How long does it take for a compansation cliam take maximum?

Answer 1

1-2 years

Answer 2

Mine was a Road Traffic Accident claim and it took two years to settle (out of court).

Answer 3

How long is a  piece of string.When an offer is pushed through your letter box and you accept it then the cheque should arrive in a week.But people take a claim for granted and its just not that simple.

Answer 4

If it goes to a court battle it can take years and years.

A friend had his back broken in a RTA.  His insurance made interim payments but it was over 20 years before he finally got full compensation.

It kept getting adjourned every time his condition changed, with the defendant claiming that the amount should be restricted because of his limited life expectancy.

Initially they said he would be lucky to survive 2 years!! So much for doctors!

Answer 5

about 2 years,  if you can settle out of court

Answer 6

depend on the claim, it can take from 1yr to 10 yrs

Answer 7

Compansation cliam - I presume you mean a compensation claim? What was this in connection with - an injury claim on a personal accident policy? When it comes to claims, I'm afraid the claim takes as long as it takes. I know that's not very helpful but unfortunately, I'm afraid that's the case.
