Bicycle Accident Settlement Timeline

Answer:

We like to distinguish our firm from other firms in that we are not in a hurry to try to get a claim resolved quickly. What drives the timeline for resolving a claim is the medical situation of our injured client. We have to have a full and complete understanding of all of their injuries. That’s called the diagnosis. That takes time because it’s actually through medical care and treatment that doctors are able to formulate better defined and longstanding diagnosis of the injuries of their patients.
The doctors are going to be the witnesses who are going to tell us and ultimately a jury what the future is going to hold for our injured client. That means they have to have an opportunity to see the course of healing that the patient has and what that is going to mean for them in the future. That’s what we call the prognosis of the injury.
We don’t want to rush that at all. It’s not that we don’t want to draw out the claim or prosecute it quickly and vigorously, but we’ll never do so at the expense of losing the fundamental understanding of all of the medical losses that a client may have because they need time to get that sorted out through their care treatment of their physicians.
