Yes and no.  You can go ahead and try to settle the property damage claim.  But, you should wait until you are through treating to try to settle your personal injury claim.

Remember that you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit for a car accident.  Your first priority should be to get the proper medical treatment you need.

Most people don’t realize that your car accident claim is two distinct claims.  So, it’s okay to settle the property damage claim and to wait to sign anything for your personal injury claim.
