Here is a question that Chicago injury lawyers are often asked: How long will it take to settle my case? Unfortunately there is no definite answer and every case is different. Some factors that can effect the length of a claim are: 1. Liability. Is the defendant admitting fault, or are they pointing their finger back at you? Contested liability will almost always slow a case down. 2. The severity of injuries and length of treatment. If you have serious injuries and you are in treatment for an extended period of time, that will take more time. 3. The insurance carrier. Some insurance companies are better than others, some are quicker than others when evaluating a claim, and some insurance adjusters are slower than other adjusters at their own company. 4. Court. Once an offer is made, the client will either decide to settle the case or go to court to fight for more money. If a plaintiff decides to litigate, that can take significantly more time. But going to court is sometimes necessary to obtain a fair outcome. daveabels/how-long-will-it-take-to-settle-my-case.html #personalinjurysettlement #howlongwillittaketosettlemycase #Chicagopersonalinjurylawyer #Caraccidentatttorney
