English to French Bus/Financial Finance (general)

If a situation arises where we have a good faith belief that a claimant’s monetary offer to settle a covered claim is reasonable when you do not, then we will neither compel you to accept the settlement offer nor will we cease providing cover for such a claim merely because you did not accept the offer. However, if we recommend that you do accept such an offer and you elect not to, then our maximum payment toward that particular claim following the rejection or expiration of that offer ***will be outstanding covered defence costs*** incurred up to the date the settlement offer was rejected or expired, plus the amount of the unaccepted settlement offer, minus your remaining excess on the day the settlement offer is rejected or expires.
