Minneapolis personal injury attorney, Michael Bryant, discusses latent injuries in car accidents. He notes that, in most cases, once a case is settled, it is truly settled. He has seen situations where clients handled their cases on their own—or had a friend or family member do so—and ended up settling without fully understanding all their damages. This is part of why his firm typically waits eight months to a year before settling: to ensure all damages are accounted for. He emphasizes that clients should ask their doctors important questions before agreeing to a quick settlement that could eliminate their claim.
