If you have a lawyer, your best bet is to make sure he or she is doing everything to keep the case moving. Has the attorney requested all records necessary to present a proper demand to the insurance company, or is the attorney sitting on your case? The quick answer is that there is a process you must go through to resolve a personal injury matter. If you are still treating, I would not encourage you to attempt any negotiation because you don't know the full medical picture. You would typically wait until you are at a medical end result.

My best suggestion is that you contact an experience personal injury attorney in your area and express your concerns about resolving the matter quickly.
