What is "maximum medical improvement" and why does it affect my Virginia personal injury case?

 

A: Maximum medical improvement (MMI) is the pint in your medical treatment when you doctor determines that there is nothing further they can do to imporove your condition and that it is likley a permanent condition.  The treating physician may recommend that you begin treating with a pain management doctor to help manage the chronic condition.

MMI is important in your Virginia personal injury case because most times you will want to wait to resolve your case until your injuries have resolved or until you have reached MMI.
