The answer varies. It varies by what your injuries are and how quickly you heal. And it varies by what happens with the insurance company and whether or not they’re willing to make a reasonable offer to get the case settled or if litigation is required. It could be as short as a few weeks or months. And it could be as long as several years.

Rochester, MN personal injury lawyer Paul Dahlberg discusses why there is so much variance in the length of personal injury lawsuits. He explains that the timeline for resolving a personal injury case is dependent on several factors. The duration may differ based on the nature and severity of your injuries, the rate of your recovery, and the actions taken by the insurance company involved. If the insurance company is willing to offer a fair settlement, the process could conclude within a few weeks or months. However, if litigation becomes necessary, it can extend the timeline to several years. The specific circumstances of each case contribute to the varying duration of resolution.
