The insurance company has already offered me money, cash up front. Only fools rush in.
Do not jump immediately at the cash offer. This is not advisable, because you might not
be aware of all of your damages. You might have injuries that manifest days, weeks, months
on down the road, and if you jumped at that cash offer and signed that release of claims,
that's it. You don't get two bites at the apple.
The insurance company knows that the allure of upfront, quick cash is tempting. Patience
is a virtue, but in the terms of a personal injury case, patience is golden. So if the
insurance company has offered you a cash settlement, make sure you're properly protected. Call
a personal injury attorney immediately, and they will give you a consultation and help
to advise you on the best course of action.
