Absolutely not. Accepting a settlement offer means you absolve the insurance company or liable driver of any future financial liability for the accident.If the insurance company offers you a fair and reasonable settlement, that works in everyone’s favor: you get the money you deserve, and the insurance company does not have to worry about future expenses coming its way from you.
However, the problem is the insurance company doesn’t play fair. Their initial settlement offer will only be a fraction of what you really deserve. The insurance adjuster wants to reduce the company’s financial liability and discharge its responsibility following the accident as quickly as possible. Don’t fall for it.
