Question 1

How long does the entire personal injury claim process take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the case. A simple claim might settle in a few months. A complex case that requires a lawsuit and goes through discovery can take a year or more. The most important factor is allowing you enough time to finish your medical treatment so we know the full extent of your damages.

Question 2

Will I have to go to court?

Accepted Answer

Probably not. More than 95% of personal injury cases are settled out of court. Filing a lawsuit is a tool to get you a fair settlement, and most cases settle at mediation long before a trial is necessary.

Question 3

Why does it take so long?

Accepted Answer

The process is long because it is thorough. It takes time to gather all the evidence, for you to complete your medical care, and to negotiate with an unwilling insurance company. Rushing the process almost always results in a smaller, unfair settlement.
