It depends on the specifics of your case. Serious accidents can take months to be resolved, while simple accidents may be handled within a few weeks. It is important to have a paper trail of all the evidence, receipts, and reports that are relevant to your case. This proof can help speed up the determination of your case. An attorney can help you with compiling and recording this evidence. Without it, your case can take much longer to be resolved, and you may even be denied a claim.
