Were you recently involved in a personal injury accident? Did a member of your family lose his or her life after being involved in a personal injury accident? Unfortunately, many parties suffer personal injury accidents. Although some parties suffer fatal injuries, the many parties affected by personal injury accidents survive but suffer a variety of injuries. Some of the most common injuries suffered by those injured in personal injury accidents include the following: fractures, sprains, strains, scrapes, bruises, head injuries, brain injuries, neck injuries, back injuries, spinal cord injuries, hip injuries, shoulder injuries, knee injuries, foot injuries, and hand injuries, for example. If you sustained injuries as a result of your personal injury accident, you could have a right to file a lawsuit and receive compensation.
Were you involved in an accident with a party insured by Nationwide? If you or a member of your family were harmed in a personal injury accident caused by the negligent or reckless behavior of a party carrying a Nationwide insurance policy, you might have grounds to file a Nationwide claim to become eligible to receive compensation. If you have considered the possibility of filing a Nationwide claim or if you have already filed your Nationwide claim, you might have many of the following questions:
- How long does it take Nationwide to settle a case?
- How long does Nationwide take to process a personal injury claim?
- What determines the amount of time it takes Nationwide to send a check?
- How much time must claimants wait before their claim settles?
It is normal for you to want answers to these questions; you are not the only affected claimant anxious to settle your claim and finally move on with your life. Why is the length of time it takes Nationwide to settle a case so important to you and other claimants? You can probably answer that question based on your own experience. Your personal injury accident likely caused a variety of injuries that resulted in medical bills and the loss of income.

Working Towards Reaching a Settlement
How long does it take for Nationwide Insurance to settle a claim? How long does it take Nationwide to pay out a claim? How many months do I have to wait to get paid by Nationwide after an accident? Before your questions are answered, you must understand that there are many things that must happen before your claim reaches a settlement. Although each point below is different, they all share the same purpose—reaching a settlement.
All of the following must occur:
- Your attorney must send the insurance company a demand package. To send out a demand package, the client must have finished medical treatment or reached total recovery. Your attorney must send out the demand package with all supporting documents and await a response.
- The insurance company will receive the demand package and launch an investigation. After concluding the investigation for your claim, you should receive a settlement offer.
- After the first settlement offer, the negotiation process begins. If the first offer is too low, your attorney will make a counteroffer. This will happen repeatedly until the parties agree.
- After reaching a settlement, the claimant must sign a release form so that the insurance company can send out the settlement check.
- After receiving the settlement check, your attorney will deduct all legal fees and expected and give you your portion of the settlement.
Everything above must happen before a claim settles and the client receives a check. If one step takes too long, the time it takes to reach the settlement could be extended. For more information, you must contact the attorneys at Normandie Law Firm as soon as possible.
Time Estimates
How long does it take for Nationwide Insurance to settle an accident claim? How long does Nationwide take to send a settlement check? As described above, there are many things that affect how long it takes to finally reach a settlement. In general, the longer it takes for something listed above to occur, the longer it will take for your claim to settle. For example, you might think that your attorney is pestering you to complete your medical treatment or to come into the office to sign a release form, but they are only doing so to ensure that you receive your settlement check as soon as possible. In general, it can take a few months to even begin the process of negotiating a settlement. In most cases, approximately two years pass before a personal injury claim against Nationwide settles. If you would like to find out more information about the length of time that could pass before your personal injury claim finally settles, you must contact our law firm as soon as possible.
The Benefits of Hiring an Attorney
Could you handle your claim against Nationwide Insurance without the legal guidance and advice of an experienced attorney? Although you could handle your claim without the representation of an attorney, it is not recommended. Why is handling your claim independently such a bad idea? The answer to that is simple: insurance companies, including Nationwide, are constantly working to pay claimants little to nothing. Nationwide will find all the ways possible to undervalue your claim. They might consistently make unreasonable settlement offers that an unrepresented claimant might accept simply because the offer is better than nothing. They might also consistently give you the run-around with the intention of making you drop the claim. In essence, your lack of experience in handling claims against insurance companies can negatively affect the outcome of your personal injury claim.
