  1. This depends on the situation, the company and the coverages.  Is this an accident that is your fault?  Or another drivers fault?  Is the accident covered only under your policy or theirs?  Or both?  If you are dealing with someone Else's insurance company, you will have to wait until they COMPLETE their investigation, as well as have someone look at the vehicle.

    If you are dealing with your own insurance company, they may not have to investigate as much since you are telling them the accident was your fault.

    In theory, provided this is a cut and dry type of accident (i.e. you were rear ended when you were at a stoplight) and there is no question of fault, and someone gets out quickly to assess the damage of your car, then it shouldn't generally take more than a month.  If there is anything wrong with the claim (i.e. questions about fault, they have trouble getting out to view your car for damage, there was previous damage to your car) then it could take much longer.  Get your insurance agent involved and they can help to speed along the process.

    Good luck to you!
