Before you sign a waiver or cash a check from an insurance company, you should definitely speak to a lawyer first. Insurance companies may want to avoid the hassle and costs that come with filing a lawsuit, so they may ask you to sign a release saying that you waive your right to sue or bring any legal action against the defendant. They are interested in a quick settlement, which can be done through the check that they provide you.
It is important to speak with your attorney first since they will look out for your best interest. The check for a quick settlement may not cover all of your damages that you experienced. You deserve to get justice by being compensated for your losses, and insurance companies may try to avoid this by doing and offering anything to avoid a lawsuit against the defendant. Also, many insurance policies require you to get their permission before signing a release, so this may get you in trouble with your own insurer. Then, your insurer may not be able to pay you what you deserve. Speaking to your attorney will help clarify many details of your case and help you to decide if signing a release is the right decision, depending on the circumstances of your case.
