Should I accept the first settlement offer from an insurance company in Georgia?

In almost every serious injury case, the answer is no. The first offer from any insurer—whether the at-fault driver’s carrier or your own UM/UIM carrier—is a low-ball figure designed to close the claim quickly. Insurers know that most unrepresented claimants do not know the full value of their case and are often under financial pressure from medical bills and lost income. The offer is almost never final. Once you accept and sign a release, however, you cannot go back. Before accepting any offer, have an experienced Georgia personal injury attorney review it. At Haug Barron Law Group, that consultation is free.
