  1. How Long Does a Personal Injury Case Take in Houston? Initial Medical Treatment Before your case can progress, your medical condition needs to stabilize. This process, known as reaching maximum medical improvement (MMI), can take weeks or even months depending on your injuries. Investigation and Evidence Once your treatment is underway, your attorney will gather evidence. This includes medical records, police reports, witness statements, and expert opinions. In Houston, this stage may take a few weeks to a few months, especially if there are disputes over liability or injury severity. Claim and Negotiations Your lawyer will send a demand letter to the insurance company outlining your damages. Then, the negotiation phase begins. In many Houston cases, insurance companies initially offer low settlements, and it may take several rounds of back-and-forth to reach a fair deal. Filing a Lawsuit If negotiations fail, your attorney may file a lawsuit. In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years from the date of the injury. Once filed, the case enters the pre-trial discovery phase, which can take 6 months to over a year, especially in complex cases.
