You will be unable to sue them.

Re: Signing a Realese of Claims Document

IF you sign a release of claim you are most likely signing away any and all rights you may have to sue the company. You state that you signed a "rough document" and I am curious what that was. My suggestion is that you immediately speak with an attorney regarding your rights and what further action you should take. I would be happy to discuss this further with you, as I have a lot of experience handling these types of cases and I can let you know what your options are. The consultation is free.

Re: Signing a Realese of Claims Document

I am curious as to why it would make any difference whether you had health insurance or not. It doesn't change their liability, and while it could potentially affect damages it would only do so up to the level of reimbursable medical expenses, which probably were not too significant. The potential significance depends on whether it was sworn statement or not, but the practical difference is probably negligible.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
