What Is the Typical Timeline for Cases Like Mine?
The timeline for a personal injury case will vary for each client. Certain factors will affect the duration of the lawsuit, including how complex it is, the extent of bodily harm you incurred, and whether the insurance company is willing to cooperate. Some cases may settle within a few months, particularly if liability is clear and your medical treatment is complete. Other claims, involving catastrophic injury or ongoing care, could take a year or longer to settle.
How Often Do Your Cases Go to Trial Versus Settle Out of Court?
Most cases settle out of court through negotiations. Settlements are known to be faster and less expensive, allowing clients to recover compensation sooner. But, if the insurer is not agreeing to a reasonable amount or disputes liability, we are fully equipped to take the case to trial.
