What to do if you settled your personal injury case in Virginia directly with an insurance company and you immediately get cold feet or have second thoughts. If you are unrepresented and you decided to handle your personal injury case on your own and you settle that case with the insurance company here in Virginia and you immediately get second thoughts that maybe you didn’t get enough money or a fair settlement on a case, there are very limited circumstances in Virginia where you might be able to undo that settlement with the insurance company. You need to very quickly consult with the personal injury lawyer. But if you’re unrepresented and you back out of the settlement within a certain number of days in writing, you can rescind the settlement agreement, undo the deal, and either resume negotiations yourself with insurance company or at that point you want to talk to an experienced personal injury law firm like Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers. An example, I represented a very nice young woman who settled her case for just a couple thousand dollars. And then within a couple days, I think the next day of the settlement she agreed to, she had a complication that was related to the wreck. She called us. We signed her up as a client. We contacted the insurance company immediately because she was smart enough to call us right away. We still had time. We rescinded that agreement. Instead of only getting a couple thousand dollars, it turned into a six-figure case. So, if you’ve settled, you’re unrepresented, and you’re having second thoughts, call a personal injury attorney right away. See if you still have time to undo what you now feel is a mistake. No need to worry. Call Cooper Hurley, The Car Crash Experts. 333-3333.
