After an accident, an insurer may offer a settlement surprisingly fast. While quick money is tempting, first offers are almost always lower than the true value of a claim.
Insurers make early offers strategically — before you know the full extent of your injuries, before you've finished treatment, and before you understand what your claim is worth. Once you accept and sign a release, the claim is generally closed for good.
This is especially risky with injuries that worsen over time or require future care. If you settle before reaching maximum medical improvement, you may be left paying for ongoing treatment out of pocket.
Before accepting any offer, it's worth having an attorney evaluate your claim. A free review can reveal whether the offer reflects the real value of your injuries or leaves significant money on the table.
