A: This question is impossible to answer because there are many factors which influence when your case will actually be reached for trial. Such factors include:

a. The number of cases waiting for trial in your county or jurisdiction.

b. The number of judges available to hear trials in your jurisdiction.

c. Whether or not all discovery, such as interrogatories and depositions, have been completed by both sides.

d. The type of trial calendar set up in your jurisdiction. (For example-do criminal trials have priority? Is there a so-called "trailing docket"?)

e. Whether or not the attorneys in the case have other trials pending in other jurisdictions.

f. Other possible factors.

Your attorney will be able to tell you approximately when your case will be scheduled for trial. In some jurisdictions it takes a year or less to get to trial after the suit has been filed. In other states it can take several years.
