Cue the fireworks, fire up the grill, and get ready for what might be the most ambitious birthday cake of all time. 🎂

America turns 250 this year, which means 250 candles on the cake … so someone should probably alert the fire department.

However you’re celebrating the Fourth of July, we hope it’s filled with great food, good company, and a sky full of fireworks.

How long will the case take?

This is very common question because the injury happened and the financial losses and pain in need of compensation have started and in a perfect world the fair compensation for the injury would be immediate. Realistically, information has to be processed and negotiations or a decision by fact finders must conclude before the liable party pays.

Every case is unique but the goal is to get the money for the case as soon as possible. The first thing in the process is to identify the policy limits and confirm the financial situation for the at fault party.

If there is inadequate insurance and a decision that the costs and time to pursue the at fault person individually would not be best, payment often comes shortly after the claim has exceeded the policy limits. If there is enough insurance through the liability policy and/or uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, then all medical treatment will need to be completed and all records and bills then submitted to the insurance carrier to maximize the possible resolution. If the insurance company does not offer to pay full the full value of the case then the case proceeds to arbitration hearing for uninsured or underinsured claims and to trial on liability policies and there is always the potential for appeals after trial.

If we have to proceed with court or an arbitration process there are certain steps to get to final resolution including pleadings, evidence gathering and depositions.

Each step in a court case typically concludes before the next step and each step involves significant activity that can take time despite my best efforts to speed it up. Throughout that process though the insurance may offer to pay fair value but is it up to them on whether and when to do that. My goal is to keep pressuring them to move the case forward and that often prompts them to offer what is fair knowing that they will incur significant costs to get to that same result later.

An understanding of this process is good so that you know what to possibly expect. We will help move the case through the process to get the proper money for the case as soon as possible.
