Your case can't be closed by the insurance company
We are representing a nice laborer who hurt his knee on the job, had surgery for a torn meniscus and for the most part has made a good recovery. He's a the type of worker every company should want; doesn't make waves, works hard, shows up every day, etc.
His daughter called the insurance company and asked for a settlement offer. Her dad would have taken whatever they presented no matter how low the offer was. Instead the adjuster said something like, "Sorry, your case was closed and can't be re-opened. There will be no offer."
WRONG!!!
An insurance company can't just close a case. Now your case might be barred because of a statute of limitations problem, but some adjuster can't just one day decide to tell you that the case is over. As they said in Animal House, "It's not over until we say it is!"
End of the story is that the case has been filed and you can bet our client who would have taken whatever was offered will be getting full value for his claim.
