Today, I want to break down what happens after you sign up with us and how long it typically takes for cases to be settled after signing. Let's kick things off by really digging into your case.
Gathering Case Details
Once it has started, our team at The Button Law Firm begins gathering all the details related to the case. We're talking about meticulous investigations and making sure we've got all our ducks in a row – it's like building the ultimate case puzzle.
Pre-litigation Negotiations
Now, once we've got the information we need, it's time for the negotiation phase. This typically starts with our team sending the opposing party and their insurance company a demand, which is a document that states the facts of the case and gives them an opportunity to open the lines of communication.
Picture us at the negotiation table, telling your story, presenting the evidence, and working to ensure the party who has wronged you is being held accountable. This part can take some time, as it involves gathering all the records, drafting the best demand letter, and back-and-forth negotiations with the insurance company. However, no matter how long it takes, we’re committed to getting you and your family the recovery you deserve.
This part of the process typically happens in the pre-litigation phase, which means that a lawsuit has not been filed with the court. Sometimes, negotiations in the pre-litigation phase doesn’t produce the results we’re looking for. If we cannot reach a fair agreement with the insurance company, our team will always be ready to move to the next step and file a lawsuit.
Filing a Lawsuit
Lawsuit timelines can look different for each and every case. It can depend on the type of case – for example, if our team is representing you in a daycare injury case or a car wreck case, each case may take a different amount of time. Other factors can include schedules, how complicated your case is, the specific court your case is filed in, and whether the other side is being cooperative or not.
Now, every case has its own rhythm – some wrap up quicker, while others, especially the complex and catastrophic ones, might take a bit more time. Though it can be difficult to know exactly how long a case may take to settle, you can know that The Button Law Firm’s team is working every day to ensure your case is moving forward.
