You may or you may not. It would basically depend on the insurance company if they would be willing to consider it. But one thing is for sure, it would be a bit difficult, after all, insurance companies also need to earn a profit so you may have a hard time. But to get through the situation, it would greatly help if you have a personal injury lawyer from theledgerlawfirm.com who would deal with the insurance company and work for your best interest. It is wise to have a lawyer to avoid getting fooled and not to end up on the losing side.
At some point, accepting the check and cashing it out means that you have accepted their offer. Should you need to collect more claim to cover for your other losses such as income, pain and suffering, you may be able to contact the insurance company to determine should there be any further claims. I have read from accidents-happen.com with regard to this situation. You can also seek for expert's advice from their page.
