Because you are essentially asking for compensation for various injuries from the at-fault person or business, insurance companies will find loopholes and other grounds for rejecting or lowballing your claim.

If you are asked to sign a liability release or medical authorization form, soon after a personal accident injury as part of your settlement offer, the insurance company can access medical records, as well as details about your current and previous work history.
Filing a personal injury claim, as a result of an accident in which you suffered an injury, means all legal aspects of your physical, financial and emotional losses must be considered. It also means a critical examination of not only the medical records from the accident injury, but your entire medical history, any pre-existing medical conditions, and previous worker’s compensation claims. Additionally, if the death of a loved one was the result of someone else’s carelessness or neglect, you could be justified in filing a wrongful death lawsuit on their behalf.
You should not sign any insurance liability release or medical authorizations forms without experienced legal counsel. Since these documents are legally binding, once you accept the settlement agreement, you may actually receive less compensation and you could be legally prevented from recovering additional damages resulting from the same injuries at a later date.
If you accept a settlement offer soon after your accident injury and you are still seeking medical treatment, you may not be aware of the severity of your injuries (i.e., soft tissue or a traumatic brain injury/TBI) or how catastrophic the immediate physical and emotional consequences can be for yourself or your family.
Though your highest priority will likely be your medical treatment and recovery, the other critical decision you may face is obtaining an experienced law firm to advocate on your behalf through the remainder of this process. You may be feeling completely overwhelming and traumatized by the pain of a life-altering injury. With insurance companies, regulatory requirements, forms, deadlines, and so many nuances that can leave your head spinning, a personal injury attorney can sort through the bureaucratic obstacles to obtain the compensation you deserve.
