How Long Does It Take To Receive A Settlement?
If you have had an accident, you may be thinking about making a claim for personal injury compensation, but you may be wondering how long does it take to receive a settlement?
If you have suffered a personal injury or have been the victim of clinical negligence read on to find out how long it takes to receive a settlement.
Personal Injury
For personal injury claims, the length of time taken to settle your claim will depend upon the complexity and severity of your injury and whether the other side admits liability for your accident and/or whether the third party complies promptly with any requests for information.
The initial process is for the Solicitor to submit details of your accident and the allegations of negligence to the company / relevant body who we believe are responsible who then have a period of up to 4 months in which to investigate and return to us with their decision. If we receive an admission of liability for your accident then we would proceed to obtain medical evidence from an expert and how quickly we can obtain this depends on both the expert and as mentioned above, the complexity of your injury. In some cases, an injury can take a long time to heal, or we may require reports from more than one expert and/or you may require further tests or treatment before we can settle your claim.
Should we receive a denial of liability for your accident then your claim may take longer as we may need to obtain further documents and send your claim to a Barrister to review before we can proceed to obtain medical evidence.

Clinical Negligence
Most Clinical Negligence claims take longer to reach a conclusion than a personal injury claim. The reason for this is that a lot of Clinical Negligence claims need to undergo a thorough screening and investigation process before details of any claim can be submitted to the relevant medical body / Trust. This involves obtaining all your medical records from your GP and any Hospital you attended, a meticulous review of these records, and obtaining reports from experts in the relevant field as to the potential of any negligence.
