We have developed a series of key personal injury case reports designed to ensure the most thorough development of the case, the education of our clients about all aspects of their cases and the value of their cases and the presentation of a forceful settlement demand that leads to fast and full value settlements. There are three key documents in this process: the Investigative Report, the Case Assessment and the Settlement Proposal. We want to take a closer look at our Settlement Proposal which sets the stage for successful negotiation of a personal injury case.

A Manhattan woman and her husband went shopping at a big box store in the Bronx. While standing in the check out line, an employee knocked over some wood that hit the woman in the head. The incident left the woman with a concussion and neck and arm injuries. She retained our firm to represent her. The big box store initially attempted to deny liability and refused to negotiate on the case, but we built a strong case that compelled them to accept liability. The store then sought to minimize the value of the case, but we worked with our medical team and case law analysis to raise the value. In the end, the store, which said they would pay nothing, agreed to settle the case for $72,500, making for a very happy client.

A Bronx woman visiting her mother in Manhattan tripped and fell on a hole in the hallway floor and injured her ankle. The building was owned and managed by New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The woman hired our firm to represent in her in a negligence case against the City of New York. After investigating the trip and fall incident and developing the case, we presented a Settlement Proposal to the City. The City recognized the strength of our liability case and the value of the injuries and agreed to settle before we had to file suit. Our client grinned ear to ear when she learned the news, thrilled with both the speed of the settlement and the amount of money she will receive.
