How long does it take for a Personal Injury case to resolve?

At The Elsner Law Firm, we understand that each personal injury case is as unique as the individuals we represent. Just as every person has their own story, so does every journey towards justice and compensation. It’s natural to wonder how long it will take to reach the conclusion of your case and receive the compensation you so rightly deserve. We’re here to guide you through this process with empathy, clarity, and dedicated support.

The Journey of Your Case: From Start to Settlement

The Two Phases of Resolution

Your personal injury claim unfolds in two main stages. The first involves the vehicle, typically resolved swiftly, and the second, more complex stage, concerns your injuries. The path to resolution can span from a few months to several years, much of this time dictated by the nature and extent of your injuries. We have to wait until you’re fully healed, or have reached a state of maximum medical improvement, before settling your case.

From Treatment to Demand Package

After your treatments conclude, our efforts shift towards preparing your demand package—a comprehensive collection of your medical records and other essential documents needed to accurately represent your case. The length of your treatment can influence the timeline here, as more extensive treatments mean more documentation for us to review and incorporate into your demand.

Negotiation and Beyond

Once we’ve dispatched your demand package, negotiations begin. The duration of negotiations can also vary (weeks up to months), heavily influenced by the complexity of your medical treatments and documentation involved. Should these negotiations succeed, we will move to settle your case. However, if agreement remains elusive, we’re prepared to advance to start a lawsuit extending the timeline (a year or more) but steadfast in our pursuit of justice.

Our Promise to You

While we can’t control time, what we can pledge is our unwavering commitment to moving you closer to the fair compensation and peace of mind you deserve with every step we take. Your story matters deeply to us, and we honor it with our comprehensive care, expertise, and heartfelt dedication.

You’re Not Alone

Facing this journey may seem daunting, but with The Elsner Law Firm by your side, you need not walk it alone. We stand with you as more than just your legal representation—we’re your allies, your supporters, and your steadfast companions, guiding you each step of the way.
