Q: How long will my suit take and where does my suit need to be filed?

A: The amount of time that it takes to conclude your case depends on where the case is filed.  An injured marine worker is entitled to bring his case in either state or federal court.  There are often several court locations or venues where a marine worker can bring his case.  Once again, it is important to consult with an experienced maritime lawyer to know the very best place to bring a case.  The length of time to conclude your case depends on where the case was filed.  Some of the various places a suit can be filed can include your home town, the headquarters or main office of your employer, the site where the accident occurred, or a site where many of the witnesses live or work.  Your attorney will select the best possible venue to bring your case.
