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.

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.
