The length of time it takes to resolve a case depends on how complex the case is, the behavior of the other person or entity, and the gravity of the injuries. We might be able to get a person compensation within months if the person has minor injuries. It might take months or possibly years to resolve a case that involves catastrophic injuries or death. Patience is key. Do not expect to make a personal injury claim and then have a check in your pocket immediately. These things take time, and faster is not always better. In fact, it is important to remember to always think twice about any lawyer who boasts that he or she will resolve your case quickly. While it may sound appealing at first, what this usually means is that they will take the first offer that the insurance company or other part puts on the table. Much of the time, the first or second offer will not be the fairest. These types of lawyers make their money by high turnover, and they don’t put much effort into their cases.

“Resolving” your case could take the form of settling out of court or, when necessary, taking your case to trial. Few personal injury cases go to trial because settling typically has advantages for all persons or entities involved. Going to trial involves a lot of time and expenses, and possibly the biggest drawback is that there is no guarantee that you will recover anything at all.

Whether your case takes weeks or years, the personal injury attorneys of Altman & Altman LLP will be fighting for you from start to finish.
