Should I Accept the First Settlement Offer in Indiana? Usually Not — Here's Why

Insurers open low, hoping you'll accept before knowing the full extent of your injuries. Once you sign a release, the claim is over for good.

Why First Offers Are Low

The Risk of Settling Early

Some injuries worsen or require future care. Settling before you reach maximum medical improvement can leave those costs uncovered.

Leverage You May Be Giving Up

A documented demand and willingness to litigate often produce far better offers than the first number.
