If you’ve been hurt, the adjuster has probably already called. They sound friendly. They sound helpful. They are not on your side. Paying you less is how they make money — that’s not a conspiracy, it’s their business model. Here’s what they say, and what it actually means.
They want one sentence they can use against you later.
Fast money is cheap money. The offer is early on purpose.
A claim with a lawyer on it costs them more money.
South Carolina reduces what you recover by your share of the blame.
It rarely is. Their “final offer” in one of our cases was $250,000.
A settlement release closes your case permanently. If the pain doesn’t go away, if you need surgery next year, if you can’t go back to the job you had — that’s your bill now, not theirs. That is exactly why the offer arrives early, while you still think you’re fine.
If you’re still treating, nobody knows what your case is worth yet — including them. They’re betting you’ll take less to make it stop. Plenty of cases should settle.
Just never settle before you know the number.
You deserve treatment. You deserve answers. You deserve what your case is really worth.
Don’t Settle.Results vary by case and depend on specific facts and circumstances. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Remember their “final offer”? In mediation, the insurance company’s top number was just $250,000. We didn’t take it — we took it to trial, and the jury returned a $1.75 million verdict: seven times their best offer.

Brent Heist — Historic Charleston, SC
I started Heist Law to do things differently. I believe in straight talk, hard work, and treating people the right way.
I’ve dedicated my practice to standing up for injured people across South Carolina against insurance companies that try to pay them less than they deserve.
When you hire me, you’re not just a case number. You’re a neighbor, and I’ll fight for you like one.
We go deep in our own backyard — the working neighborhoods of North Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry. When your neighbor has an accident, they should already know who their lawyer is. We come to you.
Also representing clients across South Carolina — including our recent $1.75M jury verdict in Horry County (Myrtle Beach & Conway).
Brent and his team genuinely care. They kept me informed every step of the way and got me more than I expected.
He answered my calls, explained everything, and fought hard for me. I highly recommend Heist Law.
Me trataron como de la familia y me ayudaron en español en cada paso. Brent peleó por mi caso. Lo recomiendo.
