How long will my Virginia personal injury case take?

This will depend upon whether the case settles or requires litigation. If the case will settle, you can expect that the lawyer will send a demand letter to the insurance company within 30-60 days after you have finished medical treatment. The insurance company should respond to the demand with an offer within 30-60 days, and negotiate and settle the case shortly thereafter.

The case does not settle. A lawsuit will need to be filed within 2 years, and a trial will likely occur within 18 months of the case being filed. Be aware that these are general guidelines. Cases can take longer or shorter depending on the circumstances.
