So, you’ve been hurt or injured in an accident.
You retain a personal injury lawyer (hopefully Brian Goldfinger or one of our team members at Goldfinger Injury Lawyers).
The case is running smoothly.
How and when will my personal injury case settle?
These are great questions! Let’s start by answering the easier question first.
When will my personal injury case settle?
The straight forward answer is that personal injury cases take time. There is little rhyme or reason as to when a case will settle. We tell all of our clients that the time which a case will settle varies, and is unpredictable. A personal injury lawyer cannot snap his/her fingers and command that a case settle for a certain amount of dollars. That’s just now how personal injury cases work. The only thing we know for sure is that cases take time to settle, so don’t expect anything to happen quickly; although sometimes things do happen quickly! You never know. And that’s the scary thing, but that’s also the exciting thing. You never know when you get a pleasant call from your personal injury lawyer presenting you with an offer. The next thing you know, you’re deep into negotiations and a deal gets done. Case closed.
