Commercial trucking accident claims often take longer than standard car accident cases. This is due to the severity of injuries, the complexity of damages, and the involvement of multiple insurance policies.
While every case is different, most truck accident claims take anywhere from a few months to over a year to resolve. Many cases settle outside of court, but several factors can significantly impact the timeline.
Truck accident cases involve multiple moving parts. The following factors can influence how long your case takes to settle:
Severe injuries often require extended medical treatment, which can delay settlement.
In most cases, it is best to wait until you reach maximum medical improvement (MMI) before settling so that all medical costs are fully understood.
Recovery timelines vary significantly depending on the injury. Some cases resolve in weeks, while others may take months or years.
Settling too early can leave you responsible for future medical costs, which is why patience is often critical.
Once treatment is complete, your attorney will calculate both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages include measurable costs like medical bills and lost wages, while non-economic damages account for pain and suffering and reduced quality of life.
