To begin, you should always keep in mind that there is no guarantee of payment for your injuries. Hiring an experienced Philadelphia motorcycle crash lawyer gives you the best chance, however, of achieving a favorable result.
The timeline for resolving a legal claim and getting money for motorcycle accident injuries depends on lots of factors, only some of which lie within your or your lawyer’s ability to control. We have represented clients in Philadelphia motorcycle accident injury cases that concluded in just a few months, and in others that have taken more than a year.
Some of the factors that influence that timeline include:
- How soon after an accident you seek legal advice;
- The amount of money at stake;
- The degree of dispute over legal and factual issues;
- The number of parties with legal interests in your claim; and
- The willingness of the parties to negotiate a settlement.
You can speed things along principally by hiring a lawyer with experience representing motorcycle crash victims like you as soon as possible, and taking care of yourself by seeking and following medical advice.
