How long does it take for a personal injury claim to settle?

If you’ve been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault in Queensland, you may be wondering how long it will take for your personal injury claim to settle.

The answer to this question can vary widely depending on a number of factors. In this article, we’ll answer that question from our experience as personal injury lawyers.

In general, the time it takes to settle a personal injury claim in Queensland can range from several months to several years.

The length of time will depend on the complexity of your case, the severity of your injuries, and the willingness of the insurer or compensation scheme to negotiate a fair settlement.

Some factors that can affect the length of time it takes for a personal injury claim to settle include:

• The severity of your injuries: If your injuries are severe, it may take longer to assess the full extent of your injuries and the impact they will have on your life.
• The complexity of your case: If your case is complex, it may take longer to gather evidence and negotiate a settlement.
• The willingness of the insurer or compensation scheme to negotiate: If the insurer or compensation scheme is unwilling to negotiate a fair settlement, it may take longer to reach a resolution.

It’s important to note that settling a personal injury claim can be a complex and time-consuming process.
