Factors That Determine How Long Your Settlement Will Take

There are numerous factors that may impact how long your settlement will take. Some of those factors include:

• How complicated it is to determine causation and liability. Our attorneys know how to investigate an accident to determine all possible causes and potentially liable parties. However, some investigations take longer than others. In some cases, proving the cause of your accident may require consulting with experts such as accident reconstructionists. In other cases, discovering and collecting the necessary evidence to prove negligence may take longer. The sooner you consult with us, the sooner we can begin working on building your strongest case. 
• How long your recovery takes. If you have significant injuries, your recovery may take longer. In most cases, settlement of your claim requires reaching maximum medical improvement to determine medical expenses and what your level of disability may be. Our attorneys often work with medical and economic experts to estimate the costs of future medical expenses and the loss of future income.
• Whether the insurance company tries to drag out your case. Insurance companies often try to take advantage of vulnerable injury victims. They know that you need money quickly and will sometimes try to drag out your claim in hopes that you will settle for a lowball offer because you need money. That is one of the main reasons you need an experienced car accident injury attorney representing you. Our lawyers know how to deal with the tactics insurance companies use and hold them accountable for paying the full value of your damages. For additional guidance, visit the NAIC guide to auto insurance.
• Whether your case goes to trial. If your case requires a trial, it will take much longer than if we settle your claim.  However, our attorneys settle the vast majority of our car accident cases without going to trial.

The lawyers at Chris Corzo Injury Attorneys are excellent negotiators who have recovered billions of dollars for our clients. We can help you get a fair settlement as quickly as possible. 

How Will a Lawyer Help Settle My Claim Faster?

An experienced car accident injury lawyer is usually an experienced negotiator who can reach a fair settlement of your claim sooner than you can alone.

Insurance companies often use sneaky tactics to take advantage of a vulnerable injury victim. However, a car accident injury lawyer should be able to combat those tactics and hold them accountable for paying the full value of your claim.

Dealing with insurance companies can be stressful. You deserve to focus on your recovery and allow an experienced attorney to negotiate your claim and recover compensation for you as quickly as possible.
