How long does it take to Settle a Commercial Lawsuit

When people get injured in an auto accident, they consider a lot of things before they file a personal injury lawsuit in court. However, accidents caused by commercial vehicles are often handled differently than usual accidents. Due to the nature of commercial vehicles, these accidents turn out to be more serious and deadlier than other types of motor vehicles. In most of these cases, the fatigue of these commercial drivers is considered as the major contributing factor that leads to accidents.One of the major considerations for people, when they are filing a lawsuit for a commercial vehicle accident, is the time that will go into settling the case. In some of these cases, the negligence of the driver is clearly evident and these cases might get settled relatively quickly. However, in other cases, the accidents may need to be investigated properly before a decision can be passed and these cases would take longer to settle. There is no specific time period that can be given regarding how long a commercial vehicle accident lawsuit is going to take for settlement.Another reason why the trials for commercial vehicle accidents can take longer than usual is the difficulty in getting a sooner trial date for a sooner time. The priority in courts is given to criminal cases that take the most time of the court. This is the reason why civil cases take much longer to get settled in courts. Also, since these accidents cause serious injuries in most cases, the plaintiff is first required to fully recover from those injuries before getting into a trial case. If your hurry causes your injuries to worsen, you won’t be getting the settlement you actually deserve.

On average, usual commercial vehicle accident lawsuits take somewhere between 12 and 18 months for settlement. Irrespective of how long it is going to take, it is essential to have an attorney to handle your case in these cases since commercial vehicle owners won’t be too willing to pay the settlement amount. For many people, hiring a lawyer for that long duration is often troublesome since it burdens them financially. However, if you don’t get an attorney, you will be at the risk of your entire settlement sum so you should make the decision carefully.

Those who are going through personal injury lawsuits can also get additional funding in the form of lawsuit settlement loans from different funding companies offering these loans. These loans are provided for the duration the case is in the court, no matter how long it takes, and only need to be returned if you win the settlement. So, it might not be clear how long it will take to get your lawsuit settled in case of a commercial vehicle accident, but it is a given that you would need an attorney to handle this case for you.
