How Much Will The Settlement Offer Increase As My Personal Injury Lawsuit Moves Forward?

Quick answer

Will a personal-injury settlement offer rise after you file suit? Yes, though he won't assign a percentage, says Pierce County, Washington attorney Spencer Freeman. He files precisely because pre-litigation offers were too low—the whole point is to drive the number up. The insurer, meanwhile, wants to keep what it can. Every case differs, but some climb quickly once filed.
