It’s tempting to take an initial settlement offer from the at-fault party’s insurance company, but never do so without first consulting with your Las Vegas car accident lawyer. Most initial settlement offers are much lower than you’ll actually need to cover all of your damages. It takes time to understand the extent of your injuries, what future medical care you’ll need, how long you’ll be out of work, and more, which should all be considered in a fair settlement offer. As part of accepting a settlement, you will likely waive your rights to pursue further compensation in the future.
