How Long Does It Take to Settle a Claim With Progressive Insurance?

Were you recently involved in a personal injury accident? Did a member of your family lose his or her life as a result of the recklessness or negligence of another party? Regardless of the situation, you might have grounds to file a lawsuit against the liable party’s insurance company. After a personal injury accident, you might have suffered a variety of injuries, such as the following: head injuries, brain injuries, shoulder injuries, hip injuries, knee injuries, back injuries, neck injuries, and spinal cord injuries, for instance. If you suffered injuries, you could file an injury claim and receive compensation.

At Normandie Law Firm, our attorneys have dedicated many years of their careers fighting for the rights of all parties affected by personal injury accidents. Our attorneys have successfully handled many claims against various insurance companies and focused on recovering the compensation that claimants deserve. Our attorneys are dedicated to reducing the amount of time it takes to settle a claim while ensuring that clients recover the maximum amount of compensation available. Our attorneys have repeatedly accomplished this with many insurance companies, including Progressive.

About Progressive

Progressive was founded in 1937 as the Progressive Mutual Insurance Company, with a focus on auto insurance. Over the years, the insurance company became the Progressive Casualty Company and expanded to provide many different insurance services. Driven by innovation, Progressive quickly became one of the largest insurance companies in the United States. Because Progressive is one of the most popular insurance companies in the country, you could have grounds to file a claim against the insurance company. Were you injured by a party with Progressive insurance? If so, you might have considered filing a claim to fight for your right to be compensated.

If you have considered the possibility of filing a claim against Progressive or if you have already filed your claim, you might have many of the following questions:

• How much time does it take Progressive to settle a case?
• How long does Progressive take to send a settlement check?
• How long must claimants wait before they are compensated for the injuries they suffered?

It is normal to ask yourself the questions above. After a personal injury accident, claimants often encounter financial difficulties that only reaching a settlement and being rightfully compensated can solve. At Normandie Law Firm, we understand your concerns regarding the amount of time it takes Progressive to settle an accident claim; our attorneys are ready to answer all your questions and guide you through your legal process to ensure that your claim is settled as soon as possible.

Steps toward Reaching a Settlement

How long does it take Progressive to settle a claim? How long does Progressive take to process a personal injury claim? How long does it take for an insurance company to pay out a claim? How long until you receive your settlement check from Progressive? After suffering injuries and filing a claim, you might be anxious to receive your settlement check and finally move on with your life. However, there is not one universal length of time that applies to all personal injury claims. Instead, all of the following must occur:

• The victim must achieve maximum recovery or finish medical treatment. This ensures that all medical expenses are finalized and that the attorney has access to updated medical bills to begin determining the value of the claim.
• The attorney must have all supporting documents. Besides supporting documents for medical expenses, the attorney must also have documents that prove any other expenses, values, or losses associated with the accident. Did you lose income? Was your property damaged? Were you evaluated for mental and emotional distress?
• The attorney must create a demand package consisting of all of the following: details about the accident, description of liability, details about the injuries suffered, supporting documents for everything that affects the value of the claim (medical bills, lost wages, etc.), and a settlement demand. (Note: Demand packages could only be sent after victims finish their medical treatment or reach maximum recovery. An exception could be made with the evaluation of an impartial medical professional who can project the costs for future medical treatment.) The attorney must send the demand package to Progressive.
• The insurance company must investigate the claim. After receiving a demand package, Progressive will take anywhere from three weeks to eight weeks investigating the personal injury claim. Considering that insurance companies are dedicated to paying little to nothing to claimants, Progressive, as well as other insurance companies, often search for ways to debunk the claim and dramatically reduce its value.
• Progressive, after concluding the investigation, will respond with a settlement offer. This settlement offer is often based on what they think the claim is worth. However, most initial settlement offers are very low.
• Your attorney will respond to Progressive’s settlement offer with a counteroffer. The back-and-forth negotiation will continue until one party accepts the other’s offer.
• After reaching a settlement, the claimant must sign a release form.
• Progressive sends out the settlement check within a few weeks.
• Your attorney will deduct legal fees and any liens, for example, from your settlement check.
• You will receive your settlement check and your claim will come to an end.

Based on the steps above, there are at least three parties who could drastically affect the time to reach a settlement. If your attorney is incompetent and takes too long to send a demand package or fails to follow-up with the insurance company, the time it takes to settle the claim could be extended. If the insurance company does not take your claim seriously and is looking to devalue its worth, the time to settle could also be extended. If you fail to quickly respond and sign the settlement release form after reaching a settlement with Progressive, the amount of time it takes Progressive to send a check could increase. If you would like to learn more about everything that must be done before reaching a settlement with Progressive, you must contact the attorneys at Normandie Law Firm as soon as possible. Our attorneys will provide you with all the information you need to understand how long it can take to reach a settlement when you file a claim against Progressive.

How the Expertise of an Attorney Can Benefit Your Claim

Do you really need an attorney to help you file your injury claim against Progressive? Many people attempt to handle their claims independently, without the assistance of an experienced lawyer. Unfortunately, many of these people are intimidated by insurance companies and insurance adjusters. Because claimants are often inexperienced in handling claims and negotiating with insurance companies, they cannot effectively negotiate with insurance companies and end up with unreasonably low settlement offers. Because of this same lack of experience, claimants often fail to follow-up with insurance companies to ensure that reaching a settlement remains a top priority, which can cause the process to lengthen unnecessarily. The attorneys at Normandie Law Firm cannot force Progressive or any other insurance company to reach an immediate settlement. However, our attorneys can ensure that you and your claim are taken seriously. Our attorneys will constantly follow-up with the insurance adjusters, even if it means calling them every day. With dedication and perseverance, our attorneys will ensure that your personal injury settlement does not take longer than it needs to take. If you would like to learn more about how you and your claim could benefit from the legal representation of one of our attorneys, you must contact our law firm as soon as possible.
