Personal Injury Lawsuit Timeline: What to Expect

The timeline of your Ontario personal injury lawsuit will vary based on several factors, some of which you and your lawyer can control. However, other factors are controlled by the insurance company, making it difficult to predict the exact timeline. However, meeting with a knowledgeable Ontario injury lawyer can give you a better idea of your case’s general timeline.

Here are a few things to keep in mind regarding the timeline and statute of limitations of a personal injury lawsuit in California:

• There is a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases in California.
• Once the lawsuit is filed, the defendant will be served within 30-60 days and have 3-45 days to file a response (so, prepare for about three months of waiting before the lawsuit will get underway).
• Personal injury claims often go to mediation. This can take nine to 19 months after your accident, on average.

An injury victim deserves all the help they can get. Our legal team is dedicated to ensuring you receive compensation for medical bills, punitive damages, and more.

As you may have already realized, you will have many different options when it comes to selecting an Ontario personal injury lawyer.

To ensure you are working with someone who understands the complex legal system and is committed to the outcome of your case and your well-being, consider the following questions before hiring a lawyer:

Asking these questions will give you a better idea of what to expect with your legal representation.
