How long does it take to get a settlement from my injury?

That depends on you. The insurance company will likely offer you a low settlement quickly to try to pressure you to sign away your rights. Keep in mind that if you are coping with a serious injury, there is no way to know immediately what your future costs may be and how your life will be affected. Ideally, you should wait until your doctor decides you have reached maximum medical improvement so you can more accurately assess your situation.

As your attorney builds a case for full compensation, the insurance company may also try to drag out negotiations with the hopes that you will get tired of waiting and will accept less than what you deserve. Patience is key when it comes to pursuing just compensation for what you’ve been through.

Remember, you are in control of this process and can decide to reject or accept an offer at any time. Our attorneys are here to ensure you understand your legal rights and are negotiating from a position of strength.
