Understanding the Timeline of Construction Lawsuits
When it comes to construction lawsuits, one of the most frequently asked questions is about the time it takes for a case to be resolved. As someone deeply involved in this area of law, I can tell you that construction lawsuits are not like typical cases. They often take longer, primarily because of the thorough preparation required to ensure you get the best possible outcome for your clients.
Preparing for Trial
We take every case to trial, preparing as if the case is going to be heard by a jury. This level of preparation involves deposing various defendants, gathering experts, and often filing motions for summary judgment. This legal strategy means we seek a ruling from the court on liability before a trial begins. The advantage here is that once the judge rules, we have the upper hand in settlement talks and ensure the defendant knows what is coming. We often file these motions early, as it also accrues interest at 9% annually, which can significantly increase the settlement amount over time.
How Long Does it Take?
Realistically, construction lawsuits can take several years to resolve, depending on the complexity of the case. The time required to gather evidence, interview experts, and complete depositions can drag out the process. But we don’t mind this because we know that thorough preparation is essential to obtaining fair compensation for those injured on construction sites.
