West Palm Car wreck - Written Response in an Automobile Case 1-800-74-TRIAL

Dear Mr. Adjuster:

This will acknowledge our telephone conversation of March 12, 2009 regarding possible settlement of this case. Your offer of $7,500 in response to our $22,000 de¬mand has been communicated to my client.

You have indicated that the damages in this case are speculative as they are based upon chiropractic bills and loss of self employment income. I am well aware that insur¬ance carriers do not place chiropractors in the same light as orthopedic specialists. However, the general public believes in chiropractors, the legislature of this state has recognized chiropractics in its workers' compensation statute, and the license boards of this state recognize the chiropractors who will testify in this case. Furthermore, the probability of one or more jury members having been treated by a chiropractor is quite significant.

Secondly, our client is a credible and honest man whose testimony regarding loss of income would be believed and supported by a reasonable jury. To my knowledge there is no evidence to the contrary in this case.

In short, the questionable damages are only questionable because you have raised your own doubt. I will concede that reasonable minds may differ in the value of a per¬sonal injury case and in an effort to compromise, I will reduce our request for settle¬ment to $16,000. Please consider this reduction as a good faith effort on my part to achieve settlement.

I would appreciate a response as soon as you have had a chance to reevaluate this case.
