Your case begins with investigation and medical treatment. Attorneys often wait until you reach maximum medical improvement before valuing the claim, so the full extent of your injuries is known.
Investigation and Treatment
Demand and Negotiation
Once damages are clear, your attorney sends a demand and negotiates with the insurer. Many cases resolve here within a few months.
Litigation If Needed
If the insurer refuses fair value, filing suit may be necessary. Litigation can add months, but it often unlocks better offers — and you retain the right to a jury trial.
