What is the name of your state? CA
Need some legal advice -
My dog was affected by the pet food recall from Menu foods in March. Her kidney's shut down and she spent a considerable amount of time in the hospital. I am at an impasse with the insurance company in my attempt to settle the case and get payment. We have reached a monetary solution however, they are requiring that I sign release which states, "In consideration of the receipt of $ from Nutro, which is hereby acknowledged, Consumer, on behalf of himself or herself, and all of his or her successors, heirs, executors and affiliates, hereby releases and discharges the following:"
In this release it never states the dollar amount of the settlement offered nor does it state when they will release a check to me or that the release is not in effect until I have received a check and the check has been paid by the bank. I am very concerned that I could sign this releasing all of my rights and either I will never receive a check or they will not release a check to me within a short period of time and I will have no recourse. They are unwilling to add wording to the release stating this nor are they willing to send the check to one of their local offices so I could go in and give them the release at the same time as I receive the check.
At this point in time I have been informed there is nothing further that can be done if I will not sign the release they have provided. No further discussions will ensue on their end regarding this as well.
Does anyone have any advice on this situation?
