How long should I wait for a response to my demand letter regarding a car accident?

I was in an accident a few months ago and have recently submitted my demand letter to the adjuster. I understand that I need to be patient. But while I don’t want to seem desperate, I also don’t want to appear to be a push over and have my case be set aside. There has been an email acknowledging receipt of my demand letter, asking to speak with me. I called but got voice mail and left a message. I suppose they may be evaluating my case now. So what would be a feasible waiting period before I try to contact the insurance adjuster again?
