The other party’s insurance company may approach you right after the accident with a fast settlement offer. However, this is usually as low as possible. Insurance companies are not on your side. Once you accept the settlement, then you can’t go back for additional funds later.
You may develop complications from your injury, and if you settle, the party that caused your accident won’t be required to compensate you for these additional complications. However, an experienced spinal injury lawyer can ensure you get the maximum settlement amount.
