Personal Injury Settlement Timeline

Answer:

If you’re here, chances are you were in a serious personal injury accident in the state of New York. You’re possibly wondering how long it will take for your claim to be resolved. There’s no easy answer. It depends on a number of factors, such as the extent of your injury. Is it a permanent injury? Is it a lasting injury? You may have to wait until you see how your injury heals. Sometimes injuries take more than a year or two to heal. There’s also the issue of who you are going against. Who is the defendant? Who is the insurance carrier? Is it a case that needs to be litigated? Do you need to file a lawsuit? If a case needs to be litigated to get the most possible for you, then expect that it will take some time. It’s not unheard of for a case to take three, four, or even five years or more to litigate to conclusion, but that’s sometimes what it takes to get the most compensation for your injury.
