What agreement is used to prevent a claimant from disputing a claim after it has been signed?

The appropriate agreement used to prevent a claimant from disputing a claim after it has been signed is a non-waiver agreement. This type of agreement is designed to protect the interests of the insurer by clarifying that the claimant acknowledges the terms of the claim and agrees not to challenge the settlement or the insurance company's decision regarding the claim in the future.

Non-waiver agreements help to establish that the claimant fully understands the implications of signing the document, thereby ensuring that they will not later assert claims or disputes that could undermine the finality of the agreement. By obtaining this signature, the insurer reduces the risk of future litigation related to the settled claim, as the claimant has effectively waived their right to contest it.

Other types of agreements, such as release of claim, settlement agreement, and claim adjustment agreement, serve different purposes. A release of claim typically refers to a document that releases the insurer from further liability once the claimant accepts a settlement. A settlement agreement outlines the terms of the settlement but doesn’t specifically address the claimant's potential to dispute it afterward. A claim adjustment agreement often deals with the adjustment process and the specifics of how the claim is managed rather than preventing disputes after signing.
