It&#8217;s kind of like the old adage &#8220;<em>how long is a piece of string<\/em>&#8221; (twice the length from the middle if you really want to solve that one).<\/p>\n<p>It can all depend on a <strong>number of factors<\/strong>, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Whether the <strong>Defendant admits liability<\/strong> for your case early \u2013 if they try and defend it, it could take a while to build a case to fight them for a successful outcome.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>severity of your injuries<\/strong> \u2013 generally speaking, the more you suffer, the more we get for you, which means more medical evidence and possibly more treatment. It\u2019s normally best to wait until you are fully healed before making any settlement negotiations with the other side, so if you are badly hurt, this could take a while.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>service of your solicitors<\/strong> \u2013 some lawyers probably care little about providing a fast service \u2013 so make sure you instruct a law firm like us who aim to update you regularly and actually press the opponent for results and decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So if you are facing somewhat of a wait before you can settle your claim, your lawyer should look to get you an <strong>interim payment<\/strong> if it is suitable.<\/p>\n<p>This can normally only be achieved if the other side has accepted liability, and the other side do not have to pay it \u2013 but if you are suffering financially but you are unable to conclude your claim, your lawyer can request that the other side provides a part payment now that is usually based on your losses to date.<\/p>\n<p>This can be a short term solution to help you financially. The amount you receive will then normally be deducted at the end of the claim because what you are receiving is part of the future settlement at an early time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Give us a call on our free claims helpline on 0800 634 75 75 today for more information<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well to be honest, this is hard to answer.
