The release is enforceable because Jolene accepted the offer from Kilroy's insurance company. When someone accepts a settlement offer, they are typically providing a release of liability in exchange for the agreed upon compensation. Jolene cannot now try to recover additional damages after accepting the settlement offer unless she can prove a valid legal reason for doing so, such as fraud or a mistake in understanding the extent of her injuries at the time she accepted the offer.
