How fast can I get my settlement following a car accident?

Some cases are resolved in just a few months and without any formal litigation. Sometimes, your attorney can work directly with the other party or the insurance company to reach a resolution in a timely manner. In other cases, litigation can continue for more than a year. Most cases in Kansas City fall somewhere in-between. The more complicated your case, the longer you can expect it to take. The more severe your injuries and the longer you require treatment, the longer it will take. You may also have some control over the duration of your case since you decide whether to accept or reject a settlement offer.
