What Happens After you Complete Your Medical Treatment after a Las Vegas, Nevada Accident?


When you are injured a car accident and seek medical treatment, at some point, you will be released from active care. After clients have completed their active medical treatment, clients wonder what is the next step in their case. The first thing you should do is call or email your car accident attorney and let them know that you are done treating. Your attorney will then be able to contact your treatment providers and request your completed and updated medical records. 

Once your final medical records are requested from your treatment providers, it usually takes 2 to 4 four weeks for your personal injury attorney to actually receive them. Upon receiving your final medical records, your accident attorney will thoroughly review them.  After they have been reviewed, your attorney will prepare what is called a ‘Settlement Demand Package’ and send it to the at fault party’s insurance company. 
 
The Settlement Demand Package outlines the accident, your injuries, your medical treatment and discuss settlement of your case. It generally takes approximately 1 to 2 weeks for your Settlement Demand Package to be prepared and sent to the at-fault party’s insurance company.

Once the insurance company receives the Settlement Demand Package, they usually respond within 3 to 4 weeks. So, from the time you stop treating, to the time the insurance company makes it initial settlement offer can take between 45 to 75 days. Your personal injury attorney will then negotiate with the insurance company and consult with you before any settlement offer is accepted.

Next time, we will discuss what happens when a minor is involved in an accident.

Research also shows that impairment increases significantly when marijuana use is combined with alcohol. Studies have found that many drivers test positive for alcohol and THC, making it clear that drinking and drugged driving are often linked behaviors.” All 50 states and the District of Columbia have laws ...
