Length Of A Trucking Accident Case

There’s no weighth to tell you with any exactness how long an 18-wheeler big rig trucking wreck case is going to last. It totally depends on judge, and ExPro witnesses, and the litigation process, on what state you’re in, and whether it’s state or federal court. But in general a case – if suit is filed and there’s going to be litigation and then a trial – it is going to be likely a two to three-year ordeal. And I’m factoring in that there could be an appeal. Be very careful about listening to some lawyer who says, “I’m going to be able to do your case in just a few months.” That is generally not a true statement. For these cases to be handled correctly it takes time and if they get in to litigation it is definitely going to take usually a two or three-year period.
