Defining MMI

Maximum medical improvement is the point at which your condition has stabilized and doctors can reliably predict your future medical needs and limitations.

Why It Affects Timing

Settling before MMI risks underestimating future costs. Reaching MMI allows your claim to be valued fully and fairly.

Balancing Speed and Value

There's a tension between resolving a case quickly and waiting for a complete medical picture. Your attorney helps strike the right balance.
