Key Takeaways:
- Most personal injury claims require minimal involvement from you, allowing you to focus on recovery while your attorneys manage the entire legal process.
- Settling too early can limit compensation, which is why personal injury cases are typically resolved only after someone is formally released from receiving medical care.
- Waiting until treatment is complete ensures the full extent of your injuries, medical expenses, and recovery timeline stays properly documented.
- Experienced personal injury attorneys use this complete record to present a strong personal injury claim, helping them pursue the maximum possible compensation.
Your personal injury claim will not require a lot of your time unless it goes to a jury trial. Your problems will become our problems, and we will work hard every day to help solve them. Dayson Shalabi Burkett Law Firm, LLC, (DSB Law Firm) wants you to focus on recovering from your injuries.
Why Waiting to Settle Is So Important
You only get one chance to resolve your case. Therefore, we will rarely, if ever, attempt to settle your case before your doctor releases you.
This allows the insurance company and possibly a jury to see the true extent of your injuries, the total amount of your medical bills, and the amount of time it took for you to get better while under a doctor’s care.
Waiting until you are done treating with the doctor allows attorneys Curtis Dayson, Ramie Shalabi and Michael Burkett to paint a true picture of your injuries to maximize the compensation you deserve.
