I was shocked when my initial assessment came back as minor but I was too overwhelmed at the time to dispute it. Something in my gut told me to get a second opinion and I’m so relieved I did. I almost missed out of a lump sum payment which has helped so much with my recovery.

How long will my claim take?

Most personal injury claims settle within 9 to 18 months; however, some can take longer. The amount of time it takes to settle your claim is determined by:

How long it takes for your injuries to stabilise so that they can be assessed by medical experts
Whether the insurer accepts liability for your injuries
Whether we reach an agreed settlement with the insurer quickly
If we don’t reach a settlement with the insurer and need to litigate the matter, it can take longer than 18 months
