The length of time it takes to get a fair settlement can vary widely depending on the unique details of the case. In most injury claims, the at-fault insurance company will offer you a small settlement, usually a fraction of the money you deserve, within a few short weeks. However, this is the insurance company’s attempt to avoid a larger payout. It’s important to consult with a lawyer before denying or accepting this settlement, as accepting it will prevent you from filing a lawsuit.
To get fair compensation for the injuries you suffered, a lawsuit may take several years. This may not be as quick as many injury victims are looking for, but it’s important to remember that these can be very complex lawsuits. To get you fair compensation, a personal injury attorney will need to look at all aspects of your case and will need to clearly demonstrate to a jury the damages you’ve suffered.
