I’m constantly asked, should I sign an insurance company release form? Hi, my name is David Anderson. I’m a personal injury attorney here in Central Florida, and I’d like to answer that question for you.

The answer is no, not before speaking with an attorney. An insurance release form ends any claim that you have against the insurance company. So, for example, if you incurred medical bills or lost wages after your insurance release form has been signed, you and your family may be left owing those bills. So signing an insurance release form too soon may leave you uncompensated.

If you or someone you know has been injured as a result of someone else’s carelessness, seek the advice of a qualified attorney as soon as possible to guide you through the legal process. Give us a call at one-eight hundred BURNETTI. Thanks for watching.
