How Long Will a Brain Injury Claim Take to Settle?

Answer:

People often ask, “How long will it take my brain trauma case to resolve?” The answer involves many factors. First and foremost, it depends on whether or not the insurance company is going to accept fault. Once liability is determined, it is then a matter of whether or not they will fairly assess damages. Unfortunately, that’s often not the case. Insurance companies often force us to litigate the case and go to court or sometimes trial. When the insurance carrier is not dealing with us in a way we think is fair, it prolongs the case in terms of litigation, discovery, depositions, hearings, mediation, and arbitration. There are many ways that we can push these things through to resolution; if an insurance carrier is not dealing fairly, however, it will prolong how long the case takes to resolve.
