There are KEY 2 reasons why pre-medical offers still exist and both are caused by Claimant & their Solicitors:-

1. Simple economics:- supply and demand. The value of an injury / claim is only worth as little or much as an injured party is willing to settle for.

+

2. For reasons of cash flow (and often greed) the big bosses at Claimant firms set ridiculous settlement targets and beat their fee earners with a stick if they fail comply with these. But in reality, the fee earners have little control over actually WHEN claims settle, the insurers hold the cards. Therefore in order to meet stringent targets, fee earners will allow clients to accept such.

I accept that such offers are also in the interests of insurers. You cant beat them up for this - If 2 identical items were on the shelves in your local supermaket with different price tags, which would you buy?

ps I am not an insurer or Defendant Solicitor
