This question and a related one: “how long will it take to close my case?” are some of the most common questions we get.
While there’s no easy answer, the time it takes will depend on factors such as the type of accident, the severity of injuries, the amount of insurance involved, the at-fault party, the length of treatment, and any liens that may be involved. All these factors (and more) are taken into account to determine how long it will take for you to get a pay-out. Because the answer to these questions depends on the specific circumstances associated with your situation, there’s no online “calculator” that’s going to give you a foolproof answer.
Below, you can see some of the factors that are taken into consideration:
– The type of accident.
– The severity of the injuries.
– The insurance companies involved.
– The insurance policy limits.
– The responsible party.
– The length of treatment.
– If you recovered fully.
Your receipt of the funds may be further delayed if there are legal claims to address—such as child medical support—or if you are covered by Medicare, which may require additional processing.
Since the answer to this question depends on the specific circumstances of your situation, your recommendation would be to schedule a time to speak with one of our specialists about your case.
