    Rejection of settlement offers is part of the negotiation to achieve the best settlement possible.  Under contract law, once an offer is rejected, that offer becomes null and void.  Alternatively, you can make a counteroffer in hopes of receiving a better offer.  A verbal acceptance of an offer can result in a binding agreement.  Negotiations with insurance companies can be difficult and challenging.  Hiring an experienced personal injury attorney will help avoid the pitfalls of settlement negotiations.
