That depends. Have you finished your medical treatment? Are you still feeling pain? Does it seem like the insurance provider for the trucking company that is responsible for your wreck is in a hurry to get you to settle?

Some insurance companies will assign a specific person to establish friendly contact with you, ask about your medical condition, ask you about what happened in the accident, offer to pay for the damage to your vehicle, and offer to pay you to settle your personal injury or wrongful death claims. The money they will offer is usually well below the value of what you would recover in a lawsuit.

It is possible that the insurance company is offering you a fair amount, but at the Anderson Law Firm we recommend scheduling a free consultation with us before taking any money from the insurance company. In that meeting, we can give you our legal opinion on what your course of action should be and what your best options are.
