The timescale will depend on the circumstances of the claim.

Straightforward claims may resolve within several months, particularly where responsibility is accepted, insurance is confirmed and the injuries are clear.

More complex claims can take longer. This may happen where responsibility is disputed, the correct insurer is difficult to identify, the injury involves scarring or psychological trauma, or the claim is brought on behalf of a child and needs court approval.

Havard Law Solicitors will keep you updated throughout and explain likely timescales once the facts, evidence and medical position have been reviewed.
