How Long Does The Average Personal Injury Case Take To Resolve?
Once you make the decision to file a personal injury claim, one of your first questions may be: “How long is this going to take?” If you are unable to work and facing a growing pile of medical bills, the idea of a long wait is understandably concerning.
Every personal injury case has unique facts. There is no average timeframe for a settlement. The length of your case can vary considerably based on a number of factors, including the severity of your injuries, the extent of the losses you have suffered, and any factual issues with the case. A minor car accident claim could be resolved in a matter of weeks, while a more complicated injury case could take more than a year to resolve if litigation is required.
You might wonder if it’s worth it to pursue a quick settlement, even if you have to accept a lower payout. However, you should understand that agreeing to a quick settlement could leave you saddled with medical debt if you are still receiving treatment for your injuries. Insurance companies sometimes make quick settlement offers to limit their liability and close a case before the true costs are known.
The important thing to consider with any settlement offer is how much you’re giving up if you accept it. How do you determine what a reasonable settlement should be in your case?
At Sam & Ash Injury Law, our practice is focused exclusively on personal injury cases. We carefully calculate your expenses and losses and then apply our considerable experience to help you understand the value of your case and what is reasonable to expect. We will fight aggressively for a fair settlement and, if necessary, take your case to court to seek the full amount you deserve.
