There is no easy answer when it comes to how long a personal injury claim takes to complete. Each claim is different than the last as each case is treated as unique so some are resolved in no time at all whereas others can take longer.
Certainly, when emotions are running high, it can be hard to understand why the process can take as long as it does. Such claims are of a serious nature and your personal injury lawyer is trying to achieve the highest level of compensation that you are entitled to for your rehabilitation as well as your financial needs. For him to do this, however, there are certain factors which should be taken into account so that compensation can be granted.
Facts
You will need to work with your lawyer in ensuring that he has as much information as possible regarding the accident. However, some lawyers don’t want bad cases, so you really need to find one who’s really interested to handle your case. They will then evaluate the facts and if a potential case exists, he will start the process of the claim. The more evidence available, the better such as witness statements. Medical evidence is also important and certainly for cases of medical negligence when BBK lawyers will need all of the information you can provide.
Liability
This may be the most crucial part of any personal injury claim. Claims are typically settled more smoothly should the third party be more willing to cooperate and take responsibility for liability. Should they dispute the claim, then you can expect a longer process to occur as more investigation will be needed.
Settlement
This is the last major step of the claim but again, time is dependent upon the cooperation of the third party. Your lawyer will want to ensure that you receive the compensation that you are entitled to so there will likely be an element of negotiation taking place.
