Every personal injury claim is unique, therefore, it can be difficult to accurately estimate the length of time it will take to settle. That being said, a relatively simple personal injury suit could settle within weeks. This is true only if you have fully recovered, and liability is not in dispute. More complex personal injury claims can reasonably take between one and three years to settle.  Your personal injury attorney can help you understand the many factors at play that can affect the timeline to settlement in your case.
