How long will my slip and fall case take? 

It depends on the severity of your injuries and the circumstances surrounding your accident. Claims can be resolved relatively quickly if the person or business that acted negligently agrees to pay immediately. Still, you need to understand the severity of your injuries and the long-term impact before you know what fair compensation should be, and that can take time.

If the at-fault party refuses to offer a fair settlement or if they try to claim that your injuries were caused by your own negligence, your attorney will likely need to file a lawsuit to seek damages in court. The process of negotiating a settlement can continue even after a lawsuit has been filed, so your lawyer will likely keep communication open with the at-fault party’s representatives.

Ultimately, the case might end up going to trial, which can take some time to resolve. Be sure to discuss the specifics of your case with your attorney to better understand the anticipated timeline for resolution.
