This will depend upon whether your claim is defended and how serious your injuries are. A simple case can be settled in 6-9 months although cases with more serious injuries can take two or three years.

There are two factors that affect the speed of a claim. First, there is blame. If the other party accepts their actions caused the accident it helps. If not, we may have to gather evidence to prove our case and this can take time. If the Defendant still fails to accept blame and the issue of proceedings becomes necessary, it may be 2-3 years before a case comes to Court depending upon the issues involved.
