But there are CERTAIN TIMES in an injury case where it is MORE LIKEY to get a good offer. When can YOU expect a money offer? Watch the video and find out! So check it out!

A common misconception is that individuals with injury cases are money-hungry; most are reasonable and just want fair treatment from insurance companies. Insurance companies often delay settlement by delaying medical treatment, knowing that prolonged treatment strengthens the case. Cases typically settle when maximum medical improvement (MMI) is reached, indicating the final medical outcome. Hot times to settle include after treatment plateaus, after filing a lawsuit, after the plaintiff's deposition, and when a trial date is set. It's impossible to force a settlement, but persistent negotiation and strategic timing increase the chances of a favorable outcome.

Contrary to popular belief, most people who call for legal assistance do not want to have to hire a lawyer. They are often treated poorly by insurance companies, who delay medical treatment to weaken the case. DeSalvo explains the importance of reaching maximum medical improvement (MMI) or when treatment plateaus before attempting to settle the case. He also advises against accepting the initial low settlement offer and encourages viewers to consult with a lawyer first.
