How to Get Policy Limits on a Small Budget
FACT
At mediation the defense generally only pays out to the policy limits; however, it is their intention to settle for a lesser amount or take their chances in court if they see you are unprepared.
It's up to the plaintiff’s attorney to provide evidence that supports their financial demands for settlement and convince the defense that it’s not worth the gamble to take the case before a jury. Whether the policy limits are $250,000 or $25 million, the goal is to get the maximum and more.
ACHIEVING RESULTS
To achieve the desired results (policy limits and more), you need to take advantage of every tool at your disposal and traumatize the defense.
Personal Injury attorney, Ray Coleman explains how he gets results and obtains policy limits for his clients.

“To get policy limits you have to traumatize the defense. I spring hard hitting Day in the Life video footage on them at the last minute and claim it is work product. The defense counsel usually thinks this is just another mundane case, but after they see the carefully edited and factual video evidence, it strikes fear in them.
The shock value strengthens my case. It causes them to be suddenly become unsure of themselves, and that means a jury could also become unsure and hit them with a huge verdict.
There is no doubt that using Day in the Life video is a sure-fire way to get policy limits quickly. Uncertainty is our friend. Evidence never seen before is how you get the policy limits.”
