Pre-Consultation Cautionary Guideline
Insurers frequently condition initial settlement disbursements on an irrevocable general release of all future claims, including unknown latent injuries. Review lien subrogation (health insurance / ERISA) and statutory deadlines prior to executing settlement agreements.
