If the insurance company has already offered you money

after you've been in an accident,

you just wanna be real careful that you've made sure

that they're offering you money for all of your damages.

In order to know what all of your damages are,

you might wanna really take a look at the law

or talk to a lawyer,

or maybe even use my tool, SettleSmart,

which is free for you to figure out what your case is worth

and ask you the specific questions that you need to know

in order to make a claim for all the damages

that you might be legally entitled to.

But I would be very cautious about taking an offer

from an insurance company without fully understanding

how much coverage is available,

what the full extent of your injuries are,

and whether or not they're gonna pay the medical bills

in addition to compensating you

with whatever they're offering to pay you.
