How Long Does a Personal Injury Claim Take?
The length of your personal injury compensation claim depends on many different factors.
First, who’s to blame?
If the other party accepts that they are to blame, this greatly speeds up the process. If not, we have to prove that they are and this adds time onto your claim being settled.
A rough guideline is that straightforward traffic accidents are settled between 1-4 months from the claim being taken on with workplace accidents taking 5-12 months.
Secondly, How badly are you injured?
The state of your recovery from the injuries suffered also has an effect on the time that it takes for your personal injury claim to be settled. As a basic rule the more complicated and severe the injury the longer the claim takes. We can provide medical treatment to speed up the process and this will be at no cost to you.
In most cases you will need to see an independent medical expert and this can only be done once your injuries have settled.
Therefore a lot depends on your injury and how quickly you recover after the accident.
Thirdly, Make sure you don’t rush the claim
