How long does it take to settle a motor vehicle accident case in South Carolina?

Just like there is no average settlement amount, there is no average amount of time it takes to settle a car accident case in South Carolina. Often, settlement negotiations require patience. Insurance companies are reluctant to settle and frequently will only do so when it becomes apparent that the case is going to go to court and there is a chance that the company will lose the case. It is not uncommon for a settlement to be reached while the trial is taking place.
