How long a personal injury settlement takes really depends on you. Why? Because at Bressman Law, we do not want you to leave any money on the table when you settle. If you settle before you are fully recovered, you will not be fully compensated for your injuries.
We recommend discussing your case with a Columbus car accident attorney before you accept a settlement offer from the insurance company. It can be difficult to calculate the total expenses and losses you experienced because of a car accident, especially if you suffered serious injuries and endured pain and suffering.
If you or a loved one was the victim of a car accident in central Ohio, Bressman Law can help. Call our office today at 614-538-1116 for a free case evaluation and consultation with a member of our team.
You Could Be Leaving Money on the Table If You Settle Too Soon It is rarely a good idea to accept the insurance company’s first offer and never a good idea to agree to a settlement until you obtain a comprehensive picture of your total losses. In other words, you need to know how much the accident cost you financially, physically, and emotionally.
The insurance company may offer you a settlement within a few days of the crash. This is tempting because it gives you cash to pay bills, rent a car, and take care of other expenses.
Unfortunately, this money often runs out before the expenses do. The first settlement offer may not be sufficient to cover your medical expenses and lost wages, let alone compensate you for your pain and suffering.
