How Long After a Demand Letter Does a Settlement Take?

When you’re hurt in a serious accident, you may have grounds for a settlement from the insurance company. Unfortunately, you may have filed your claim only to receive little or no settlement for your suffering. 

Your next step may be a demand letter, but how long will that take? You’re already suffering, and the bill collectors may already want their due. 

A local personal injury lawyer at the Henry Dailey Law Firm can make a difference when you need help settling your claim. Your lawyer can help you act now to get compensated fairly for your injuries. 

Waiting Times Can Vary 

You may know your lawyer can help, but how long will it take to get an answer from your insurance company for your economic and non-economic damages? Unfortunately, there’s no universal answer. 

That’s because the time it takes to get a settlement offer after a demand letter will depend on the insurance company’s response. For example, they may continue to deny you the compensation you need, or they may delay responding to your claim to make you more likely to give up and accept whatever offer you receive when it comes. Because of this, you may need to speak with your lawyer about their response. 

Ensuring You Get the Compensation You Deserve 

But rushing your claim can hurt your future, and it can impact your claim. That’s why we’re focused on getting your compensation, not on rushing your claim to any conclusion. For example, if you have a long-term injury like brain trauma, you may need to spend more time calculating the long-term effects of your brain injury. 

Getting a settlement that covers all your losses isn’t always easy. You may face lowball settlement offers that don’t meet your needs, or the insurance company may continue to deny your claim and your compensation. 

Because of this, your lawyer will do everything in their power to get you the full and fair settlement you deserve, even if it means going to court.
