The driver’s insurance company has offered me a settlement, but it barely covers what I’ve spent on hospital bills so far. Should I take the money and sign a release?
Not unless you have first spoken with a lawyer and given the lawyer a chance to review the insurance company’s offer first.
You should never accept an insurance settlement or sign anything that an insurance company representative offers to you without the advice of a lawyer who is experienced with the type of accident you have been involved in. You could be giving up money you deserve.
You may not be getting fairly and fully compensated for your injuries and expenses, including:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and future lost earnings
- Pain and suffering.
The attorneys at Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C., can sit down with you and review your circumstances to determine whether you are entitled to a better settlement for your losses.
