I was already offered a settlement in my Fort Lauderdale burn injury case. Should I accept it?

Not without speaking to an experienced burn injury lawyer first. Insurance companies will often offer to settle third party claims quickly. Unfortunately, these offers are generally far lower than the value of the case. The problem is that settlements are a one-time deal: if you agree to the amount that is offered and then later realize that it wasn’t enough to cover your expenses, you are not permitted to go back to the at-fault party’s insurance carrier and ask for more money.

An experienced attorney will determine a value to your case that considers all of your expenses and the psychological impacts that your injury has caused.
