If the lawyer and adjuster agree. . . the paperwork could be all settled in a week. If they don’t agree, it could go years.
it basically depends on how much crap the ins company people give to avoid settlement. mine took a little over three years and still isn’t totally settled. nor will it ever be because the company filed bankruptcy to avoid paying the largest part of the settlement
forever
Depending on the nature of your claim, it could be settled quickly or it could be a lengthy process. If your claim is well documented, valid, and not too costly, it will process more easily. If the insurance company views your claim as questionable, or overly expensive, it will investigate the validity of the claim. There is no way to know how long this will take because every claim is different. Best of luck.
My Uncle was an employee for the state(State Trooper). He has been fighting for a settlement for 4 years now.
How long the document-processing will take DEPENDS ON THE FOLLOWING:
1 – Whether the adjuster is caught up on his / her work load – may be a couple of weeks for the adjuster to respond.
2 – Whether the adjuster is overloaded with cases & falling behind – will take longer
3 – Whether the State Workers Comp Board Judge STILL has to approve the settlement – in which case you will need to add that timeframe onto the time that the adjuster takes.
4 – Whether your state has a “withdrawal” period. Example – in some states, such as New York, the Injured Worker still has 10 days in which to withdraw or change their mind.

There is no law that says the carrier must even respond to the
demand letter. If it’s not in their best interests…money… don’t
look for a response.
