As I mentioned in my last post, pain from auto collisions tends to get worse in the days following the incident.  The effects of “soft tissue” injures such as herniated and bulging discs may not manifest themselves for days or even weeks, but have life-long consequences. Some insurance companies have been taking advantage of this by offering potential claimants who have recently involved in collisions small sums of money for a release of their “bodily injury” claim. If they do make an offer, the insurance company will likely express a sense of urgency in taking the money. We strongly advise against accepting these offers. Although it is possible to fight the release of your claim, a Court may hold you to the “deal”.  As the saying goes, patience is the companion of wisdom!
