A common question that's asked me is, "How long will my accident case take?"
You don't want to settle your case until you know the true nature and extent of your injuries, and you can't know that until you're fully healed.
Insurance companies love to offer people money early in the process so that they can potentially settle your case for less than it's worth because you don't know the true nature and extent of your injuries, you haven't finished treating, and you haven't fully healed.
We want to wait until the end of your case, when you're fully healed, when we know the true nature and extent of your injuries.
Then, at that time, and at that time only, will we go to the insurance company, have settlement negotiations, and try to settle your case.
