Settling personal injury claims can take up to 5 years depending on a variety of factors, including the complexity of the case and the willingness of the plaintiff to wait for a better result. Straight-forward cases, such as car accidents involving a rear-end collision, can be settled relatively quickly, as it's unlikely there will be disputed facts and supporting documents are readily available. Injuries in which facts are disputed can require discovery hearings and other reports that take several years.
Insurance companies generally offer low settlements in an attempt to resolve cases quickly. Holding out for a larger settlement or taking the case to court can result in higher settlements for the plaintiff. Another factor affecting the length of time to settle a personal injury claim is the severity of the injury. Cases involving chronic pain or other disabling injuries typically take much longer to settle than soft tissue injury claims
