The length of time a personal injury case takes to settle differs on a case-by-case basis. For instance, if you were rear-ended and suffered whiplash and back pain, it might take three months after you have finished medical treatment before settlement talks can begin. However, sometimes the treating doctor is slow in getting the final narrative report completed and sent to the attorneys. This can slow the process. The only thing that is certain is an experienced attorney will not send in a demand for settlement until you are fully treated for your car accident injuries. There are many factors that play into the final settlement, but d’Oliveira & Associates will be with you every step of the way to ensure that you get the best outcome as quickly as possible.
