The timeframe of the lawsuit primarily hinges on whether it proceeds to trial. Generally, most cases are resolved during the discovery phase, which commonly lasts one to two years. This phase involves gathering tangible evidence, conducting interrogatories, and taking depositions.
In the event that the case progresses through depositions without reaching a settlement, there is a possibility of resolving it prior to trial through a settlement conference.
Engaging in trials and appeals can extend the duration of the lawsuit by several years, but the majority of cases are settled before reaching trial.
