My friend's neighbor's condo caught fire, filling my friend's unit with smoke while I was there. I suffered smoke inhalation. My demand letter included a detailed description of what happened, emotional/financial harm, and a request for $9,500. The claims adjuster just countered with an offer for $5,000.
Is there any risk at all in countering their counter-offer? I would settle for $5,000 if I absolutely had to, but feel around $8,000 would be fair. Is there any possibility that if I countered for a larger amount, I could lose even the $5,000 offer?
This seems extremely unlikely but would just like to make absolute sure.
Thanks,
Henry
