How long will my case take?
This is
something that you and your attorney may have little control
over. If you want to settle early but the defendant or his
insurance company won’t offer a settlement then you have no
choice but to file a lawsuit and push it to trial. The average
time from beginning to end varies around Florida depending on
how many judges there are in your city and how crowded the court
docket is. It usually ranges from 1 to 4 years. Florida has a
special law stating judges may advance the case of a party who
is over the age of sixty-five taking into consideration their
age and their medical condition.
No attorney can promise you how long your specific case will
take because he cannot predict how the defendants will respond
or whether there will be one or more appeals. Sometimes to do it
right takes longer that we would like. At McMillen Law Firm our
pledge to you is to pursue your case diligently but also to be
thorough so that we maximize your chance for an outcome you will
be pleased with.
