Case Velocity Myths — What Actually Slows a Case Down
In this episode of The Golden Pear Law Corner, we take a closer look at one of the most misunderstood aspects of personal injury cases: what really causes delays. Rather than focusing on assumptions or surface-level explanations, this conversation explores how case velocity actually works — and why momentum is often lost long before anyone realizes it. We unpack: The difference between activity and progress Why delays often come from misalignment, not inaction How treatment, documentation, and decision-making impact case flow Where litigation funding fits into the process — and where it doesn’t This episode isn’t about rushing cases or cutting corners. It’s about understanding how coordination, timing, and continuity shape outcomes. If you’ve ever wondered why some cases move smoothly while others stall, this episode offers a clearer way to think about case velocity — and what truly keeps cases moving forward..png)
Case Velocity: Why Personal Injury Cases Slow Down Even When Liability Is Clear
In this special micro-capsule of The Golden Pear Law Corner, we take a closer look at a question that comes up often in personal injury cases: why do cases slow down even when liability is clear? Clear fault doesn’t always translate into momentum. In this episode, we explore how friction — not lack of effort — is usually what causes delays. From medically necessary treatment timing and documentation flow to financial timing gaps, we break down where case velocity tends to break down and why. We also discuss what case velocity really means in practice, and how removing friction — rather than rushing cases forward — helps keep cases on track without compromising care or decision-making. This micro-capsule is part of an ongoing series designed to share practical insights between our regular episodes..png)
