How long does it take to get my case settled?
There is no hard or fast timeline in getting a case settled. It depends on a number of factors, not the least of which is how serious your injuries are, whether or not the attorney is able to get all the information they need to prove negligence of the other party, determining liability for the accident and the amount of and type of damage incurred as a result of the accident.
The process to mounting a solid case to obtain compensation involves many aspects, such as evidence gathering, collecting testimonies, interviewing eyewitnesses, obtaining police reports or other reports relevant to the accident, and sorting out whose insurance is in play. In other words, it takes time to build a good case that will fight for compensation for your injuries.
