This process helps ensure your claim reflects the true impact of the injury.
Our attorneys prepare and submit your claim to the appropriate insurance company or responsible party and handle all communications to protect your interests and avoid costly errors.
We pursue a fair settlement through negotiation whenever possible. If the opposing party refuses to offer appropriate compensation, we are prepared to take the case to court and advocate for you at trial.
The timeline for resolving a catastrophic injury claim in Houston and getting compensation varies depending on multiple factors. While we settle some claims within months, others may take several years to conclude. Here are the factors that influence the timeline:
Catastrophic injuries often require extensive medical treatment, multiple surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation. At Mostyn Law, we may wait until you reach maximum medical improvement before settling; doing this helps us understand the actual impact of your losses.
Rushing to settle before understanding the extent of your injuries could leave you financially vulnerable.
Complex cases involving catastrophic injuries require us to thoroughly investigate. Our team must obtain:
The process of gathering compelling evidence may cause delays in the settlement process.
You may experience delays in cases involving multiple defendants, such as truck accidents with several potentially liable parties. We may require additional time to investigate each party’s role and negotiate with multiple insurance companies.
We must also coordinate between various insurers and their legal teams, which can extend the timeline.
Insurance companies typically make low initial settlement offers. Our firm could negotiate back and forth, presenting evidence and countering low offers. The settlement process may take months, particularly when dealing with catastrophic injuries that warrant substantial compensation.
If settlement negotiations fail, litigation becomes necessary. Court schedules, discovery processes, motions, and trial preparation could extend the timeline. Cases that go to trial may take two to four years or longer from the initial filing.
The willingness of defendants and their insurers to negotiate fairly affects the timeline. Uncooperative parties who delay responses or dispute liability may prolong the settlement process.
You have the legal right to pursue compensation after suffering a catastrophic injury caused by someone else’s negligence. However, you may face insurers who could reject or delay your injury claim.
