What is the name of your state? Mississippi.

I don't trust the insurance company. I don't want to ask them.

Does that mean the insurance will pay me? I can't read legal stuff or legal language well.

Do I only need a witness signature?

It said sealed...It didn't say there must be a notary.

This is just one page. No room to put a notary stamp on it.

This form says they will pay you whatever is listed and in exchange for that you won't come after them or their insured any more on this matter.
We can't tell you if that is a good idea or not, you'll have to make that call yourself or talk to your own attorney.

It appears since they didn't explicitly ask for a notary, you can use any person as a witness (preferably one who knows you are).

SEALED has nothing whatsoever to do with a notary. It kind of historical legalese that indicates you understand that this is an enforceable contract.

Has the property (car, whatever) been completely repaired or are you getting the money in advance of repairs.

If the latter, I would be concerned (before signing) about what the company would do if any additional damage was discovered during the repair process.
