If I accept a settlement offer, can I later claim additional compensation in California?

Once you accept a settlement offer and sign a release form in California, you typically cannot pursue additional compensation for that particular injury in the future. Settlements are usually full and final, which means it’s essential to ensure the offer fully covers all current and future expenses related to your injury. That is why before accepting any settlement offer in a personal injury case, it’s wise to consult with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney like The Law Offices of Fernando Vargas. We can evaluate any offers to ensure they include the maximum compensation possible, and if they don’t, we will fight to get you the full compensation you deserve.
