How long does it take to settle or go to trial?
The average time it takes for a personal injury attorney to get a case to go to trial is one to two years from the time the lawsuit is filed. However, the time it takes to reach a settlement varies greatly from one case to the next, even with the best auto accidebt attorney, given the unique facts of each case. Mostly, this is dependent on the injuries a person receives. Some cases are complete in 2-3 months, and others may take much longer depending on the circumstances.
