How Long Does It Take to Settle a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

Question:

How long will a wrongful death settlement take?

Answer:

If you have lost a loved one recently, you may be asking yourself how long it takes to go through this process. It depends. Did the person who passed away have businesses? Did they have many homes? What caused their passing? These are all things that need to be taken into account when figuring out how long a case will take. Sometimes there are other situations that take place. For example, if there?s a governmental investigation as to the cause of death that you need to be aware of, this could delay this process. The insurance company, too, is going to try to do whatever they can to limit their exposure and delay this process. This is not a question that can be answered simply.
