If you’ve suffered a personal injury and your claim requires filing a lawsuit, you deserve a legal team that will fight tirelessly to get you the justice and compensation you deserve. At Herrman and Herrman, we understand that litigation can be overwhelming, time-consuming, and complex—but with the right attorneys by your side, the process becomes manageable and effective.
Why Lawsuits Are Sometimes Necessary
While our first goal is always to resolve your case without the cost, stress, and time associated with litigation, some cases require filing a lawsuit to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. Common reasons for litigation include:
- Low-ball settlement offers from insurance companies or the adverse party.
- Disputes over liability, where the opposing side denies responsibility.
At Herrman and Herrman, we have experienced litigators on our team who know when and how to escalate your case effectively. Filing a lawsuit is a critical decision, and we guide you through every step to ensure your interests are protected.
Understanding the Litigation Process
Once a lawsuit is filed, the process can take anywhere from 12 months to several years. While this timeline may seem daunting, it’s often necessary to secure the maximum compensation for your claim. Here’s why lawsuits can take time:
- Court delays: Courts are often overwhelmed with criminal, family, and juvenile cases, leading to significant delays.
- Defense tactics: In some cases, defense attorneys may intentionally slow the process, billing hourly to maximize their compensation from the insurance company.
- Case complexity: Lawsuits involve multiple steps, including depositions, expert witness designations, discovery, and pre-trial motions.
At Herrman and Herrman, we know how to navigate these challenges. Our team stays proactive, pushing your case forward and ensuring deadlines are met so your claim isn’t unnecessarily delayed.
