Can An Old Settled Car Accident Case Be Reopened? Can one file a lawsuit for an old collision case? Well, that depends on the case and certain technical issues associated with it for example how defendants were settled with and also the stipulations of the settlement. Still, one cannot reopen an old personal claim that has been resolved. Typically, the insurance agencies will need releases that settle all claims. It is best to speak to a reputable New Orleans Louisiana Attorney to be positive regarding your situation and position in your case. There may be a few exclusions in most cases, but those cases are uncommon.

Once you have agreed to the settlement It is difficult to reopen the lawsuit that you have agreed to and compensated with. It isn't possible to sue that defendant if an agreement is made with that respondent. One is nearly tied to the settlement, if they have agreed in writing to a settlement through an official and informal agreement. The only way to reopen the case is if you don't agree with the stipulations of the settlement or with the insurer or the defense attorney. Occasionally, the contesting parties may have an argument on the stipulations of the release. But, the methods vary dependent on the condition of each case. Speak to a professional Gertler Law Firm and choose a lawyer, particularly if you prefer to settle an auto accident claim before suit.

The defense attorney can dispute on the terms and conditions of the release and come up with a release which can be agreed to. In the case of no agreement, the dispute is sent to the judge. Depending on the case and its circumstances, the judge can order the release as written or transform it.

Once you have resolved with the claim, you will not be able to back out, and the case has concluded and completed. You won't be too satisfied with the agreement and possibly attained less than the sum you were in need of. However, when you have arranged in writing to a settlement, you are greatly trapped with the agreement. In rare cases, the case can reopen the case if it thinks that the settlement was agreed upon by fraud or a mutual error was done.
