What is the name of your state? Illinois

A substandard insurance company offered to settle an auto accident case for much less money than it would take for me to fix my car. Not to mention that they will not pay for the car rental.

The other party took full responsibility for the accident because, my car was parked and unoccupied.

I was told by the claims adjuster that they would not do anything further for me until I signed a release. They sent me a letter that states they need a signed original copy of the release form.

Not knowing that I was stepping into a trap I signed the release and faxed it over to their offices. Is it a binding contract if they do not have a signed original copy?
