3 Key Stages in a Personal Injury Case
The duration of a personal injury case can vary significantly, typically ranging from 12 to 48 months. Here’s what you can expect at each stage:
- Initial Consultation and Case Building: We start by gathering all pertinent information, evidence, and documentation to build a robust case.
- Medical Treatment and Recovery Time: Recovery time is crucial and can influence the timeline. We ensure you receive the necessary medical care and rehabilitation.
- Negotiation and Litigation: This phase may involve back-and-forth negotiations with insurance companies or the at-fault party’s representatives, and, if necessary, bringing the case to court.
Factors Affecting Your Case Duration
Several factors can affect how long it takes to settle your case:
- Complexity of the Injury: Severe injuries may require prolonged treatment and a comprehensive evaluation to assess long-term impacts.
- Liability Disputes: If liability is contested, additional investigation and possibly a trial may be necessary.
- Insurance Company Responses: Delays can occur based on how quickly insurance companies respond and are willing to negotiate settlements.
