How long does it take a lawyer and/or the law firm to file a lawsuit? My case manager said that he sent my case to the Litigation team(dept.). He said that they are a little behind and they have to file the cases that S.O.L are coming up. How long does it take to file a personal injury(premises Liability)? Also how much does it cose to file one? State of NY. Thank you

There is no set time frame to file a lawsuit so long as it is done within the applicable statute of limitations. You have to remember, lawyers are required to make their own independent investigation of the facts of the lawsuit to ensure that there is a good faith basis in fact or law to bring a suit. If a lawyer is found to have brought a frivolous suit, then he is subject to sanction and/or discipline by the state bar.
If you’re worried about it, call and ask if they can give you a timeframe for when they’re shooting to have it filed. Otherwise the best thing you can do is to stand back and let them do their jobs.
A lawsuit takes a long time to settle, there is no time frame. It’s been 8 years and me and my family are still waiting for a multi million dollar lawsuit to end. Any lawsuit takes a long time.
NJKid, I’m sorry to hear about your situation. I was hurt once in South Dakota when a car backed over my left foot at work. My employer attempted to settle with me fast because I knew they were try to get me to sign some papers to release them from responsibility. I called a recommended accident lawyer in my city who provided me useful advice and I was able to get a medium sized settlement to cover my medical bills that weren’t covered by my work insurance. I’d find a accident lawyer in your area. http://www.accidentlawyerlocator.com My accident lawyer was helped me because they expect to make some money at the same time. Try calling a lawyer to see if they can help.
Sorry to hear about your situation.
