So you have unfortunately been injured and have a claim with the insurance company. "How long will the claim take?". This is a question that is asked often. There is no set time as to when you should try to settle your claim. It all depends on who you do medically. Keep in mind that you will have to sign a release of your claim to settle; once a release is signed, you can't come back later for anything.
Your best bet is typically to make sure your doctors have determined what your maximum medical improvement is before you settle your claim.
Keep in mind, that for personal injury cases in Pennsylvania, there is typically a 2 year deadline ("statute of limitations"). This means that if you do not settle your claim, you must file with the correct court before the statute of limitations deadline. If not, any rights you may have would end. You should consult with an experienced Pennsylvania personal injury.
In the UK the time limitation period for making personal injury claims is three years victims 18 years old or over.
ReplyDeleteThe length of acquiring personal injury claims mainly depends on the rule of law governing the area. If one condition applies in a state, it doesn't mean it will also apply in other regions. Thanks for sharing this post, Dave. For sure, a lot of readers will find this info useful.
