The law does not require you to wait a certain amount of time before getting a limited tort settlement. That said, settlements often take same time to negotiate.
Factors Relevant to the Timing of Your Limited Tort Settlement
If you have limited tort coverage, the timing of your potential settlement may be partly dependent on:
When you contacted a limited tort lawyer. The sooner you contact a limited tort attorney, the sooner your lawyer can get to work on your settlement.
Which lawyer you choose. Some attorneys have more experience with limited tort than others and have different settlement styles than others.
How complicated your case is and whether you are claiming damages pursuant to a limited tort exception. Complicated cases, such as when you seek pain and suffering damages pursuant to a limited tort exception, may take longer to settle than other limited tort cases.
