Almost never. First offers from insurance companies are typically 25–50% below the claim’s actual value. Counter with documented damages and a demand letter.
How long does a car accident claim take?
Minor claims settle in 1–3 months. Claims involving ongoing treatment or litigation can take 1–3 years.
