makes absolutely no sense to me. Maybe that's something in your state, but here in Florida, that makes no real sense.

It might also be just the adjuster needing to "click a box" that the insured didn't wish to pursue any action against the individual "responsible" for the accident, without considering anything else. Wouldn't be the first time for that.
