How Long Will My Personal Injury Lawsuit Take?

Getting hurt is stressful enough. Here's what to expect about your case timeline.

It Starts With Consulting an Attorney

An experienced lawyer at Morgan, Collins, Yeast & Salyer gives you the best shot at a fair outcome and can explain the process clearly. 01.

Investigation & Evidence Gathering

This is the groundwork! Your lawyer builds your case, examining medical records, police reports, etc. 02.

Demand & Negotiation

Your lawyer seeks compensation from the responsible party's insurance – this can lead to a quick settlement...or not. 03.

Filing a Lawsuit (If Necessary)

If negotiations fail, going to court is the next step. This extends the timeline significantly. 04.

It's NOT One-Size-Fits-All

Every case is unique. Injury severity, case complexity, and even court schedules impact how long it takes. 05.
