You should never accept a settlement offer from an insurance company after an injury accident without first talking to our experienced attorneys. The reason for this is that insurance companies are in business to make money. They do this is by getting injured individuals to agree to a quick settlement offer. Unfortunately, accepting a quick settlement is almost always a mistake, because it is too early to fully realize the amount of medical treatment and quality-of-life impacts that the injury will produce. This is particularly true in the case of an injury to a developing child, who will not know the extent of the injury for some time.
If you accept a settlement offer and then later realize that the compensation that you received was not enough, you can’t go back and ask for more money. An experienced child injury attorney will appropriately value the case so that you can feel confident that the offer reflects past, current, and likely future expenses and impacts.
