$70,000 Settlement: Litigation is very time consuming and expensive, so we try our best to settle cases before it gets to the point of filing a lawsuit. Sometimes, though, we just don’t have a choice. In a case we recently settled, our client had low medical bills and as a result, the insurance company didn’t seem to be taking her injury very seriously. Prior to filing suit the offer was $30,000, we were eventually able to resolve the case without going to trial for $70,000.
