Insurance companies have a history of providing victims and/or their loved ones with an initial settlement offer in order to quickly resolve their claim. However, with insurance companies, it is often their priority to pay the victims as little compensation as possible after an accident. This can be interpreted to mean that the initial settlement offer provided to victims will undercover the true amount of financial stressed incurred by the victim.

It is also possible that an accident victim suffers injuries that lead to life-long treatment and care. This often can include long-term rehabilitation, requiring the aid of a caregiver or even requiring medical assistive equipment.
