Personal injury proceedings can last from a few months to over a year. The amount of time it takes to resolve your case will depend on many factors such as:
- Whether there’s a disagreement regarding the cause of the accident or the value of your claim;
- The amount of compensation you’re seeking;
- Whether you’ve given the insurance company a reason to dispute your claim by posting sensitive information about your injuries or case online or by providing a recorded statement;
- The amount of time it takes for you to reach maximum medical improvement;
- The strength of the available evidence to support your claim; and
- Whether a settlement can be reached or your case proceeds to alternative dispute resolution or all the way to trial.
