If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident in Kentucky, you’re probably wondering how long it will take to resolve your claim. The truth is, the timeline depends largely on your medical recovery and the complexity of your case.

Start with Medical Care

The most important step is to seek medical treatment immediately after your accident. Your recovery timeline directly impacts your case because insurance adjusters and the courts want to know your highest level of medical improvement before a settlement can be finalized. This ensures your claim accounts for all necessary past and future medical care.

In Kentucky, you have up to four years to file a claim, but we never wait that long. For most motorcycle accident claims, you can expect the process to take 4 to 6 months once your medical treatment is underway. This allows enough time to document your injuries, complete therapy, and provide evidence for your claim.

Catastrophic Injuries Take Longer

If your injuries are catastrophic, your case will naturally take longer—often more than a year—because we must ensure that all medical care is complete and your maximum recovery is reached. In some situations, we can anticipate future costs to evaluate and potentially settle your claim sooner, but careful documentation of your medical needs is always critical.
