Factors Affecting Trial Date
Although your attorney may approximate when a trial date will be assigned for your case, he may first need to look at certain factors that will affect when your case will actually be ready for trial.
- Some factors your New Jersey PI attorney will need to consider include:
- The specific facts surrounding your accident
- The extent of your personal injuries and whether you have completely
- The information revealed during discovery
- Whether all necessary depositions have been taken of all the potential witnesses and necessary parties
- The number of cases pending trial in the jurisdiction where you filed your personal injury claim
- The availability of judges to hear trials in your jurisdiction
- The type of trial calendar that is set up at the court you filed your lawsuit
- Both lawyers’ availability to try the case
There are numerous factors that will affect when your case goes to trial. Personal injury lawsuits often take a long time to resolve. Most of the delays you will encounter are not your New Jersey PI attorney’s fault. There is nothing that can be done to speed things up in most cases. The best thing you can do is to be patient and follow any advice your lawyer gives you so as not to delay the start of your trial even more.
