When you accept an insurance settlement, you agree not to pursue additional compensation from whoever caused the accident. So, if you take a settlement offer that’s too low, you most likely won’t be able to get any more money if you need it.
That could mean you may not have the resources to pay your future medical bills, cover your lost wages, and pay for any additional care you may need. Before you accept any insurance settlement, speak to a lawyer to see if you’re getting a fair deal. If the offer is insufficient, your attorney can build a persuasive case and pursue full coverage of your losses.
