The answer to this question varies from case to case. It depends on the extent of your injuries, the complexity of the case, whether a settlement is an option, and whether liability is disputed. In a straightforward case, you may be able to reach a resolution in as little as six months. A more complex case may take two years or more to resolve. Your attorney will be able to give you a reasonable estimate of the case’s timeline once he or she has become familiar with the case details.
