If you have been injured in a traffic accident in River Oaks, Texas you have two years in which to pursue a claim for compensation for medical bills related to your injury, loss of income due to time you were forced to be off work as well as damages for the very real pain and suffering you have been forced to endure. Make no mistake: being seriously injured in an auto accident can have a long-lasting effect on your life for many years to come. It's no surprise then that most people want to put the whole experience behind them, thinking that will allow them to forget about it once and for all so that they can move on with their lives.
Firstly, if you hire an experienced personal injury attorney, you won't have to face dealing with the insurance company to settle the compensation for your claims. Your lawyer will do that for you. Having your own legal team to handle the insurance adjustor on your behalf can eliminate an enormous part of the frustration of post-wreck life. It allows you to focus your energy on getting better. Nevertheless, many people want that sense of closure so that they are able to "move on" with their lives. That's perfectly understandable, but in almost every case it is a huge mistake to move on too soon.
When will my case settle?
The truth is that every person, every case is different. There is no normal time frame, no schedule for you to expect your claim to be completed within. The rule of thumb I give my clients is that you should never settle your claim until either your life has returned to normal (you are back at work full time, doing the same everyday activities you were doing before the wreck) or your doctor has made it clear that the effects of being in a traffic collision are going to be with you for the rest of your life. Until you reach that point, it is impossible to know the real impact your injuries will have on your future life. If you don't know that, then you don't know what the true value of your case is. Settling any sooner would be a big mistake as you could be forfeiting some of the damages to which you are legally entitled.
