Each medical malpractice case is unique, and there is no set timeline for how long a lawsuit will take to reach a settlement or go to trial.
The average length of a medical malpractice claim in Indiana can stretch anywhere from a few months to a few years, with most cases spanning two to three years.
In general, if both parties can come to an agreement, the lawsuit will fall on the shorter timeline. If they cannot agree, the case will go to trial, in which case it takes a longer amount of time.
