This episode outlines the reasons behind settlement delays and aims to equip listeners with knowledge to better understand the legal and procedural roadblocks they might face.

In this episode, we explore the multifaceted reasons why car accident settlements can be prolonged. Factors such as disputes over liability, the severity of injuries, and the involvement of multiple parties can complicate and extend the settlement timeline. Additionally, we discuss how New York’s no-fault insurance system, which requires each driver’s insurance to cover their own medical expenses regardless of fault, impacts the settlement process—especially when injuries meet the “serious injury” threshold necessary for pursuing additional compensation.

Listeners will gain insights into the typical steps involved in the settlement process, from filing a claim and undergoing insurance evaluations to engaging in negotiations and, if necessary, litigation. We also address common tactics used by insurance companies that may cause delays and emphasize the importance of timely medical documentation and legal representation to expedite claims.
