After being in a car accident, expenses can add up quickly. Above all, if we end up with injuries that require constant medical treatment and even surgical interventions.
On the other hand, the repairs to our car and/or the replacement of our damaged property also represent expenses that we did not anticipate and we may find ourselves in a difficult economic situation.
That's why it can be very tempting to accept the first offer of compensation that the responsible party's insurance company can make. However, doing so may not be the best decision we make to take care of our interests.
