Would not negiotate settlement on my car that burned.

When my 1993 BMW caught fire and burned, I received a call from the adjuster with a settlement offer of $3200. I told the adjuster that the offer was laughable and that I would not accept that amount. I was told at that time that Geico would not negotiate. That was their offer and it would not change.

One week later, I was notified by mail that the adjuster and her boss had gone and reinspected the car and that they were lowering the offer to $2600. I do not know at this time what will happen next. Do we not have the right to negiotate?

If you have no information to support your side of the negotiations, you aren't negotiating. You are making unreasonable demands. Thats just the nature of what a negotiation is... Report
