What Is the Personal Injury Claim Process?

The personal injury claim process can go a couple of different directions. Initially, every case will be fully investigated, and that means we’re collecting medical records and we’re doing an investigation as to what caused the crash. We can sometimes take that information to an insurance company and find a resolution relatively quickly within several months, but sometimes cases are more complicated.

And if that’s the case, insurance companies don’t always want to pay for what they’ve done right away. Sometimes we have to file a lawsuit to push them along. If we file a lawsuit, the process becomes longer. It can last several months or several years depending on what kind of resistance the insurance company provides.

In the end, it’s important to know that the length of your case is going to be dependent on a number of factors and first it’s how easy is it to figure out what happened and secondly how much is that insurance company gonna push back and that’s why it’s important to always talk with a lawyer to make sure you know what things look like on the horizon before you start down the path of a personal injury case.
