The amount of time you can expect to pass before receiving your settlement depends on the nature and severity of your car accident. Every accident is different, and a thorough review of what happened will be needed to determine who is responsible for what and how much compensation you qualify for. This can be an especially complicated process in the case of car accidents because one hundred percent of the fault rarely falls on one person, and accurately determining responsibility is an essential step in determining accurate compensation.
Serious car accidents that involve multiple severe injuries can take at least a year to complete the settlement process. Most minor accident claims can be settled relatively quickly, but it is impossible to provide an accurate estimate without knowing the full details of your case.
