Re: settling an accident without insurance

If you can get a full release, meaning she won't sue you for personal injury or anything else after the fact, you're better off paying her what she wants -- you just want to make sure that she signs away all rights to pursue a case against you after you pay her what she is asking -- don't just write a check without getting her to sign away her rights.
