Car accident victims often ask how long will it take to resolve their case. Our answer is that it takes as long as it takes for them to get better. Personal injury victims often want to put the past behind them as quickly as possible, but we never advise them to settle prematurely. We always wait until the true nature and extent of their injuries are known before demanding compensation from an insurance carrier. This makes sure that they will have the resources needed to provide for the full amount of care ultimately required.
Once a claim is settled a victim cannot return for more if the injury acts up or recurs. To settle too soon means the client's one bite at the apple has taken place and no more compensation can be obtained. Therefore, our approach is to wait until the total claim can be determined before we engage in settlement conferences or discussions. However, if the client is in a hurry, it is their call concerning timing.
