Every case is unique and comes with a different set of circumstances. The timeline of a personal injury case is highly variable. It can take a lawyer several months to investigate a case, which includes the review of paperwork, collecting evidence, deposition, and other tasks. If the party is not willing to cooperate, it can further delay the progress of the case. The entire process can take longer than a year if the case is especially complex.
