        "text": "It is highly recommended to consult with an attorney even if a settlement offer has been made. Insurance companies often offer a lower amount initially, which may not fully cover your long-term medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering. An attorney can evaluate the offer's fairness, negotiate on your behalf, and ensure you receive appropriate compensation.",

        "description": "Yes, consult an attorney even with an offer; insurance companies may offer less than your claim is worth, and an attorney can negotiate for fair compensation."
