I live in New York. I was in an accident in which another driver made an illegal U-turn and slammed into me. The guy offerred to pay for repairs to my car. However, he tried to "bargain" down the amount and in the end sent only partial payment--about 3/4 of the estimated cost of repair.
If I cash the check, does it imply a "final settlement" on the matter or can I still pursue the additional costs?
I will have to report it to his insurance company etc. but I'd rather not wait for another drawn out process to get the money.
Thanks
