How settlements work
A settlement trades your claim for a payment. Once signed, it’s usually final.
The release
To get paid you sign a release ending your claim against the parties released. Read who is released and whether anything is excluded, such as UM claims.
Before you accept
- Are you done treating, or is future care included?
- Have all insurance policies been identified?
- What liens must be repaid?
- What will your net be?
