The duration of time it takes to resolve an automobile accident in California might vary greatly depending on the case’s complexity.Generally, if both parties can agree on a settlement amount without involving an insurance company or court proceedings, the process may be completed relatively quickly. Nevertheless, if the parties dispute or an insurance company is involved, it may take longer for a settlement to be achieved. A resolution might take months or even years in some cases.
