Simple claims with clear liability can settle in months. Serious injuries, disputed fault, or litigation can take a year or more.
It Depends on the Case
Why Patience Pays
Settling before your medical condition stabilizes can leave money on the table. Sometimes waiting yields a far better result.
Deadlines Still Apply
However long negotiations take, Wisconsin's personal injury statute of limitations is generally three years from the date of injury (Wis. Stat. § 893.54). The lawsuit must be filed within that window to preserve your rights.
