Question:

How long does it take to settle a wrongful death claim?

Answer:

The time that it takes to resolve a wrongful death action can depend on a number of factors. Of course, it depends on, first and foremost, how willing the insurance carrier is to be reasonable. If they’re not reasonable, at Christian & Christian, we try cases and will take your case all the way to trial if necessary. The length of time that it takes can vary greatly depending on the other side, how they’re going to respond to the case, and how reasonable they are.
