Subject: Mississippi Sample Letter to Opposing Attorney Declining Settlement Offer Dear [Opposing Attorney's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing in response to the recent settlement offer made by your client, [Opposing Party's Name], in relation to the case of [Case Name/Number] pending in [Court/Jurisdiction]. Upon careful consideration and after consulting with my client, I regret to inform you that we cannot accept the proposed settlement offer for the following reasons: 1. Inadequate Compensation: The offered settlement amount does not sufficiently reflect the extent of the damages suffered by my client. We firmly believe that the compensation should appropriately cover the physical, emotional, and financial losses incurred. 2. Negligence/Responsibility: The settlement offer fails to acknowledge the level of negligence or liability on the part of your client, [Opposing Party's Name]. We firmly assert that [Opposing Party's Name] bears a significant share of responsibility for the incident, which justifies pursuing a more favorable resolution. 3. Future Medical Expenses: The settlement offer disregards the potential long-term consequences of the injuries sustained by my client. It is crucial to consider the future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and ongoing treatments that may arise as a direct result of the incident. 4. Fairness and Justice: Our commitment is to seek fairness and justice for our client. The proposed settlement offer does not sufficiently address the impact the incident has had on their life and does not adequately compensate for the pain, suffering, and inconvenience endured. 5. Strength of Evidence: We believe that the evidence and testimonies gathered substantially strengthen our client's case. It is our firm belief that presenting the case to a court trial will yield a more favorable outcome for our client, based on the strength of the evidence at hand. We understand the desire to reach a resolution swiftly and efficiently, but we firmly believe that further negotiation or, if necessary, a trial will better serve the interests of our client. We remain open to discussions that address our concerns and provide a more reasonable and just settlement offer. Please consider this as our official response declining the current settlement offer. We kindly request that you relay this message to your client, effectively expressing our position and willingness to pursue alternative means for resolution. We are prepared to undertake any necessary steps to protect our client's rights within the bounds of the law. Furthermore, we anticipate your understanding and cooperation moving forward. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly to discuss any further details or proposals you may wish to share. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
