How Long Will it Take to Resolve my Case?
The time needed to resolve your case will depend on multiple factors, such as the complexity of the case, the nature of the injuries involved, the time needed for preparation, and the novelty of issues presented and relevant law statues.
Keep in mind, every claim has a law referred to as a “statute of limitation”, which stipulates that a lawsuit must be filed with a certain period of time after the claim arises. For example, if you were involved in a car accident on April 21st, 2017, and the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident, you are required to file a lawsuit in court to recover damages no later than April 21st, 2019. The average statute of limitations is two (2) years, but in some cases can be less. Consult with your attorney to find out how much time you have to file a claim.

I investigated previous claims involving Devorah Gonzalez with Allstate and Travelers. Travelers reported claimant sustained back and neck injuries in the 8/5/08 collision. The claimant sought minimal treatment. Travelers did not administer payments on behalf of the claimant. Allstate was uncooperative and refused to provide medical information without a signed medical authorization form.
The first thing that one needs to consider is the situation that victims are normally under. No one chooses to be in an accident, it is something that is unexpected. Because of that those who are affected are often not at a point financially where they can handle the results of the accident such as lost time at work, medical bills, and other associated cost. Worsening the situation is the fact that the injuring party in the accident often does not want to compensate the victims for their actions. This results in an even
Right now, Allana’s case can resolved at its lowest monetary expense to you. Her medical costs to date are very modest, and both party’s attorney fees and expenses are at their lowest. Allana has not yet proceeded on to more costly medical treatments, because she and Brock simply cannot afford that. Now is the time to consider settlement options, not when the costs have grown.
Paralegals are professionals who assist or support lawyers with their work (Westwood College). Supporting qualified lawyers includes a variety of tasks. When an attorney’s case goes to court, paralegals prepare motions and pleadings, in addition to organizing and cataloguing relevant trial documents (Westwood College). Paralegals also locate and interview witnesses; conduct investigations; conduct legal research; and summarize depositions, interrogatories and testimony (The National Association of Legal Assistants). In addition, the Business and Professions Code Section 6450(a) states that “Tasks performed by a paralegal include, but are not limited to, case planning, development, and management; legal research; interviewing clients; fact gathering and retrieving information; drafting and analyzing legal documents; collecting, compiling, and utilizing technical information to make an independent decision and recommendation to the supervising attorney; and representing clients before a state or federal administrative agency if that representation is permitted by statute, court rule, or administrative rule or regulation” (Business and Professions Code Section 6450(a)).
Throughout the years there have been limitless legal cases presented to the court systems. All cases are not the same. Some cases vary from decisions that are made by a single judge, while other cases decisions are made by a jury. As cases are presented, they typically start off as disputes, misunderstandings, or failure to comply, among other things. It is possible to settle some cases outside of the courts, but that does require understanding and cooperation by all parties involved.

The NSW Criminal Justice System is adequate when dealing with young offenders; however, like any legal system it does have its limitations. The NSW Criminal justice system does uphold the rights of the young offender by providing juveniles with special courts under the Childrens Court Act 1987 (NSW) by providing special protections under the UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child; the recognising of culpability in regards to the age of the young offender by implementing doli incapax and by arranging a variety of diversionary programs and alternative punishments. However, the limitations of the NSW Criminal justice system in relation to young offenders is Doli Incapax in the The Childrens (Criminal Proceedings Act 1987) NSW which fails to recognise more serious offenders and The Young Offenders Act allowance for youth justice conferencing is not being cultivated for a wide enough range of offenders, leading the exclusion of some young offenders from the benefits that conferencing can offer.

The statute of limitation refers to the length of time in which a plaintiff can file a claim. The principle behind statute of limitation is that lawsuits cannot be improved as time passes by. For one, clear details of the facts can be blurred as memories can fade and witnesses may die, go away, or lose interest of the case. Ideally, court prefers to settle the case as soon as disputes develop (Warner, 2010). However, for professional and product liabilities, with injuries may take time to manifest, many courts adapted different rules such as postponing the running of the statute until the injury has been reasonably discovered.
The New South Wales Criminal trial and sentencing process is adequate in balancing the rights of the victims, offenders and society however like any legal system is does have its faults.
