Disclaimer

We are not a law firm

Settlement Scout is a content and information site. Nothing on this site is legal advice. Using this site, submitting the claim-check quiz, or being connected with a law firm through Settlement Scout does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship with Settlement Scout, OPTIMAX AI LTD, or any law firm or legal marketing company we work with. A firm you're connected with becomes your attorney only if that firm separately agrees to represent you, typically through its own signed retainer agreement, and on terms it sets, not Settlement Scout. Only a licensed attorney, after reviewing the specifics of your situation, can tell you how the law applies to your case.

We are not a lawyer-referral service

In some states, "lawyer referral service" is a defined, regulated term (for example California's certified LRS program under Bus. & Prof. Code §6155, or Florida's "qualifying provider" rules under Bar Rule 4-7.22). Settlement Scout does not represent itself as a certified or regulated lawyer-referral service in any state. Where we connect a visitor who opts in with a law firm or legal marketing company, we are acting as a marketing and advertising service, not as a referral service in that regulated sense. If you're not sure how your state treats a service like this, that's a question for a licensed attorney in your state, not for us.

California's certified lawyer referral service program verified against Business and Professions Code §6155 via leginfo.legislature.ca.gov, checked 26 September 2026. Florida's qualifying-provider citation (Bar Rule 4-7.22) has not been re-verified against The Florida Bar's current rule text as of our last review (26 September 2026). Treat it as unconfirmed until checked directly.

This site, and any connection it may lead to, is advertising, not legal advice

This site and the connections it may lead to are marketing, and are not a substitute for consulting a licensed attorney. Any page, tool, or communication from Settlement Scout should be read as general information and advertising, not as a legal opinion about your situation.

We are not a government agency

Settlement Scout is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any police department, court, department of motor vehicles, or other government body. Where we describe how to get an official document, like a crash report, we are describing a public process and linking you to the actual government or authorized portal that issues it. We do not issue, alter, or control that document ourselves.

Estimates are not valuations

Any dollar figure on this site, including the settlement calculator, is a general, illustrative range built from public data. It is not an appraisal of your specific claim, does not account for the facts of your case, and is not a promise, prediction, or guarantee of what you would recover. No outcome is guaranteed by using this site or connecting with any firm through it.

Consent and contact

Settlement Scout's content pages do not themselves collect a phone number or run a consent-based contact form. Where a claim-check tool is offered on this site, it is currently hosted on our partner claim-intake platform (check.settlementscout.org in this version of the site), and any consent to be contacted, including the prior express consent the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) requires for autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts, is collected there, in that form's own language, at the time you submit it.

TCPA prior-express-consent requirement (47 U.S.C. §227) verified via Cornell Law School's Legal Information Institute, checked 26 September 2026.
