These attempts to mislead the public are an indication of what’s to come. ITC is in damage control mode as we speak. Toxicologists have come out stating they believe the public is being misled.\n\nThe bottom line is that ITC is not here to help you. They are here to make sure they pay you the least amount possible. They are out for the best interest of themselves—not you or everyone else who has been injured as a result of their actions. \n\nITC is also asking everyone who has been injured or suffered losses stemming from the Deer Park fire to sign a Claim form and participate in its recently-announced compensation program. \n\nUnsurprisingly, on page 5, under section 4, it specifically states “NO PAYMENT WILL BE MADE BY OR ON BEHALF OF ITC WITHOUT THE CLAIMANT EXECUTING A RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST ITC AND ITS UNDERWRITERS”\n”},{“component”:”hc_image_box”,”id”:”5ZtkF”,”css_classes”:””,”custom_css_classes”:””,”custom_css_styles”:””,”image”:”https://www.puschnguyen.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ITC-Deer-Park-Fire-Claims-Form-Page-4-1024×499.png|848|1740|1340″,”link_type”:”classic”,”lightbox_animation”:””,”caption”:””,”inner_caption”:false,”new_window”:false,”link”:””,”link_content”:[],”lightbox_size”:””,”scrollbox”:false,”icon”:””,”style”:””,”icon_position”:””,”image_animation”:””,”icon_animation”:””,”thumb_size”:”full”,”icon_hidden”:false,”img_box_inner_caption”:false,”caption_img_box”:””,”alt”:””},{“component”:”hc_space”,”id”:”t189y”,”css_classes”:””,”custom_css_classes”:””,”custom_css_styles”:””,”size”:”l”,”height”:””},{“component”:”hc_text_block”,”id”:”hcO4x”,”css_classes”:””,”custom_css_classes”:””,”custom_css_styles”:”co.lor: #444444; font-size: 18px;”,”content”:”This means, if ITC agrees to pay you for your medical bills incurred thus far OR offer to give you $1000.00, you would be waiving your rights to sue ITC later if serious injuries are discovered.

Filing a claim for and signing a release from ITC will bar you from ever bringing another claim for the accident in which you were injured. The settlement and release will contain language that will prevent you from receiving any further compensation in the future even if you later discover you have additional injuries. The language will further state that, by signing the document, you waive all rights to file another legal claim against the at-fault party in relation to this incident. You are agreeing that the money you receive satisfies the respective claim and any other claims you might want to bring at a later time. Simply put, there are no second chances after signing a release. This means the case is over and you cannot come back later and make additional or even different claims arising out of the same incident.\n\nThis can be very troubling for a lot of reasons. Most people injured from the ITC Deer Park Fire do not have the experience to negotiate with ITC or their attorneys. Besides, they have all the power—they control the money and how much you get compensated if you do not have an attorney representing you. Bottom line is, ITC’s offer may seem generous at first, but in the grand scheme of it all, they are significantly low-balling you if you are not represented by an attorney. In cases without an attorney, ITC will not come close to fully compensating you for your injuries if you are not represented by an attorney. An experienced attorney will guide you through this process. \n\nHere are more reasons why you should never sign a settlement and release without an attorney:\n”},{“component”:”hc_text_list”,”id”:”6V0gQ”,”css_classes”:””,”custom_css_classes”:””,”custom_css_styles”:”co.lor: #444444; font-size: 18px; padding: 15px;”,”rows”:[{“component”:”repeater_item”,”id”:”80sYM”,”image_link”:””,”title”:”You may not be finished treating”,”subtitle”:”The ultimate goal for you as an injured person is to get better emotionally, physically, and financially.
