How soon should I settle my insurance claim?

In this video, Sevenish Law answers the question: How soon should I settle my insurance claim? Every claim is different, but you should avoid settling your claim until you understand your injuries completely and have been completely released from treatment. For example, if you may need surgery, it is normally the best policy to wait until your surgery and after your doctor has released you when you are at MMI (Maximum Medical Improvement). If you settle too soon and end up with medical bills not covered by your settlement, you will not be able to make another claim later. A doctor really needs to give you your final prognosis so the true value of your claim can be better identified and quantified. An injury lawyer deals with these situations on a daily basis and will be able to guide you.
