If you have to go to court to settle your spinal cord injury claim, it can extend the time needed to resolve your case. By the time you go to court, you have likely already gone through several rounds of negotiation with the insurance company. You may have to sit down with a mediator and attempt to resolve before you appear in court. Finally, you will need to wait for a court date. In some cases, the liable party’s insurance company may even try to put off appearing in court, dragging out the process further. Do not expect a fast resolution to a spinal cord injury claim. Due to the significant losses you’ve sustained, you can expect it to take a considerable amount of time to resolve your claim.
