As the client, you have every right to be fully informed of the progress in your case. Call your lawyer and politely ask for an update. Schedule a face-to-face meeting with him or her to discuss your case. Never stay with a lawyer who ignores your reasonable requests for an update or is too busy to call you back. You have the absolute right to change lawyers at any time during your case if you are unsatisfied.

Keep your patience during the legal progress. Accident cases can take years to be disposed of through the court system. Factors impacting the length of your case can include: the court in which it is brought, the parties you sue, the nature and extent of your injuries, the legal principles and liability issues of your case as well as the settlement positions of the parties involved.
Some things to keep in mind when understanding what’s Happening with my Case
- Most injury cases do not go to trial, but some do.
- Your case could sit on the court’s trial-ready calendar for approximately one to three years before it is actually assigned for trial. Often times, this is due to congestion in the court system and is not the fault of your lawyer.
- Trust that your lawyer is doing everything he or she can do to favorably resolve your case.
- Try not to be frustrated if you do not see immediate results in your case.
- Be forewarn that justice has never been achieved overnight.
- Any lawyer who promises you a quick settlement or particular result is not telling you the whole truth.
- The legal process takes time and can be unpredictable.
- Hire an attorney who is honest and gives you realistic advice about your case.
- He or she will know how to litigate your case as quickly as possible and keep you informed and educated during the entire process.
