How long does a personal injury settlement take?
Today, Shane Smith joined Eugene Robinson on Charlotte Today to discuss this topic and share general guidance on what people should know after a car accident.
One of the most common questions we hear is:
“If I hire a lawyer, how long will my settlement take?”
The answer depends on two main things.
First, it depends on how long it takes for you to finish medical treatment and recover.
We do not try to settle your case until your doctors have finished treating you or have determined that you are as healed as you are going to be. That is the only way to understand the full value of your injuries.
Second, it depends on how the insurance company responds once your treatment is complete.
After you finish care, our team moves quickly to prepare and submit your claim. In some cases, the insurance company responds promptly. In others, they delay or dispute parts of the claim, which can extend the process.
Our goal is always the same:
to resolve your case as efficiently as possible once your medical care is complete.
