Five-figure settlement reached without filing suit
The situation
Our client was injured after a slip and fall at a grocery store in Metairie. The firm was retained shortly after the incident to evaluate the claim and pursue compensation for injuries and related medical expenses.
What we did
- Conducted an initial consultation to gather details of the incident and assess liability
- Investigated the circumstances of the fall and gathered supporting documentation
- Prepared and submitted a demand letter to the store’s claims administrator
- Negotiated directly with the administrator to reach a fair resolution
- Prepared the release and settlement statement to close out the claim
The result
The matter resolved through pre-suit negotiation, with the parties agreeing to a five-figure settlement. All medical liens were satisfied prior to disbursement, and our client received their settlement funds without the time or expense of formal litigation. The file was closed within approximately three months of retention.
