Personal injuries lawsuits are unfortunately common. We say unfortunately because we don’t like the fact that there are people out there who are still getting injured through no fault of their own. Our crowded streets make these events more likely to occur. We understand that to you, there is nothing common about an injury.  We appreciate that each case is unique and the impact on your life is highly personal.  We do not treat your case as just another cookie-cutter claim on the conveyor. Those who come into the offices of Craig Annin & Baxter often have many questions about their case, not the least of which it is how long it will take the case to resolve.

Personal Injury Cases Are Almost Always Settled, But Not Always Quickly You may have seen when researching Woodbury NJ accident lawyers that many personal injury cases are settled. In fact, nearly all cases that Woodbury NJ accident lawyers take up are settled long before they get to an actual trial. Even so, this does not mean that the cases are dealt with in a cursory manner. In fact, many defendants drag out the proceedings for an unusually long time if they are in the wrong and know it. They don’t want to take responsibility for what they did, at least not at the price the plaintiff considers fair.

How to Hasten The Process You cannot twist the arm of the other side and make them do what you want them to do, but you can hire a firm such as Craig Annin & Baxter to aggressively pursue your rights. Talented lawyers who work at this firm have seen cases very similar to yours in the past and know what to expect and what to do to get the kind of results that you need. They also have working relationships with a large network of legal professionals, and this can sometimes help speed things along as well. No matter what, expect to be involved in this kind of thing for a matter of months if not years. At the very least make sure you hire a firm such as this to put the most talented people for the job on your case.
