Every case is different, so timelines vary widely. A straightforward car accident claim with clear liability may settle within a few months. Cases involving more serious injuries, disputed liability, or multiple parties often take one to two years or longer, particularly if the case goes to trial. Workers’ compensation cases follow their own separate process governed by the SC Workers’ Compensation Commission and have different timelines from standard personal injury claims. At Stewart Law Offices, we always pursue the most efficient path to resolution, but we never sacrifice your right to full compensation in exchange for a fast settlement. We keep you informed every step of the way.
