from time of applying to final judgement is normally 18 months. Now if you have a good lawyer on top of all the paperwork and prepared to respond to any appeals you might be able to get it it in 6-12 months. It also depends on your location ... higher populated areas tend to take longer to get a judgement. Make sure your Dr writes a letter "to whom it may concern" and you retain an original copy at all times. Best of luck!!
