[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Opposing Attorney's Name] [Opposing Attorney's Firm] [Address] [City, State, Zip] Re: Settlement Offer for Case [Case Number] Dear [Opposing Attorney's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to discuss the recent settlement offer received on behalf of my client, [Your Client's Name], in the aforementioned case. After thorough evaluation and careful consideration, it is with regret that I must decline your settlement offer at this time. First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge your effort in presenting a reasonable settlement proposal. However, after consulting with my client and carefully analyzing the facts and circumstances of this case, we firmly believe that accepting the current offer would not be in our client's best interests. Here are the key reasons for our decision to decline the settlement offer: 1. Insufficient Compensation: The proposed settlement amount does not adequately compensate my client for the damages suffered. We firmly believe that the compensation should reflect the full extent of the physical, emotional, and financial toll this case has taken on my client. 2. Liability Dispute: As you know, liability remains a point of contention in this case. While we respect your interpretation of the facts, we maintain a strong position denying any negligence or fault on the part of my client. Given the disputed liability, it is crucial to proceed with the legal process to ensure a fair resolution. 3. Future Medical Costs: The current settlement offer does not account for the potential long-term medical treatments or rehabilitative care that my client may require. It is crucial to consider the full extent of my client's injuries and the associated costs to provide fair compensation. Furthermore, I would like to reemphasize our commitment to pursuing a just and equitable solution for our client. In light of the aforementioned factors, we believe that further negotiation and diligent litigation efforts are necessary to achieve a satisfactory resolution. I kindly request that you convey this information to your client and reconsider their settlement proposal. Furthermore, I suggest that we explore alternative settlement options, such as mediation, to facilitate a more fruitful discussion towards a resolution. Please consider this letter as our formal decline of the settlement offer. We remain open to further negotiation and discussion to resolve this matter in the best interest of both parties involved. Thank you for your understanding. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
