What is the name of your state? Illinois
Hello,
I was in a car crash on 12/6/07 the other driver has admitted fault and her insurance has made me an offer on my car. It was totaled and I accepted the offer although it is less than half of what I paid for my car two months ago it seems like the best offer they are going to make and I really need to buy another car (they stop paying for a rental after they made their first offer) my question is after I accept the offer for the car they are sending me forms to sign and then hopefully a check. If I sign the forms accepting the offer for my car, will that affect my still pending medical claim? Also the insurance company is sending a Rep to my house to have me sign papers for my medical claim. I was told this needed to be done to release my medical records and set it up so they can pay the medical bills. Is this normal? And should I be signing any of these papers without a lawyer. I live paycheck to paycheck and really cannot afford an attorney at this time and I was hoping to settle this medical claim quickly so I can get on with my life. Thanks in advance for any assistance in this matter.
Thank you,
