        "text": "The duration of a wrongful death lawsuit can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the case, the willingness of parties to negotiate, and court schedules. Simple cases might settle within a year, while more complex disputes involving multiple parties, extensive evidence, or a need for trial could take several years to resolve. Your attorney can provide a more accurate estimate after reviewing the specifics of your situation, but patience is often required.",
