        "text": "The duration of a workers' compensation claim in California varies significantly based on its complexity, the nature of the injury, and whether it is disputed. Simple, undisputed claims might resolve in a few months, while more complex cases involving ongoing medical treatment, multiple body parts, or disputes with the insurance company can take a year or more to settle or go to hearing. A lawyer can help expedite the process and ensure timely resolution while protecting your interests.",
