How Long Personal Injury Cases Take

Personal injury cases vary in length depending on the complexity and willingness of the parties to settle. Here’s what to expect.

Factors That Affect the Timeline

  • Severity of injuries
  • Length of medical treatment
  • Insurance response times
  • Court schedules if a lawsuit is filed

Average Timeframes

Simple cases may settle in a few months. Complex claims or lawsuits can take 1 to 2 years or longer.

Patience Pays Off

Quick settlements are often lower. Waiting for full treatment and building a strong case can increase compensation.

Your lawyer can guide the process and keep your claim moving forward.
