How Long Does It Take to Get a PI Settlement?

How long does it take to get a personal injury settlement? The short answer is it depends, and an even longer answer is it really depends. The single most important thing that you can do is go get that treatment, whatever treatment that your medical providers recommend that you need to heal. Go get that treatment. Once you’re done treating and you’re either healed or you are as good as you’re going to get, it’s at that point that we will then go send a demand to the other side’s insurance company, maybe your own insurance company. That’s when we’ll go ask for money, and that could be a few months after you’re injured or it could be a year or even longer depending on how serious your injury is and how long your treatment has taken. It can also depend on whether we have to file a lawsuit and go to trial. Some cases can get handled in a few months, but they can take a year, two years, even longer depending on a whole host of factors. But the single most important thing for you to do is to go get the treatment, and then we can figure out how long it’s going to take to get your settlement.
