Should I accept a check from the at fault driver or their insurance company after my auto accident?
The answer to this is very simple. No, never and as silly as that may sound, their offer to you is typically a low ball or below value offer and they're going to try to get you to do that to sign away any rights to a full recovery that you may have. And it is for that very reason it is so, so vitally important to have an experienced attorney looking over the information. Because for example, they may be offering you $3,000 which may sound like a lot, but it may be that your claim is really worth $100,000. So that is why the answer is no.
