Many people hope for a quick resolution so they can move on. A case managed by a personal injury lawyer may settle in a few months if liability is clear, your medical treatment finishes quickly, and the insurer deals fairly.
Longer timelines develop when injuries take time to reach maximum medical improvement, when future care remains uncertain, or when the insurance company disputes liability or the extent of losses. The Sumner Law Group, LLC, will keep you informed about each step, explain delays, and help you weigh the pros and cons of waiting for a better offer versus filing suit in Missouri courts.
