Should I Accept a Settlement Offer?

When you're hurting or your loved one is in the hospital after an accident, the insurance company will know you're desperate and confused. That's why they'll usually take that moment to offer you a few thousand dollars to settle your case—maybe even $20,000 or $30,000. That sounds like a lot of money now, but know that insurance companies only offer the bare minimum in a first settlement offer. If you take the first settlement offer, then you're leaving money on the table. That's why people need personal injury attorneys like us.
