The length of time that it takes to settle a motorcycle accident injury lawsuit depends on many different factors. First, it depends on how soon you contact an experienced attorney after your accident, and they can begin their investigation. Every state has a statute of limitations for motorcycle accident claims, but it is encouraged to call as soon as possible while evidence is still fresh and accessible. Second, the seriousness of the accident and the extent of the injuries can cause the length of time to increase. Often, insurance companies will want the injured persons to finish treatment and recover so that the medical expenses are all accounted for before they settle. Finally, it depends on the size of the settlement and how backed up the courts are at the time. If you are willing to accept a smaller settlement, then your case can usually be resolved in a few weeks or months. If you are going after a larger settlement, it may take longer and could end up going to trial, resulting in an even longer legal process.
