How long will it take for my case to be completed?
A: In most personal injury cases how long it will take for your case to be completed depends primarily on the type of injury you have suffered. Attempts to settle your case can be made immediately but this is fraught with risk. Early settlements almost always mean a low settlement figure. Until your injury has healed to the point that it is going to heal (what is commonly referred to as reaching Maximum Medical Improvement) it is very difficult for your doctor to provide a prognosis for the injury and opine how it is likely to affect you in the future. This is something that is very frequently overlooked by people who attempt to handle their own claims. So most often the nature of the injury, which dictates to some extent the length of the healing period, is the most significant factor in determining when the appropriate time will be to commence settlement negotiations. Again, you can always attempt to settle early but this almost always means a settlement figure that is much lower than the fair value of your claim.
