Just like people and injuries, cases come in all shapes and sizes.\u00a0 Some cases are large and have substantial injuries, and some cases are smaller with fewer injuries.\u00a0 Some cases are filed simply to make sure that medical is paid off, and other cases are for pain and suffering when another party is at fault.\u00a0 Very often, in cases big and small, a question comes to us that is something like \u201cCan\u2019t we just settle our case now?\u00a0 The short answer is \u201cmaybe.\u201d Unfortunately, the longer answer is that is just isn\u2019t all that simple.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sometimes, it is simply better to have your money now, right? But what if you continue to treat for their injuries for a long time after an accident?\u00a0 Longer lasting injuries will continue to rack up bills that need to be paid.\u00a0 If injuries are severe enough, and if you are not at fault in an accident, you may also have a 3rd party or bodily injury claim.\u00a0 When such a claim arises, value often comes to those who wait.\u00a0 No-one wants injections, surgeries, and other costly medical procedures, but if they are necessary for the person\u2019s care, recovery, and rehabilitation they will be evidence of the severity of the injuries.\u00a0 In other words, all that injury may come with a silver lining, more treatment is more proof of the injury in your case.\u00a0 Moreover, may not want to waive a benefit you might need later, like future medical treatment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In short, getting a good value for a case may require patience.\u00a0 It\u2019s possible some cases can be resolved for a smaller amount early on, but until you have received the full diagnosis for each part of you that is injured, early settlement may be difficult because you just won\u2019t know the full extent of the injury. If you don\u2019t know the full extent of the injury, not even your attorney can know the full value of the case.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, the best answer is this that whenever you are thinking about settlement for a case, talk to your attorney about all the pros and cons of acting now, or waiting just a little bit longer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n
