Most cases settle in 6 to 18 months. Here is what affects the timeline.
The biggest factor is your medical treatment. We usually wait until you finish treatment, or your doctor knows your long-term needs, before we demand a settlement. Settling too early can leave you paying for future care.
Next is the insurance company. Some respond in weeks; others drag their feet until a lawsuit is filed. If a lawsuit is needed, discovery and depositions add months.
We keep you updated at every step, so you always know what is happening and why.
