Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to know exactly how long your claim will take because every accident and every client’s health is different. It is always smart to contact an attorney as soon as possible after receiving initial medical treatment so they can start working on your case. The biggest factor in the lifespan of your case is usually the severity of your injuries and the treatment necessary to make you healthy again. Generally, if you have suffered minor injuries there is a better chance of your case resolving sooner, as opposed to someone with complicated injuries that could take years to resolve the case.
