No. Consult our experienced Philadelphia Lyft accident lawyers first.
An insurance company for the person or entity legally-liable to you for your injuries will sometimes offer a settlement that does not reflect the full compensation you deserve for your injuries, hoping you will take it because you need the money. Although this type of offer can get money in your hands quickly after an accident, it will almost always fall well short of the compensation you really need to cover your medical bills and other expenses after a Philadelphia Lyft accident.
Accepting a settlement offer relieves a legally liable party of further financial responsibility for your injuries and losses. In other words, it is a one-shot deal. If you agree to a settlement that turns out to have paid you too-little, you cannot go back to the party or its insurance company for more.
Instead of jumping at that first check, work with a Philadelphia Lyft accident attorney who has the skill and knowledge to calculate how much compensation you should insist on receiving following your accident. An attorney can also handle negotiation with any legally-liable party, defense attorney, or insurance company, so that you can focus your energy on healing from your injuries.
