What Happens If Settlement Check Is Accepted and Cashed

Typically, accepting the settlement offer will bar one from pursing legal action against the same entity for the same issue. One can deny a settlement offer to allow for future lawsuits. Rejecting an offer does not automatically close one's case, rather it keeps one's legal options open (e.g. different settlement, negotiations, litigation). Accepting a settlement and cashing the check typically involves signing a release that gives up the right to bring future claims related to the incident.
