Is a car accident liability release enough to prevent a later claim from the other driver?
I had an accident, and we exchanged insurance information. I also told the other driver to get a car repair estimate. The estimate came out to be $2,700, and I’m thinking of paying out of pocket. I’m a bit worried that he might file a claim after already receiving the money.

Yes, a properly executed Car Accident Release of Liability Form (Settlement Agreement) can generally protect you from future claims related to the accident.
- By signing it, both parties agree to release the other from any further liability and waive the right to pursue additional claims.
- This agreement becomes legally binding and prevents the other party from making future claims against you.

I’m sorry to hear about your accident.
Have you already discussed with the other party about paying for the repairs out of pocket?
Yes, but I’m a bit worried that he might file a claim after already receiving the money.

I created a Car Accident Release of Liability Form (Settlement Agreement).
I’m not sure if that helps.

I’m so sorry you were involved in an accident.
What is your first question regarding the settlement?
Is having him sign the Car Accident Release of Liability Form (Settlement Agreement) enough to protect myself from him filing a claim afterward?
I’m planning to pay out of pocket.

So, I just have him sign it first and then pay? No further steps needed?

That is correct.
Thank you very much.
