Information and Insight for Injured Iowans

      There are many myths surrounding car accidents. As Cedar Rapids, Iowa personal injury attorneys, we are often asked questions about claims. One such question is when to settle.

     Most insurance companies will only issue one settlement check for a car accident injury claim and –after that check – the insurance company will never pay any additional money for that particular accident in the future – even if your injuries get worse. If any of the following applies, you usually should avoid a quick settlement:

·         If you are still receiving medical care for accident-related injuries

·         If your accident-related injuries will likely require additional medical care in the future

·         If you have not yet been able to return to normal activities – especially work-related activities

     If you are still in one of the above situations five months after a car accident, you should immediately consult with an attorney to see what legal deadlines may apply to your personal injury claim.
