First, remember that there are guarantees that you will recover compensation for your injuries. Hiring an experienced Philadelphia taxi accident attorney is the most reliable way to give yourself the best possible chance of recovering the compensation you need and deserve.
As for the timeline of a successful taxi cab crash claim, it can vary widely. We have represented clients in matters that lasted just a few months. We have also had cases that went to trial after more than a year.
Factors that influence the timeline for a Philadelphia taxi accident injury claim include:
- The amount of money at stake. Often, defense lawyers and insurance companies will fight harder over large claims than over small ones. More fighting leads to longer timelines, usually.
- The need for research and investigation. In some cases involving taxi crashes in Philadelphia, it can take a diligent, time-consuming investigation to figure out how an accident happened and who should have legal liability for it.
- The number of parties involved. It can take longer to get to a settlement or the end of a trial when more than two parties face off over a Philadelphia taxi accident claim.
- Your needs and challenges. The timeline for a claim can also depend on the pace of your recovery from your injuries, the certainty of your future financial needs, any life difficulties you confront while recovering, and the priorities you set for your attorney in terms of how willing you are to hold out for the best possible result.
As taxi accident lawyers, we understand that our clients would like to get paid as much money as possible as soon as possible. That is our goal, too. Still, oftentimes the duration of a case lies beyond any individual lawyer’s ability to control. So, be sure to talk to your Philadelphia taxi accident attorney as early as possible about your needs and priorities, so that your attorney can plot a legal strategy that serves your interests.
