How soon can I get my claim resolved?

Q: How soon can I get my claim resolved?

A: It varies.

Claims for property damage typically get resolved within ten days, although the actual repair may take longer than that. Most lawyers take no fee for helping resolve the property damage claim if they are also handling the bodily injury claim.

Claims for bodily injury other than death claims usually take much longer to properly handle. Insurance companies often want to settle a bodily injury claim right away, but that is almost always in their interest, not yours. The true value of a non–death bodily injury claim cannot be determined until the extent of injury and recovery is known. Depending on the injury, this is usually between a couple of months and two years. Most lawyers handle this type of claim on a contingent fee for a percent of the recovery. This allows an injured person to be represented and owe nothing for lawyer fees until and unless money is produced.
