negotiate effectively with insurance companies.

Building a Strong Negotiation Strategy
At Antol & Sherman, we excel at building strong negotiation strategies for personal injury cases. We start by assessing the value of your claim and carefully evaluating the extent of your injuries, the impact on your life, and your financial losses.

We will then craft a persuasive argument supported by evidence to build a compelling case on your behalf. This included gathering all relevant documentation, such as medical records, expert opinions, and witness statements.
Knowing When to Take Action: Settlement vs. Litigation
It can be difficult to decide whether to accept a settlement offer or pursue litigation.
Factors to Consider When Deciding Whether to Accept a Settlement Offer
When deciding whether to accept a settlement offer, we recommend considering the following factors:
- The extent of your injuries
- The overall impact on your life
- The strength of your case
- The potential value of a trial verdict
Our legal team can advise whether a settlement offer is fair and reasonable.
Potential Outcomes and Risks of Litigation
Litigation involves risks and uncertainties. While going to trial may result in a higher potential payout, it also comes with the risk of receiving a lower verdict or losing the case altogether. We explain these potential outcomes and risks to help you understand the implications of pursuing legal action.
