Imagine this: just days after an accident, the insurance company offers you a check for $5,000. It’s quick money, and you might be tempted to accept it. After all, why would you need a lawyer when you can have cash in hand right now?
Here’s the truth: accepting that money could be one of the costliest mistakes you’ll ever make.
At Herrman and Herrman, we’ve seen countless cases where quick payouts turned into lasting regret. Let us explain why hiring our experienced personal injury attorneys can make all the difference—and potentially save you from financial and emotional hardship.
What’s Behind the $5,000 Offer?
When the insurance company offers you money right away, it’s not because they’re looking out for you. It’s because they want to settle quickly and cheaply. In exchange for the check, you’ll be required to sign a release of claim, which means you’ll give up your right to pursue any further compensation—even if your injuries worsen or new expenses arise.
The Hidden Costs of a Quick Settlement
Injuries from car accidents often don’t fully reveal themselves immediately. What feels like minor discomfort today could develop into a serious condition weeks or months later. Without the ability to seek additional compensation, that $5,000 can vanish in no time as medical bills pile up.
At Herrman and Herrman, we’ve handled cases where initial injuries seemed minor but later required extensive treatments like surgeries, physical therapy, or long-term care. With us by your side, you’ll never have to worry about selling yourself short.

When you work with Herrman and Herrman, you gain:

- A Shield Against Insurance Tactics – Insurance companies are experts at minimizing payouts. We’re experts at holding them accountable.
Why the Insurance Company Might Be Rushing
Quick offers often happen because the insurance company knows something you don’t:
- Did their insured driver admit fault to the police?
- Was there evidence of intoxication or reckless behavior?
- Could their liability exposure be much greater than they’re letting on?
Our legal team has the resources to investigate these questions thoroughly, ensuring no critical detail is overlooked.

We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases.

We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.

- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.

Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
