Probably not. Do not accept an insurance check or any payment until:
You have gotten medical treatment and recognize the extent of your injuries.
You have consulted with an auto accident lawyer and understand the full scope of your claim.
Some insurance companies may be motivated to settle cases as inexpensively and quickly as possible. Many are for-profit companies, and they want to keep their expenses low so that their profits remain high. One way of doing this can be to offer lowball payments to trusting claimants before serious injuries are realized and related bills have accumulated. It is important to discuss your options with a licensed attorney knowledgeable in this area of the law to help you weigh your options and risks.
