What if I disagree with the settlement offer in a construction accident case?

In Tennessee, if you disagree with the settlement offer in a construction accident case, you have the right to reject the offer and take your case to court. However, this is not recommended unless the offer (or any subsequent offers) are significantly less than what you believe you are entitled to. It is important to consult a lawyer before making this decision, as they can give you an accurate assessment of the strength of your case and provide advice on what you should expect to receive in a settlement or if the case goes to court. In court, you must prove that the party at fault in your construction accident case was negligent and that their negligence directly caused your injury. Your lawyer can also present evidence to the court to prove that you are entitled to damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The final decisions about settlements will depend on the facts and evidence of the case. It is important to remember that filing a lawsuit is a risky choice, as it can take a long time to receive a decision and the outcome may not be in your favor. There is also a chance that the court may award only a portion of the damages you are seeking, and that you may be ordered to pay court costs and the other party’s legal fees. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider all of your options before deciding to reject a settlement offer.
