No matter the nature of the personal injury incurred by a person, in the case where the liability is not disputed and where the damage has been fully quantified, the insurer who guarantees civil liability for a land motor vehicle is required to submit to the victim a reasoned offer of compensation within a stipulated amount of time.

When the liability is rejected or is not clearly established, or where the damage has not been fully quantified, the insurer must, within the same period, give a reasoned response to the elements invoked in the application.

An offer of compensation must be made to the victim who has suffered an injury to his person within the maximum period of eight months from the accident. In the event of the death of the victim, the offer is made to his heirs and, if applicable, to his spouse. The offer then includes all the compensable elements of the damage, including the elements relating to damage to property when they have not been the subject of a prior settlement, speaking to a Gordon & Gordon Law Firm will help so much.

How Long Will My Case Take?

It is not common for lawsuits to take several years to be resolved, although that will depend on several factors, including the nature of the claim and the severity of the injuries. Sometimes, a case can be resolved faster when the liability, damages,and coverage available are clear from the start.

Keep in mind, the longer it takes you to take the resolution of the case, it is the insurance companies that benefit by staying with the money. So time is the friend of insurance companies in most cases. Time can be the enemy of the plaintiffs. The cases do not improve with time. Life goes on,and circumstances change.

So to answer the question that most clients ask, the answer is on the trial date. The sooner a date is obtained for the trial of the case, the sooner it will be finished either by failure or by indemnification.
