I was hit as a pedestrian while waiting for a bus on July 22nd 2009 in Huntington Beach, California. The car that hit me has State Farm which has a max of 100,000 dollar which I should get all of it. I have a lawyer working on it. How long do these cases normally last until I see any money.
 
Could take 3 months....could take 5 years.....

I was test riding a customer's motorcycle, stopped at a red light.....was rear ended by a woman, the impact stood the bike straight up and slung me back into her windshield while still on the bike, the front end of the bike was driven back down a catpulted me forward into the back of the van in front of me......I amxed out her $50k in coverage in just my medical bills alone....this accident caused me to lose 13 months in salary....around $45k....it took 4 years for my lawyer to settle the case....since she was 64 and retired on a fixed income and had very little in assets.....we settled for $18k cash (after my lawyer's fees...I got $12k), instead of drawing it out any longer and possibly not getting anything.......

Don't COUNT on it going quickly or EXPECT to get everything you think you will!!!!!
