What is the McDill tender and why does it matter in the course of pursuing my fair settlement?

A: Lafayette, Louisiana lawyers know how frustrating it can be after you have been injured in a crash. Car insurance coverage can be difficult to understand and dealing with insurance companies is a headache. You need an attorney who understands legislation like the McDill tender when filing claims for motor vehicle crashes.

The McDill tender ruling came from a 1985 Louisiana Supreme Court case involving a client filing suit against the Utica Mutual Insurance Company. After this decision, it became law that your insurance company must make a fair settlement offer if you provide evidence of uninsured motorist coverage after a crash.

Car and motor vehicle crashes can cause serious injury and leave your family with expensive medical bills, lost income, and the chance of long-term disability. Lafayette, Louisiana lawyers know that a fair settlement is important to the victims of a serious crash.

Car accident settlements are often too low at first, but your attorney knows that through the McDill tender rules they are obligated to pay you for the amount of damages you suffer beyond the basic insurance coverage. This will help you gain an upper hand in obtaining a fair settlement for your injuries.

To claim a settlement under McDill tender rules your attorneys can help you prepare the written demand to send to your insurance company. As soon as they validate that you do in fact hold uninsured motorist coverage, your insurance company must make good on a proper McDill tender or they could be facing penalties.
