[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 570143, member: 4264"] Important to not sign off on anything for quite some time. I did far too soon, and realized that despite no breaks at the time, the nerve and muscle damage has lasted long term and I was dumb to have taken their offered settlement. I mean, I did nothing via insurance except get the replacement wages for the time I was forced off work and my medical costs for prescriptions. They badgered me by phone, despite me never calling the guys insurance company myself for any reason, wanting me to sign off. I kept saying no, not interested. I had meant I was not submitting a claim, but I guess I wasn't clear. Each offer was a bit higher. I was puzzled (naive!!!) at their constant daily calls and offers when I thought I was clear I wasn't making a claim. Finally i was so annoyed and the guy called with giberish of we want to close this file off by xyz date, would you consider (insert amount) and sign off? I was exasperated so said fine. They had couriered documents overnight, within 72 hours had a cheque to me. What a foolish mistake I made. A year later, I realized I was permanently going to have nagging issues that medical documentation proved directly caused by the accident. If I hadn't given in to the nagging, and had sought legal advice, I would now be able to go for therapy that may help give me some relief. You're a smart cookie, I know this. But warning you anyhow in case you're the same as me, in not wanting to be all "Give me a settlement", only to have it bite you later. I do hope you feel better soon!!! [/QUOTE]
