How Long Does A Car Insurance Company Have To Settle A Claim? 
The claims settlement process can vary depending upon the extent and severity of the loss . For example , a fairly simple collision loss with no other property damage or bodily injury can usually be settled within anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks depending upon the schedule of the body shop and availability of parts . If additional property damage is involved either with another car or a building or the like , it could take a bit longer and certainly if there is bodily injury that results in a law suit , then those settlements can take upwards of a few years .
