[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Opposing Attorney's Name] [Opposing Attorney's Law Firm] [Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: Settlement Offer for [Case Name or Number] Dear [Opposing Attorney's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing in response to your recent settlement offer in the above-mentioned case. After careful consideration and consultation with my client, we regret to inform you that we are unable to accept your proposed settlement offer. While we appreciate your efforts in reaching a resolution, it is our belief that the current offer does not fairly represent the damages and losses incurred by our client as a result of the incident in question. We have thoroughly analyzed the facts of the case, including the strength of evidence, expert opinions, and precedents, and are confident in our client's position. To provide further clarity on our decision, I would like to address specific aspects of your offer that we find unsatisfactory: 1. Quantum of Settlement: The amount offered does not adequately compensate our client for the physical, emotional, and financial hardships they have endured. We have taken into account medical expenses, lost wages, ongoing therapy costs, and the impact this incident has had on their quality of life. We believe a fair settlement should reflect these losses appropriately. 2. Liability and Negligence: Your offer appears to assume a shared liability or reduced negligence on your client's part. However, the evidence overwhelmingly indicates clear negligence and fault on their behalf. We are confident in our ability to prove this during litigation, should it become necessary. 3. Future Damages: Your proposal fails to account for any potential future damages our client may suffer due to the incident. It is crucial to consider ongoing medical treatment, potential complications, and long-term impact on their overall well-being. Please understand that our primary goal remains the pursuit of justice for our client. We are open to engaging in further negotiations to explore the possibility of a reasonable settlement that truly reflects the damages incurred. However, any future offers must address the points outlined above and truly compensate our client for their losses adequately. In the absence of a mutually acceptable settlement, we hereby notify you of our intent to continue with litigation proceedings. We believe our client's case to be strong, and we assure you that we will pursue all legal avenues available to secure a just outcome for them. Moreover, we maintain our commitment to open communication throughout this process, and we encourage you to share any revised settlement proposals you may have. We are willing to consider new offers that address our concerns and provide fair compensation to our client. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We hope that, despite our disagreement on the settlement offer, we can engage in respectful and productive dialogue moving forward.
