Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

I was recently rear ended by an uninsured motorist. It wasn't a very bad accident, but I do have to replace the rear bumper and took a couple days off for whiplash related soreness. I have uninsured motorist insurance, and the insurance company wants to offer me $500, but wants me to sign an indemnification clause. It's a page and a quarter, so it's not terribly long, but I'm not sure I should sign it quite yet. I'm assuming indemnification clauses are common practice, and I doubt I will have further expenses in the foreseeable future, except taking time off work to deliver and pick up my vehicle. Is this something I should sign or could I have an attorney look at the documents for free?

Good luck on getting an attorney to look over everything for free. You should pay the attorney. Whether the $500 is fair, depends on how much injury you hav received. You should pay an attorney for his advice to rest comfortably, that you are making the right decision.
