How long will my case take to settle and what compensation will I receive for my injuries???
The answer to this question depends on the complexity of the case. In other words, the last thing personal injury attorneys want to do is resolve a personal injury case while the client is still healing or does not have a good understanding on what their future medical condition and expenses or losses will be. With that being said, typically the average automobile accident claim is resolved by your lawyer within 6 to 12 months after an accident. Once your treating physician places you at MMI (Maximum Medical Improvement), which is usually 4 to 6 months after the injuries occur, we then prepare and send out a demand letter for settlement, subject to your approval, to the insurance company, and negotiate the highest possible settlement or compensation you are entitled to. Naturally, the estimate of time is subject to fluctuation depending on the facts of the case.
