How long will it take to settle my accident claim in the UK?

26.04.2024

There's no one-size-fits-all answer, as it depends on the specifics of your case. However, here's what usually influences the timeframe:

  • Who's at fault: If the other side admits fault quickly, things tend to move faster. Disputes can drag things out.
  • How severe your injuries are: Minor injuries often settle quicker. Serious injuries, or those with long-term effects, take longer to assess.
  • How quickly you start the process: Getting advice early means unnecessary delays can be avoided.
  • Whether it goes to court: Most cases settle out of court. But, if you can't agree on a fair settlement, court proceedings can add years.
  • Simpler cases might be sorted within a few months. More complex claims, especially those with serious injuries, can take years to settle.

How "it happens" can help speed things up:

  • We build a strong case: This puts pressure on insurers to act quickly.
  • We fight to keep things moving: We know the tactics insurers use to delay, and we won't let them get away with it.
  • We might be able to get you interim payments: This can offer some financial relief while you await your full compensation.
