When you are facing mounting medical bills from injuries sustained in a truck accident, it can be tempting to simply accept the settlement offer from the insurance company so you can pay the pile of bills. But that mindset is a short-sighted one. The initial settlement offering may not be in your best interests long-term and it may be far less than the compensation you justly deserve. If you have sustained serious injuries in a truck accident, you may be facing rehabilitative treatment, surgery, or additional medical care in the future. The settlement offered by the insurance company may not factor in those additional future costs and then will not cover all of your losses. If you have received a settlement offer from an insurance company, it is in your best interests to consult with an experienced truck accident lawyer to determine the overall value of the proposed settlement and obtain an estimate of your long-term costs.
