Why do lawyers drag out cases?

For example, both parties may have sufficient time to gather and review the evidence in the case. This gives them an opportunity to develop arguments that they could use for their side or to refute the other party's arguments. In addition, it can give them time to prepare and file motions, such as motions to exclude evidence or testimony, which can help improve the progress of the case. Defense attorneys often thoroughly analyze the plaintiff's statements for errors, which can be used to try to get the case dismissed or to limit the plaintiff to a more definitive statement.

Personal injury attorneys recognize this tactic and provide assistance with contingency fees so that clients don't have to bear any high costs for litigation. Therefore, disability attorneys have an incentive to work hard and efficiently on your case to maximize your chances of receiving payment. For example, personal injury attorneys may be inclined to postpone conversations to reach an agreement if there is another related case being heard in court. It is common for defendants (lawyers) to make it difficult for them to process their claims by obstructing the legal process.
