In some cases, insurance companies contact injured parties within days of an accident to enter into such settlements.<\/p>\n<p>The injured party, if they settle the claim without obtaining independent legal advice, may find themselves in a very difficult position afterwards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The advice from Mulroy Personal Injury Solicitors is simple &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Never settle a personal injury claim without obtaining legal advice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We are here to help.
