But sometimes those early settlements are merely the insurance company's attempt to prevent an injured person from suing after the full extent of the injuries becomes clear. Knowing this, many people who have been seriously injured in a car accident seek the help of a legal professional who can help ensure that the awarded compensation doesn't run out while the injured person is still suffering.
