The issue of car accident settlement taking so long isn’t something new. We’ve seen and handled many similar cases before.
Several factors can contribute to the timeline of settling a car accident claim. These include the complexity of the accident, the severity of injuries and property damage, disputes over fault or coverage, and the thoroughness of the investigation required to establish liability. Delays can also occur if there is difficulty in obtaining necessary documentation or when negotiations between parties are prolonged.
Sometimes, though, insurance companies may intentionally delay the process for no apparent reason. In legal terms, that’s what is called acting in bad faith. If you believe you are entitled to compensation after an accident, but the insurance company is acting in bad faith, it’s best to have your case reviewed for free by an insurance expert from our team.
