Q: Why is it taking so long for my claim to settle? Wreck was 2/26/24, I have sent all bills, paid and unpaid.
I have sent bills paid and unpaid, doctors notes from er visit and doctors note and recommendations for my future surgery on my nose. The at fault driver and women she hit have already had settled for their totaled vehicles and bought replacements. I was the one who was injured the worst from the wreck and I have not heard even a offer to settle my claim.
A: A South Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Three months is not a long time for a bodily injury claim to settle. Some could go on for years. One possibility is that if you are still treating, the insurance carrier wants to await conclusion of your treatment. Another is that is the policy limits are low, the carrier's liability examiner may have finished off the smaller claim to better gauge the amount remaining in the policy for your claim. These are just a couple of possibilities. There could be others. Good luck
