Construction Accident Settlement Offers

Question: Should I accept a settlement offer from the insurance company?

Answer:

When you are injured at construction sites, one of the things that happens very frequently is an insurance company will come in, make a quick offer, and put a release in front of you. People ask all the time, “I was injured here in Texas at the construction site and they’ve made me an offer. What should I do?” The first thing you should do is think; Why are they making a quick offer? Why do they want you to sign a piece of paper that says once you’ve cashed this check, your case is over? Nobody knows the extent of your injuries at that point. Nobody knows how long you’re going to be out of work. Nobody knows the impact your family’s going to have.
