If you have been injured by someone else, never sign a release without first consulting an attorney. Never. A release is a piece of paper that in any way says you forgive someone. Even if you are offered a check, don't sign a release, no matter what your financial situation is.
Even if you are offered a check, a reputable attorney will agree to represent you based on a percentage of what he or she recovers for you in addition to the check you've been offered. Then, the attorney will review the release as part of his or her service to you and give you sound legal advice on how to protect yourself and your future concerning medical costs, etc.
Moral of the story: Never sign a release until you talk to an attorney first.
