When pursuing compensation for a personal injury, it's only natural to want to obtain the best offer possible in order to move forward with your life. Luckily, Peck & Peck Attorneys At Law are here to help. With more than 35 years of combined experience, this team of injury attorneys serves clients throughout the Hartford, Connecticut, area. They understand how to get you the compensation you deserve when negotiating an injury settlement.

Here, Peck & Peck Attorneys At Law share three tips for getting the best injury settlement possible:

• Come Up With A Desired Amount: Before you start negotiating, have an amount of money in mind you feel is adequate for your situation. Don't reveal this amount to the other party — simply use it as a point of reference in your negotiations. You know how much you need to feel comfortably compensated for your injury, and when the other party extends an offer, you will know if it meets your needs or requires further deliberation.
• Include Your Emotions: While an injury settlement is, in many ways, a business deal, it shouldn't exclude your emotional experience. During negotiations, include the emotional impact of the injury you've sustained. For example, if you've been hurt in an auto accident and have compelling photos of your totaled car, send those images to the other party. Remind them of your pain and suffering. Your injury attorneys at Peck & Peck Attorneys At Law will help you build the most effective case as you negotiate your injury settlement.
• Don't Rush To Accept The First Offer: It's normal during negotiations for the other party to throw out a lowball figure in the beginning stages. If this figure doesn't meet your expectations, you are under no obligation to accept it. Consider all offers carefully, but don't feel pressured to accept less than you feel you deserve. The injury attorneys at Peck & Peck Attorneys At Law will work with you to know what is a reasonable offer and what requires further negotiation.
