Q. Can a case be reopened once it has been settled?
A. Most settlements require you to sign a release that prevents you from pursuing any additional claims in the future, so generally, once a case is settled, that’s it. This is why hiring an attorney is so important. You don’t want to sign your rights away.
The most important thing you can do at this time is talk with a Lynnwood personal injury lawyer about your situation ASAP. Another thing that prevent you from getting the compensation you deserve is waiting to long to pursue the claim. To discuss your potential claim, contact attorney Robert Kornfeld for a free legal consultation at a place of your convenience, such as your home or hospital room.
