Many things factor into the length and value of a case. The most important factor is the injured person, or the plaintiff. The plaintiff’s injuries, job, education, age, life expectancy, certain preexisting health conditions, prior and subsequent injury status, and even demeanor can all largely determine the value of the case. Other factors that weigh in to a case’s progression include the particular court in which the case is situated, witnesses, progression of medical treatment, and insurance companies involved. While some comparisons may be made, each case is unique. Simply because one case moves quicker than another does not mean that it is better or worse in any way. Simply because a recovery dollar value is higher on one case than another does not always mean that it is necessarily a better case.
