How long does a personal injury lawsuit usually take?

Timelines vary widely depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Some cases resolve in a matter of months. Others, especially those involving catastrophic injuries or multiple liable parties, can take a year or longer.

A few factors that tend to affect timing:

  • How long it takes to reach maximum medical improvement, since settling too early can undervalue your claim
  • Whether the at-fault party disputes liability
  • How cooperative the insurance company is during negotiations
  • Whether the case needs to go to trial

We understand that waiting is difficult, especially while dealing with medical bills and recovery. Our approach is to move as efficiently as possible without sacrificing the value of your claim. Rushing a settlement before your damages are fully understood rarely serves your best interests.
