Question:
How long does it take to settle a bus accident claim?
Answer:
In the very beginning of a bus accident claim, it’s often not possible to know how long a resolution will take. Sometimes you can give a range and say this is going to resolve within maybe up to three months or six months. But until you’ve gotten an understanding of the victim’s damages and the willingness of the other side to negotiate in good faith, it’s impossible to say.
On the other hand, if you can tell early on that a case is going to go to trial based on the nature of the injuries, timeframe is not as difficult to estimate. Trials usually take out about 18 months. The same is true if you’ve gained clarity on damages but the insurance company is not showing a willingness to come to the table in good faith. In such a case, you know from that point onward you’re looking at an approximate timeframe of 18 months to go through a trial.
