5 reasons to think twice before accepting a quick settlement after an accident
Early settlement offers are often low and may not cover long-term damages; consulting medical and legal experts helps victims secure fair compensation.
- Accident victims should consult medical professionals and personal injury lawyers before accepting any settlement, Morgan, Collins, Yeast & Salyer advise, with Stacker reviewing and distributing this guidance.
- Insurers routinely send minimal first offers to accident victims, as claim adjusters hope overwhelmed victims accept without fully understanding their rights or claim value.
- Some injuries reveal their severity only after weeks or months, and detailed medical documentation from medical professionals strengthens claims and clarifies long-term impacts.
- Signing settlement documents and cashing a lowball settlement check permanently closes a case, leaving accident victims without funds for future treatment if conditions worsen.
- After an accident, victims often feel overwhelmed while insurance adjusters quickly present first offers, so waiting until you understand ongoing medical needs and recovery protects your compensation rights.
