Questions Regarding The Duration
Of Settling A Claim
How long does it take to settle a car accident claim after you've experienced a crash involving another vehicle? Here are questions that will determine just how long your settlement claim would take.
- What if the accident is the other person's fault? If the vehicular accident that you were involved in is ruled clearly the other person's fault and the other person does not challenge the ruling, then you will find that generally the case can be settled in a matter of a few weeks. In cases where the other party challenges the ruling and secures a lawyer to fight for his or her case, you could end up dealing with the claim for several months or a year or two.
- Will the insurance company process a claim quickly? Yes and no, depending on their competence, quality of service and attitude. Professional attitude has a lot to do with how quickly a libel insurance company will process your claim. In cases of dealing with a reputable company, you can easily settle a claim in a few weeks or possibly 2-3 months, depending on how large the accident claim is.
- Can a lawyer expedite a car accident claim? Generally yes, if you choose an experienced attorney who has dealt successfully with similar cases. Resist the temptation to hire just anyone. Those who specialize in vehicle accident claims and have very successful track records are the best to hire.
