Patience Pays Off

I thought I would share a story with you. I have been working on a MIST case for 3 years now. Client treated with her MD and then a new chiro. The chiro treated her on a lien. When she was done, we made a demand and the offer was zero. Filed the lawsuit and client’s deposition was taken. Poor would be an understatement. But, that is how it goes. Offer went up a bit. We arbitrated the case. (Most cases in

California

go to a non-binding judicial arbitration.) Arbitrator’s award: 5x the last offer from the insurance company plus costs. Yesterday, the adjuster called and offered to pay it in full if I would waive entry of judgment against their insured. Fine with me.

Moral of the story: a little patience and letting the attorney work up the file properly gets the cases resolved.
