Re: How long does it take
You don't say what kind of a third party suit has been filed and where it has been filed. Usually in Cook County Circuit Court a case may take up to 3-4 years before getting to trial. You should ask your attorney for explanations as to why it has taken so long. You can also go to the Court in which the case has been filed and ask the clerk the status or the next court date of the case. You can also do that via telephone.
Good luck
