Settling an insurance claim below the cap
Background
Overview
Our client
An insurance company in Alberta.
Where we began
Our client faced an action brought by a woman with injury claims from two accidents with no dispute on the liability issues.
Our approach
While we were on the lookout for a case to take to litigation, the client was willing to settle for an amount within the cap. "The case had the ideal facts to fall within the cap, but we settled before we could litigate for an amount within the cap on account of non-legal pressures."
The result
According to Christine, "We didn't get the law we wanted, but it was an offer we had to take after looking at, analyzing and discussing all of the options."
