Answer
Hi Linda,
This is something that you need to discuss with your attorney.  I don't think that either your attorney or myself can even attempt to make a guess as to the amount of time that Nationwide will need to thoroughly review the files of 7 injured people.

Your attorney can file a demand with a time limit of 15-30 days which will force the insurance company to respond within that time frame.
