What"s the Exact Duration To Get A Settlement From A Car Accident?
With all the traffic in the world and around us daily, it would be a miracle if one day in the world became accident free.
It is just not possible.
People go on their way, rushing as fast as they can, motorcycles and bicycles weave through traffic, cars going too fast and too furious, no wonder accidents happen.
Someone decides to talk on their mobile, no hands free and crosses the pedestrian cross just as you step off the sidewalk, and crashes into you.
Instead of apologizing, they start hurling verbal abuses at you for not being more careful.
Not only are you in pain, you get humiliated as well.
People nowadays are just too busy to stop and look.
The only time they stop and stare is when an accident happens, and they start gawking.
Even though you were in the in right to cross at the pedestrian crossing when the right was green, this person who hit you will not accept the blame.
Then what? You have to make sure that you remember when and where the accident takes place as your lawyer will have to prove that the driver's negligence caused the accident.
If there are witnesses, get their contact details, people want to do the right thing, so they will help you.
Even if you are not injured, it is always a good idea to see a doctor so that the accident can be documented.
If you are injured, then seeing a doctor is the best thing to do.
Your injuries will be documented and the extent of the damage will be used to determine your claim.
When you need to incur all these expenses, you will be filing for a claim so that you can be compensated, but how long will the process take? That is entirely up to you.
It can take as quickly as 2 weeks if you decide to settle out of court on your own, by accepting the first offer that comes your way.
It could take a few weeks more if you hire an expert personal injury attorney to negotiate for you.
If you settle out of court maybe you can get your money in 4 weeks.
But, if no agreeable amount can be reached and you have to go to court, it will and can take up to a few years.
Your idea is to get everything settled as soon as possible, the other insurance company also wants the same thing but they want you to only receive a fraction of what you are entitled to.
The less they have to pay, the better.
How you pay your bills and do other stuff is none of their concern.
That is why is neither of you can reach an agreement and you have to go to court, the process will take years to settle.
By settling out of court, you get your money in as fast as 2 weeks but at an amount lower than what you expected or wanted.
But, if you go to court, you could get more than what you wanted, a few years later.
The downside of going to court is it takes longer time and if you lose, you would have to pay the other party's attorney fees too.
