MYERS & COMPANY
Track Record
Track records are established over decades and thousands of cases.
If we don’t receive a fair offer, we file suit. If the offer doesn’t improve, we try or arbitrate the case.
It seems like it would be SOP. But it isn’t standard procedure for most firms—especially the high volume firms you see advertising on buses or billboards. Those firms take what they’re offered before suit is filed.
Here’s a chart that makes the comparison pretty graphic/stark. We’re in blue. A typical high volume firm is in red. (And, with these numbers, I’m giving the high volume firm the benefit of the doubt.)
We just resolved a case where the injuries were pretty modest and the client didn’t want to seek out more treatment. We sent a demand and received a low offer.
So we filed suit. The insurance company assigned a very experienced attorney who has defended 10 or more cases with our firm in the past.
The attorney on the other side knew that if we didn’t receive a fair offer we would arbitrate or try the case. In the end the insurance company paid just about what its worst day would have looked like at arbitration.
Two claps for establishing a track record of pushing forward into suit and trying or arbitrating cases where the insurance company doesn’t offer enough money.
