Debunking the Delay Myth
The holidays bring joy, festivities, and time spent with loved ones. However, they can also increase traffic, travel stress, and, unfortunately, a higher likelihood of car accidents.
Many accident victims hesitate to pursue their personal injury claims during the holiday season, assuming the legal process will be slower because of the time of year. But is that true?
At Hamblen Injury Law, we’re here to debunk the myth that car accident settlements take longer during the holidays and to show you how we work to expedite cases year-round.
The Holiday Myth: Why People Think Settlements Are Slower
It’s a common misconception that legal processes halt during the holidays. This belief often stems from the assumption that courts, insurance companies, and law firms operate on reduced schedules or delay processing claims until the new year. While it’s true that some businesses may experience slower workflows during the holidays, this doesn’t mean your personal injury case must be delayed.
In reality, the holidays can be an opportune time to address your personal injury claim. Insurance adjusters, attorneys, and courts often aim to close out cases before year-end, creating a sense of urgency to resolve pending matters. At Hamblen Injury Law, we leverage this momentum to ensure your case moves forward as efficiently as possible.

1. Proactive Case Management
Our team takes a proactive approach to personal injury lawsuits, ensuring that every step of the claims process is handled without unnecessary delays. From gathering evidence to negotiating with insurance companies, we stay ahead of deadlines to keep your case on track.
2. Communication with Insurance Companies
Insurance adjusters often work on quotas or year-end goals, making them more inclined to settle claims promptly during the holidays. Our experienced personal injury attorneys know how to negotiate effectively to secure fair settlements without prolonged negotiations.
3. Strategic Scheduling
While courts may operate on limited schedules during the holidays, many hearings and filings can still proceed. Our team works closely with the courts to schedule hearings and move your case forward, even during this busy season.
A Holiday Case Resolved Quickly
Handling a Holiday Rear-End Collision Last December, one of our clients, Maria was involved in a rear-end collision while driving home from a holiday gathering.

Within weeks, our team gathered all necessary evidence, including police reports, medical records, and witness statements. We negotiated directly with the at-fault driver’s insurance company and secured a fair settlement before the end of the year. Maria was able to cover her medical bills and vehicle repairs without the stress of prolonged delays.
Addressing Common Concerns About Holiday Car Accident Settlements
Concern 1: Limited Court Availability
While courts may have fewer hearings during the holidays, this doesn’t mean cases are paused. Filing deadlines, motions, and other legal actions can continue, ensuring your case progresses.
Concern 2: Insurance Companies Taking Time Off
Insurance companies operate year-round, and many adjusters work to close cases by year-end. This creates opportunities for quicker settlements, especially with skilled legal representation.
Concern 3: Lawyers Being Unavailable
