How long do cases typically take to settle? The answer isn’t an easy one. Maybe it’s unfair to say it depends, but it depends. It depends on the nature of your injuries, the degree in which those injuries have impacted your life, and frankly, it can depend on the type of insurance adjuster that you have on the other side. All those factors play into the length of time it’s going to take for you to get a settlement. If your injuries resolve fully within a year and your doctors are saying, “Look, you’re out of the woods,” that’s a case that should be able to settle within about a year.
If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation where your injuries persist after a year, particularly where those injuries, you know, continue to impact functioning, it’s going to take longer, and that’s because, you know, the value of your claim is larger, and insurance adjusters, trying to keep as much money in their pockets as possible, will fight harder against your claim.
