What is the time frame involved before receiving a recovery?
The time frame will vary for different cases, depending on whether the case can be settled out of court through negotiation, mediation or arbitration or whether a long protracted trial will be necessary to arrive at resolution. If the case goes to trial, a trial date assignment is based on openings in the court’s docket and attorneys’ availability as well as the order in which our trial date request was entered in comparison to the number of cases that are waiting to be assigned trial dates. Whether either side has entered an appeal after judgment may also affect the time frame of receiving a recovery. Injury cases are often not “ripe” to resolve until the full effects of any residual injury are known and determined.
