How long does it take to get a workmans compensation claim through a lawyer? -

My fiance lost 4 fingers last yr on his job. The doc did put his fingers back on but he has still lost a lot of use out of them. We got a lawyer in Jan. He got released from the doctor on Aug 29th. They say that they are just waiting to get the paperwork back from the doc saying how much of a percentage he s lost in his hand.. Does anyone know about how long this could take to get a settlement?

Honestly, it could take weeks, months, or years. It all depends on how well your fiance and his attorney have supported his case, how reasonable each side is, how much other work each attorney has, and potentially how crowded the court system is.
