Dear [Opposing Attorney's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you in regard to the recent settlement offer presented on behalf of your client in the [case name]. First and foremost, I would like to express my appreciation for your efforts in attempting to reach a mutually agreeable resolution in this matter. However, after careful consideration and consultation with my client, we have reached the decision to decline the settlement offer. Upon reviewing the settlement proposal, it became evident that it does not adequately reflect the true merits of our case or the extent of the damages suffered by my client. The offer fails to address our client's immediate and long-term needs, and does not fully compensate for the pain, suffering, and emotional distress endured as a result of the incident in question. Additionally, I feel compelled to remind you of the legal standards relevant to this case, particularly those specific to Nebraska. As you may be aware, Nebraska follows the principle of comparative fault, which means that liability and damages are apportioned based on the proportionate fault of each party involved. Our client firmly believes that their actions, or lack thereof, do not contribute to the cause of the incident. Furthermore, there are precedents established in Nebraska case law that are highly favorable to our client's position. These precedents have reaffirmed the importance of fair compensation for victims of personal injury, and we intend to present this evidence in court, should the need arise. In light of the aforementioned factors, we believe that pursuing litigation is in our client's best interest. We understand that this decision may further prolong the resolution of this matter, but it is our duty to diligently advocate for our client's rights and ensure they receive the appropriate compensation they deserve. It is my sincere hope that we can continue to engage in constructive discussions throughout the litigation process. While we have declined the current settlement offer, we remain open to further negotiations if a more appropriate and equitable resolution is proposed. Please consider this letter as a formal indication of our decision and a reminder of the legal landscape in Nebraska. We will proceed with the necessary actions to move this case forward. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
