The Importance of the Legal Process
How long does it take Gateway Insurance Company insurance to pay a truck accident claim? What determines the amount of time it takes for Gateway Insurance Company to pay on an 18 wheeler accident case? The average amount of time it takes for Gateway Insurance Company to compensate you for a truck accident case is dependent on the details of your claim and the legal process. Consider the following steps of the legal process:
- Your attorney evaluates your truck accident and gathers all the information that is pertinent to your claim. Your attorney will also collect important pieces of evidence. Your attorney will gather information regarding the income you lost, your medical expenses, and many other key elements of your claim.
- Your attorney will need to create a demand for settlement (a demand package) using all the details and supporting evidence pertaining to your claim. Your truck accident lawyer will send the demand package to Gateway Insurance Company for review. Depending on both the competency of your attorney and the complexity of your claim, this step could take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
- Gateway Insurance Company, upon receiving the demand package, will likely launch an investigation to either corroborate or debunk the claim. Usually, investigations into truck accident claims could last about 30 days (one month).
- Gateway Insurance Company, after completing the investigation, will likely contact your attorney with a response to the demand for settlement. If the insurance company makes a settlement offer, it will likely be an unreasonable offer (the majority of preliminary settlement offers are ridiculously low). Your attorney will need to respond to the offer with a counteroffer. Negotiations will continue until the parties can agree to a settlement offer. Depending on the details of your claim, negotiating a fair settlement could take up to a few months.
- Gateway Insurance Company will require you (the claimant) to sign a settlement release document after all parties agree on a settlement offer. The document that you will be required to sign relinquishes the insurance company’s liability for the harm that you suffered in exchange for a settlement. The insurance company will not send the settlement check until the release document has been signed and returned. In general, it could take up to 6 weeks for the insurance company to send the settlement check after receiving a signed release form.
- Your truck accident lawyer will receive the settlement check. The attorney will account for all legal expenses and/or liens and make the appropriate deductions. It could be an additional 2 weeks before you have access to the remaining portion of the settlement check.
If the steps listed above do not go smoothly (i.e. there is a complication in any of the steps that makes the step take longer to complete), your case will take longer to reach a settlement and close. In addition to the steps above, the amount of time it takes Gateway Insurance Company insurance to settle a truck accident case could also be affected by other details of your claim such as the damages you are pursuing in the claim, the injuries that you suffered, and how your injuries have affected the different aspect of your life. If you were rear ended by a truck and would like to learn more about the factors that could affect how long a truck accident lawsuit takes, do not hesitate to contact our law firm at your earliest convenience. Our experienced truck accident lawyers will provide you with the information that you need to have a better understanding of how long it could take to settle your claim after an accident with an 18 wheeler.
The Average Time to Reach a Settlement
How long do truck accident cases with Gateway Insurance Company insurance take to settle? As mentioned above, how long it takes Gateway Insurance Company to pay on a truck accident case lawsuit depends on the specific details of your claim. Often, truck accident claims can settle in 12 to 18 months. Frequently, truck accident claims settle within 2 years. Since most truck accident claims have some sort of complication or delay during the legal process, they could take longer than 18 months but less than 2 years. There are many claims that encounter extensive difficulties and delays; these claims could take more than 2 years to reach a settlement, but that only occurs rarely. On the contrary, there are also some truck accident claims that could reach a settlement in less than one year. Because the average time it takes Gateway Insurance Company to settle a truck accident lawsuit will vary, we recommend that all claimants are prepared to wait 2 years for a settlement even if it can occur sooner.
