An insurance company may approach you about your injuries in a wrongful death case. Chris Kreeger’s advice is to decline for now and get a second opinion from a trial lawyer. Meeting face to face lets you review every option and make sure a settlement is not too low before you accept it.
Get a Trial Lawyer’s Opinion Before a Wrongful Death Settlement
I think you should tell that insurance adjuster, “No thanks. And I’m going to get a second opinion from a trial lawyer.” My recommendation is to go meet with the lawyer face-to-face, sit down and discuss all of your options and make sure you’re not leaving any money on the table. And then if you feel that settlement’s in your best interest, then you should take it.
