While it may be tempting to accept a settlement early on in the process to speed matters along, it may not be in your best interest to do so. In fact, these kinds of offers are often only extended when it is fairly obvious that the victim is not at fault in the incident. With that in mind, you should seriously consider consulting with a personal injury attorney before making any decision regarding the settlement you have been offered, especially since that settlement may be considerably less than you anticipated. If you have been offered a settlement for the injuries you sustained in a construction accident, the New York construction accident attorneys at Hach & Rose, LLP, can help you make an informed decision about your future. To discuss the particulars of the settlement you have been offered, please call our New York offices at 212-779-0057 today.
