The length of time it takes to resolve a truck accident case varies greatly depending on a number of factors, including but not limited to the following:
- Your physical and emotional recovery - we typically advise to wait until your medical treatment is complete or stabilized until seeking compensation as once you settle your case, you are typically prohibited from seeking additional compensation later down the line outside of a select few circumstances
- Length and complexity of the investigation – truck crashes often require substantial investigation into numerous potential liable parties
- Whether a lawsuit has to be filed – while we are able to settle some truck accident cases without needing to file a lawsuit, a vast majority of truck accidents in Sarasota and throughout Florida require lawsuits to recover the total value of your case. If we do not have to file a lawsuit, we may be able to resolve your case within a couple of months. If a lawsuit is required, as it typically is for truck accidents, resolving your case may take a couple of years
