Cashing an insurance check or signing an insurance release before having an attorney review it



	Mistake to Avoid Cashing an insurance check or signing an insurance release before having an attorney review it Accident victims often cash insurance checks or sign an insurance release thinking they are just giving their approval to have their vehicle repaired or replaced. Unfortunately, cashing an insurance check or signing a release for your property damage can prevent or limit how much money you receive for your injury claim. Money for items such as medical bills, lost wages, and even pain and suffering can be limited in this situation. Not having an experienced lawyer review an insurance check or release before you sign it can prevent you from making an injury claim for more money. Be smart! Have a trusted lawyer review any insurance check or release before you sign it.
