How Long Does It Typically Take to Settle a
Wrongful Termination Lawsuit in California?
2
Time - Frame

• Depending on the case, it can go anywhere between
  6 months and 2 years. So how long does an average
  case last in California? Based on the statistical
  data, you should take one year as a valid time
  frame.
• Each employment discrimination lawsuit may take
  up to a year to litigate. And dont let this
  surprise you, as there are higher value cases
  that may take up to 2 years to settle.

Factors Involved

• Every case is different and has many different
  factors that may determine the length of the
  whole process. Some factors include
• List the times allotted for each topic
• Personalities of the plaintiff employee, the
  defendant employer and the attorneys involved (if
  cooperation is possible, the case can close much
  sooner)
• Expertise, knowledge, and experience of the
  attorneys involved
• Court backlog
• The value of the case (cases are longer when
  there is more money at stake and more to fight
  for)
• Additional appeals may prolong the trial
• The Court and Statutory Deadlines are set, and
  both parties can take time to prepare their cases
• Other important factors such as scheduling
  depositions, medical exams, mediations.

Termination Case

Meeting the Deadlines

• Other important factors that may prolong the case
  significantly are deadlines. If you filed a claim
  with the Department of Fair Employment and
  Housing (DFEH), or with the Equal Employment
  Opportunity Commission (EEOC), you have to
  respect and meet their deadlines. These deadlines
  can be anywhere between 180 and 300 days.
• The general rule is to file a claim as fast as
  possible. There are thousands of individuals like
  you, who have the same problem and also want to
  file a claim for wrongful termination. The
  above-listed agencies can only deal with a
  certain amount of people at a time, so filing as
  soon as possible will put you in a waiting queue
  immediately unless someone is available to take
  care of your case.

The Length of a Trial

• Finally, the last factor that may decide the
  length of the case is the trial. In California,
  most judges are already overloaded with work and
  different cases. They will try and give every
  attorney a chance to build and present a case.
  However, employment trials have to be completed
  in one or two weeks. In case of an appeal, the
  case will get extended for at least one
  additional year.
• This is why a typical case of wrongful
  termination lawsuit in California lasts about a
  year, which is a long time. Many factors are
  involved, and each one of them could be the
  difference between a short and a very long case.
