Every client typically asks this question at the beginning of their case. It is a very important question. Unfortunately, the answer is always “it depends.” Every single case is different. No two cases will resolve in the same amount of time. There are many factors that go into each case which will help determine how quickly it will get resolved.

Some cases may resolve within just a few short months. For example, let’s say that you get into a bad auto accident and there is only a $10,000.00 bodily injury policy from the at-fault party and there is no other insurance to pursue. That is a case that should resolve very quickly, depending on the injuries and property damage involved.

I can always give an average time frame for a case. But, that may not apply to your specific case. For instance, if a lawsuit is not required, you can typically expect the case to resolve in under a year. Again, some cases do not fall into that category. For instance, let’s say that you get into an auto accident and there is a large bodily injury policy or a uninsured/under-insured motorist policy involved. Let’s further say that you are having ongoing treatment, including pain management and eventually a surgery. It MAY be in your best interest to wait until after the surgery is completed and recovery is done before trying to resolve the claim.

What you should be most concerned about is that the attorney you hire is pursuing the case diligently to get it resolved as quickly as possible so that you may move on with your life.
