If you have had a serious auto accident, one of the main problems, besides the injuries, is how long it takes to get paid on the car accident compensation claim.
In a major accident claim, the insurance company needs to complete their due diligence including a complete investigation of the mishap before they can even consider a settlement because of the potential size of the claim. This is understandable.
What Should You Do
You need to get the best professional personal injury law firm that you can find to represent you. One that has a successful track record winning cases like yours.
Not all law firms will be equal in their ability just as all cases are not the same. But if a law firm has been successful in winning cases that were similar to yours, the chances are that that firm or individual lawyer knows that portion of personal injury law well.
If the other party was clearly at fault in the accident and that is not in dispute, it is possible that the insurance company might allow an interim payment made to you based on how strong your case it to help with ongoing medical/rehabilitation cost or living costs if you are unable to return to your normal work.
You might also check out lenders that fund lawsuits. These are very specialized lenders. They may make you a loan based on what they perceive as the strength of your case. Many times they do not require you to re-pay the loan if you lose.
With that said, you need to understand that they don’t loan you anywhere near the possible settlement of the case. The way they make their money is by loaning you a smaller amount and receiving the whole or substantially the whole settlement that might have come to you. But sometimes this is what is needed to get your car accident compensation claim paid.
