The Legal Process and Reaching a Settlement
How long do truck accident cases with Travelers take to settle? If you were rear ended by a truck or were involved in any other type of truck accident, the average time it takes Travelers to settle a truck accident lawsuit will depend significantly on the legal process. The process of reaching a truck accident claim settlement consists of the following:
- The claimant finishes medical treatment.
- The attorney collects all information regarding the truck accident claim.
- The attorney creates and sends a demand package to the insurance company making a demand for settlement.
- The insurance company must review the demand package and launch an investigation of the truck accident claim.
- The insurance company must respond to the demand for settlement with a settlement offer.
- The attorney must negotiate a settlement.
- The claimant must sign a settlement release form.
- The insurance company must send the settlement check to the attorney’s firm.
- The attorney must make the funds available for the claimant.
As you could see, there are many steps to the legal process that must be completed to reach a settlement. Every step above is associated with a length of time. For instance, it could take anywhere from 3 to 6 months, or even longer, for a claimant to complete medical treatment. It could take a few weeks to a month for the attorney to prepare the demand package and send it to the insurance company. The insurance company will then take approximately one month to investigate the claim. The negotiation process could last a few weeks to a few months depending on the details of the claim and the willingness of the parties to reach a settlement. After signing the release form, it could take up to 6 weeks for the settlement check to be sent. Then, it could take an additional 2 weeks before the attorney makes the settlement funds available for the claimant.
If any of the points above are delayed or take longer to complete, your case will take longer to reach a settlement. For more information about the process of reaching a settlement for your truck accident claim, do not hesitate to contact our law firm as soon as possible.
Other Influential Factors
What type of injuries did you sustain? Did someone die? Is the policy limit high enough for the value of your truck accident claim? Is the insurance company accepting liability? Is Travelers insurance willing to negotiate? Is your attorney competent? Is your lawyer following-up with the insurance company to ensure that your claim remains a priority to settle? Have you been available to discuss your claim with your lawyer? All of the questions above are relevant to reaching a settlement for your truck accident claim.

The Average Amount of Time to Reach a Settlement
How much time does Travelers take to make payment on a truck accident case? The average amount of time it takes for Travelers insurance to compensate you for a truck accident case depends on the specific details of your claim. You should expect your claim to settle within 2 years; however, your claim could settle at any time. Frequently, truck accidents can reach a settlement between 12 months and 18 months. These truck accident claims are often straightforward and encounter only minor delays during the legal process. Simple claims that involve only minor injuries can usually settle in less than 12 months, sometimes within a 6-month to 8-month duration. In some instances, the truck accident claims are so complex or encounter so many obstacles that the claim can only settle after 2 years; however, this occurs rarely.
