Why It Matters
Why does the amount of time it takes Northland Insurance to settle a truck accident case matter to you, your family, and a number of other parties affected by truck accidents? To understand why the duration to settle a truck accident claim matters, it is essential to review the negative effects—especially to finances—that truck accidents cause.
Truck accidents could result in the following expenses:
- Medical bills
- Property damage bills
- Funeral/burial bills
These sudden expenses could leave victims and their families struggling to make ends meet. If the injured or deceased victim was the primary source of income for the entire family, the loss of income (whether permanent or temporary) could result in the inability to keep up with normal living expenses. Victims and their families could quickly find themselves in severe debt—they could even lose some of their personal property.
Without a doubt, reaching a truck accident settlement cannot reverse the harm that you and your family suffered as a result of the truck accident. However, a settlement could provide you with a stable foundation to begin focusing on moving forward with your life after such a traumatic experience. Our truck accident lawyers believe that you deserve the peace of mind of zero financial stress to better focus on leaving this unfortunate chapter behind. Because of that, our truck accident lawyers will aggressively fight for your right to reach a settlement for your truck accident claim against Northland Insurance.
The Average Time to Settle Truck Accident Claims
How much time does Northland Insurance take to make payment on a truck accident case? What is the average time it takes Northland Insurance to settle a truck accident lawsuit? How long do you have to wait for Northland Insurance to settle a semi-truck accident case? Because the amount of time it takes for Northland Insurance to pay on an 18 wheeler accident case varies depending on the details of the truck accident case, it can be difficult to establish averages. In many cases, averages are often misrepresentations of how long it takes Northland Insurance to settle a semi-truck accident claim because strictly numerical averages do not account for all the factors that could alter the time it takes to reach a settlement. It is easier to establish averages among similar cases. For example, most truck accident claims are settled within 2 years. Often, truck accident claims with little to no complications can reach a settlement in less than 18 months. Simple claims that are—for the most part—straightforward usually settle at any time from 12 months to 18 months. On the contrary, complex claims can settle in more than 2 years. Frequently, simple claims that encounter obstacles during the legal process or claims that are complex from the start take significantly longer to settle than simpler claims. Although a claim taking more than 2 years to reach a settlement occurs only rarely, all claimants should be aware of the possibility. If you would like to learn more about how long an 18 wheeler lawsuit takes, you should seek legal assistance with the truck accident lawyers at Normandie Law Firm as soon as possible.
The Legal Process and Your Settlement
If you were rear ended by a truck, it is essential that you understand the legal process to gain a better understanding of how long a truck accident lawsuit takes to settle. The legal process consists of many steps, all of which contribute to reaching a truck accident settlement. The steps of the legal process are the same for all truck accident claims; however, the length of time that each step takes is likely to vary significantly from case to case. The following steps form the legal process:
- Building your case. Your lawyer evaluates the details of your truck accident claim and begins building your truck accident claim by gathering all supporting evidence for your claim.
- Making a demand. Your truck accident lawyer will create a demand package (making a demand for settlement). Your lawyer will send the demand package to Northland Insurance for review and await a response from the insurance company.
- Investigating the claim. The insurance company will receive the demand package and begin investigating the claim. After the investigation is complete, the insurance company will contact your attorney with a response to the demand package. In some cases, responses contain settlement offers.
- Negotiating a settlement. Often, initial settlement offers are ridiculously low compared to the demand that was made. Your truck accident lawyer will have to respond with a counteroffer and begin negotiations until all parties can agree on a reasonable settlement.
- Signing the release. After agreeing to a settlement, you will have to sign a settlement release document. After signing the document, the insurance company will send the settlement check.
- Paying fees. Your attorney will receive the settlement check and begun deducted specific amounts for all legal fees. If there were any liens on your settlement, your attorney will also ensure that all outstanding balances are paid. You will then receive the remaining portion of the settlement.
All the steps listed above are essential to reaching a settlement. If a delay in your treatment, the incompetence of an attorney, the unprofessionalism of an insurance representative, or your lack of availability could all affect the steps above and delay the legal process, which could lengthen the time it takes to settle your truck accident claim. Your case will take longer to reach a settlement if there are complications during the legal process. Is your claim already complex? When handled correctly by competent and knowledgeable truck accident lawyers, even the most complicated of claims can be settled. Do not hesitate to contact our law firm as soon as possible.
