This is very common and we encourage you to learn the reason behind this. After someone else’s negligence has caused your injuries, an insurance agent may call to “check-in” and even say you are owed a certain amount of money. This might sound great to you when you have medical bills piling up. Especially when this is the case, speak with your attorney because the insurance agent is likely giving you a much lower settlement than you deserve. Never sign anything from an insurance company until your Des Moines, IA personal injury lawyer has had a chance to look at it.
