Personal Injury 101: Don't be too eager to settle. The claims adjuster you will be dealing with will want immediate resolution. Don't fall for the temptation of a fast check. Otherwise, you'll have no recourse if months later you begin experiencing residual pain from your injuries. Before agreeing to a personal injury settlement, be sure you are fully healed and certain of no lingering pain or impairment. Above all -- always follow the advice of your personal injury attorney!
