There is no “average length” for a medical malpractice claim. Claims that go to court can prolong a resolution by several years. The length of your case matters when you are awaiting compensation for the damages your injury has caused.
Several factors can influence the course of a medical malpractice claim. The sooner one of our lawyers can review medical records, interview witnesses, and collect evidence, the quicker we can take necessary action on your behalf.
Allowing our attorneys to get to work quickly may help to speed the process and prevent the need for a trial. However, because each patient is unique and deserving of authentic representation, we are here to take viable claims as far as needed to help ensure the best outcome.
What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to uphold accepted standards of care and a patient is unnecessarily injured. Examples of this include:
- Missed or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Birth injury
- Medication and anesthesia errors
- Emergency room negligence
Establishing liability is often very difficult in medical malpractice cases due to the nature of healthcare. Allowing an experienced legal team to investigate malpractice claims as soon as possible can help ensure accurate information is gathered and assist in moving a claim forward.
