A settlement is a negotiated agreement to resolve your claim without going to trial. Your attorney and the insurance company go back and forth on a number based on your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering, until you both agree or it becomes clear negotiation won’t get there and a lawsuit is the next step.
What happens once you agree
You sign a release giving up your right to pursue further compensation for that crash, and payment typically follows within a few weeks. That release is exactly why settling too early, before you know the full extent of your injuries, is such a costly mistake.
