How long will my Personal Injury case last, from beginning to end?
The length of the case can vary greatly based on a number of factors including the nature and extent of your injuries and required medical treatment, the nature and circumstances of your case, the number of parties involved, the court the case is filed in, the number of judges available to hear cases, motion practice and a multitude of other factors. However, generally speaking a personal injury case can take anywhere from 6 months to four years to resolve. Often Keefe Bartels Clark may attempt to settle your case before filing suit where feasible. This usually comes after an average of 4-6 months of regularly-scheduled medical treatment, which will end when the Doctor releases you at, Maximum Medical Improvement (“MMI”).
