How long will it take to receive my personal injury settlement?

Personal injury lawsuits can vary a great deal in terms of the time it will take to settle.
First, it depends on how soon after your accident you consult with an accident lawyer and the speed at which all the case information is gathered.
Second, the severity of the accident and the extent of the bodily injuries can influence the duration. Typically, insurance companies prefer to wait until the victim has fully recovered and all medical records are available before reaching a settlement. This underscores the advantage of engaging a personal injury attorney who can arrange a medical lien, sparing you the burden of paying medical bills upfront and awaiting reimbursement.
Finally, it hinges on the size of the settlement. If you are open to accepting a smaller settlement, your case can usually be resolved more promptly. However, if you are pursuing a larger settlement and the matter goes to trial, it may take longer.
