Is it true the longer treatment after accident the better case you have in personal injury case?

Well usually if the injuries call for physical therapy etc and they end up going on for months at end that says more in your favour to exactly how you were injured and it only makes sense that if they lasted 8 months they still might end up being on going on and off over the future years.This is why you need a good explained fully outlined report from the doctors and from the clinics etc of all your injuries and a full list of how your body and regular lifestyle including your family/children or future children's lives, also including your future and your retirement years will all be affected.


Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way be careful when trying to do your settlement bec sometimes you're fully entitled to 10 or 100 times more money then they ever will offer you.Remember you're the one that has to deal with the problems of such injuries and it's only fair that you make sure that the settlement is fair to you bec they won't give you a penny more later.

Nope. It just means that you treated longer. You get paid what the insurance company thinks your injury is worth. It has nothing to do with the length of treatment.
If the insurance company thinks you over-treated, your bills won't be paid either.

Say what you want to make yourself feel better, but not everyone is greedy. The other party's negligence doesn't mean you hit the lottery.

No, not true.

The value of your claim has nothing to do with how long you treated. Rather the value is based on the injury itself.

Examples:

Case 1- you are involved in an accident. The other person is at fault. As a result of the accident, you suffer 3 fractured ribs (non-displaced). Your medical bills consist of an ambulance ride and a trip to the ER. Plain film x-rays are taken and show the fractures. Your medical bills are around $2500 total. The only thing you can do for fractured ribs - is give them time to heal. So for 8-12 weeks, every time you breath or move you have a lot of pain.

Case 2- you are involved in an accident. The other person is at fault. You claim a soft tissue injury to your back. You incur $15,000 in medical bills. Of the bills, $10,000 is for CT scans, MRI's and plain film x rays that show nothing is wrong with you. You also do a 4 week course of PT.

Even though Case 2 has the higher medical bills and treated longer - Case 1 is the higher value claim.

MSAD analogy is right on the money.

If the other party had not been negligent, you would not be looking for a settlement period. So they accepted fault and now they owe for your injuries.

The insurance adjuster will look at the medical bills and read all of the medical reports from your doctors to determine the value of your injury. Over the years, have subtracted off medical bills if we believe that someone over-treated or is not related to the accident. If according to your injury you should have treated for 4 months, but continue to rack up bills, you could possibly end up with a settlement that is less than your bills.

But;;;we don't have your file in front of us or your medical reports from your doctors. You will find out the value of your settlement when the adjuster makes an offer.

Don't be spending this money till you find out what they believe your injury is worth.

good luck
