How long after the deposition hearing do I have to wait for a settlement?

Remember that the longer the ins. co. uses your money for investments, the better for them. Your lawyer, on the other hand, should be pushing now for settlement, perhaps through a mediation. Ask your lawyer what he is doing to move matters along.

There are a variety of factors that go into when a case can resolve. Within a couple months after a deposition, assuming the insurance company has everything they need to evaluate, your case could be ripe to resolve. However, both sides may not agree on a settlement figure, which will stall the case, or even cause the need to go to trial.
