Here are some reasons why you need to be patient after a pedestrian accident injury. Pedestrian injury case can take a long time. Number one, because the injuries are very serious. Usually, the lifetime of a case generally depends on how long it takes somebody to get better. So, if somebody’s got a year of treatment or 18 months of treatment, it’s going to delay being able to resolve that case because you need to see what the future prognosis is before you can make an informed decision about whether a settlement offer is good or whether you need to explore filing a lawsuit, having a jury decide what the case is worth. Sometimes that can take 2 to 3 years if you have to file in circuit court from the date of the incident through the resolution. It’s a very slow process. However, if you want to get the result that you deserve, you need to understand that it’s going to take some time. Insurance companies will often try to call people in the weeks and months after an incident and give them low ball settlement offers. And you want to get an attorney involved immediately who can advise you that you would be taking pennies on the dollar if you accept the insurance company’s lowball offer. If you want to go through the process and get what you deserve, it will take some time, but it’s worth it on the other end of it. No need to worry.
