litigate a nursing home case?
There are many variables that make this a difficult question to answer. Generally speaking, once a complaint is filed, a nursing home case will be litigated for two to three years. After it is litigated the case is then scheduled for trial. However, because of scheduling conflicts and court docket limitations, it is not unusual in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or California to wait another year before going to trial. Once at trial, a nursing home case usually takes about two weeks.
