How Long Does It Take to Resolve a Wrongful Death Case?

One of the questions we are always asked is, how long is it going to take for my case to get resolved?

The answer depends on several factors, including the jurisdiction you are in, the damages you are claiming, the complexity of the case, and how fast the court moves.

Because of the amount of money involved in a wrongful death case, these cases tend to take longer than other types of cases that do not involve the same level of damages.

A typical wrongful death case, from the time it is filed, can take anywhere from 18 months to two years or even three years.

It ultimately depends on the court’s schedule and how quickly a trial date can be obtained.
