Carbone Lawyers has been representing clients for over 30 years and has a team of knowledgeable and experienced personal injury experts. Below are the factors that can impact how long a personal injury claim takes.
Factors That Impact How Long A Personal Injury Lawsuit Takes
How long a personal injury claim takes can be impacted by the following factors:
- The type of injury you have and how serious it is
- What compensation you are seeking
- How difficult or easy it is to establish evidence and/or proof to support your claim
- Whether further assessment of the degree of impairment caused as a result of the injury is required and the specific assessment process taken (or whether the requirement for an assessment of the degree of impairment can be bypassed)
- Whether the other party accepts the assessment or refers a medical question about the assessment to a medical panel for determination (and if the panel can determine the medical question)
- If the court deems that matters regarding a significant injury are urgent because of the imminent death of the plaintiff
There may be other factors that can have an impact on how long a personal injury lawsuit takes too. Our team is meticulous when it comes to leaving no stone unturned to ensure a smooth and timely process.
