Legal Question in Personal Injury in Idaho

Release and Indemnity Agreement

I was involved in a MVA 8 months ago. The other driver ran a stop light and hit my car. They were given a citation for the accident and admitted fault. There insurance company has accepted totally fault and liability for the accident including medical expenses. My car was totaled and I have already been compensated for that. I have also reached the point where I am satisfied with the offer from the insurance company to settle medical claims and pain and suffering.

When I received the Release and Indemnity Agreement from the Insurance company there were some paragraphs and statements that I was not comfortable with. One of the paragraphs were stated as if I was releasing the driver and the insured from any liability as well as any fault in the accident.

1. What can I do if I am not satisfied with the Indemnity Agreement? How should I approach the legal department of the insurance company to change the verbage in the agreement?

I would post the Indemnity Agreement, but that exceeds the 1250 limit.

Re: Release and Indemnity Agreement

It is standard practice to sign a general release

releasing the offender when settleing a claim so that you cannot start the matter again.
