If you've been injured in an accident, you're probably wondering: "How long will my case take?" The answer depends on several key factors, but here's what most Pennsylvania clients can expect:
🚗 QUICK SETTLEMENTS (3-6 months):
Minor injuries like sprains or cuts
Clear liability (other driver clearly at fault)
Minimal medical treatment required
Cooperative insurance companies
⚖️ STANDARD CASES (6-18 months):
Moderate injuries requiring ongoing treatment
Some disputed liability issues
Multiple parties involved
Need time to reach maximum medical improvement
🏥 COMPLEX CASES (1-3+ years):
Severe or permanent injuries
Disputed fault or complicated liability
Medical malpractice claims
Cases requiring expert testimony
Multiple defendants involved
Key factors affecting your timeline:
✓ Severity and extent of your injuries
✓ Time needed for complete medical recovery
✓ Strength of evidence and liability issues
✓ Insurance company cooperation level
✓ Whether court litigation becomes necessary
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Pennsylvania has a 2-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, so don't wait to seek legal help.
Every case is unique, and we work diligently to resolve yours as quickly as possible while ensuring maximum compensation. Don't let insurance companies pressure you into a quick, inadequate settlement.
