How long will my personal injury claim to take to settle?

Oftentimes, we get the question, How long is my personal injury case going to take to settle? And we totally understand that is a legitimate question that every client should be asking their attorneys upfront. The answer is we don’t really know and that’s because it depends on a number of factors. So number one, it depends on the liability meaning what can we uncover uh in our investigation. It also depends on the nature or the seriousness of the injuries and what that person is going to need in forms of treatment over time.

Typically, the more serious the injuries, the more treatment, whether that involves surgeries or sadly like inhome life care over a long period of time, the case can take longer because it’s really important to conduct a really thorough and high-end investigation. Hire the best experts, the best economists, the best life care planners. really put everything together because at the end of the day, you really only have one opportunity to settle a case and we want to make sure that we’re getting our clients the maximum compensation. Now, there are other times where cases can be settled much quicker.

That could be because there’s lower insurance policies and that’s also a huge factor is how much insurance is available and how does the insurance limits on the other side relate to the person’s injuries. So, there’s a lot of different factors, but the one thing that we do at Richmond Vona is we pride ourselves on tackling clients cases quickly from the beginning, conducting thorough but fast investigations and having systems, processes, and technology in place to move our clients cases as quickly as possible without sacrificing the ultimate settlement amount that we get them at the end of their case.
