The answer is that it is a difficult question to answer. It depends on many different variables. One of the main variables it depends upon is how badly you are injured. You may have severe injuries that are going to take a very, very long time to resolve. It may take you a long time to get to maximum medical improvement. Before that happens, you don’t want to try to settle with an insurance company; you’re only doing yourself a disservice by doing that. Another variable that’s almost just as important is how reasonable the insurance company you’re dealing with is. If the insurance company is not acting in a reasonable manner, oftentimes you’re going to have to file a lawsuit, which can add a significant amount of time to any case. In either event, you want to make sure that you find an attorney who is seasoned in litigating cases involving bicycles, as well as seasoned in litigating cases against insurance companies.
