Step 3: Contact Your Insurance Company.
Step 4: Filing Your Insurance Claim.
It’s a legal case you can bring if you’ve been hurt in an accident that was wholly or partially someone else’s fault. It’s the official process of recovering compensation from the other party responsible. The compensation is paid by the other side’s insurance company. There are no upfront costs and you pay nothing if your claim doesn’t succeed.
You have the right to file a personal injury claim against anyone who causes you to sustain physical injuries by their reckless, careless, or negligent acts. You also have the right to represent yourself in a personal injury claim against the at-fault party.
The value of your injury claim will depend on multiple factors including the severity of your injuries, whether your injuries will require future medical care, and the insurance policies available to compensate you.

The short answer to the question, “How long does a personal injury case take” is anywhere between a few months and two years. Sometimes, a client’s financial situation dictates how long a personal injury case takes.
As a very rough guide, a claim may take 6 to 12 months if liability is accepted by the treatment or care provider immediately. If liability is disputed, it could take 12 to 18 months for more complicated claims.
