In this video, California attorney Michael Becker from Shouse Injury Law Group discusses the timeline involved in settling a wrongful death lawsuit. He explains that the process can vary widely depending on the circumstances of the case. In situations where liability is clear and undisputed, a settlement may be reached in just a few months. However, initial settlement offers are often insufficient to cover the financial and emotional losses faced by the victim's family.

Becker goes on to explain that when fault is contested or there are disagreements among family members, the case can become more complex. In these instances, it may take six months or longer to build a compelling case and obtain a fair settlement. If no agreement is reached, going to trial becomes necessary, adding significant delays, with court dates often scheduled a year or more out.

The video highlights the importance of understanding the factors that affect the timeline of a wrongful death lawsuit. Becker provides insights into the legal process, helping families navigate the challenges they may face while pursuing compensation after a tragic loss.
