Many accident victims are reluctant to hire personal injury attorneys, figuring that they could easily settle their case themselves and avoid paying attorneys\u2019 fees. Most personal injury attorneys<\/a> try to settle cases out of court, which can save the victims time and money. Lawsuits can take years and can cost the accident victim more money than the eventual settlement or recovery. In addition, settling a case removes the risk for both parties.<\/p>\n

Finish Medical Treatment<\/h2>\n

However, a lot of work goes into a settling a case, which a personal injury victim may not appreciate. First, the personal injury attorney must wait until the client has finished medical treatment. The client must be diligent in attending appointments and following all of the doctors\u2019 instructions. The patient shouldn\u2019t downplay his or her injuries to the physician.<\/p>\n

Settlement Negotiations<\/h2>\n

Once the doctor has determined that the patient has reached a certain point of treatment, the attorney can begin settlement negotiations, which may take months. The attorney will also do an investigation into the circumstances of the accident. This could include gathering surveillance videos and police reports, investigating the other driver, determining which parties could potentially be held responsible, and more.<\/p>\n
