Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida
I have been sent a release to sign off for such and such amount for a personal injury. I want to ask a small amount more than is on the release. Is it okay to send back their release with my figure replacing theirs and sign the release? I would alert the adjustor that I was sending the release with my amended figure. Thank you

That would be a counteroffer and technically it would be up to the insurance company to agree or not. If they don't agree, youe entire case may be delayed for months. Why don't you accept the higher amount? If you think it is to much, there are several charities around that would be grateful for your gift...
Good luck,

I understand you want to ask for more money. I would first recommend that you see a lawyer who handles personal injury cases to see if you are getting ripped off. If not, then just call the adjuster to tell him/her you need more to settle.
