Litigation Process

The first step is usually filing a complaint or petition with the court, which outlines your allegations and the basis for your claim against the defendant.

The duration can vary widely depending on factors like case complexity, court schedules, and whether it goes to trial. Generally, it can take anywhere from several months to a few years.

Not necessarily. Many personal injury cases are settled out of court through negotiations or mediation. However, if an agreement cannot be reached, going to trial may be necessary.
