Medical malpractice cases are very complex and involve thousands of medical records and testimony from numerous experts. The start of a case to an actual jury verdict may take 3+ years. However the vast majority of civil cases settle before trial. If we feel we have sufficient evidence we will work with you to determine the possibility of settlement.

Money is the only language these corporations understand. We will always seek the most compensation for our clients. We also shoot straight with our clients about the value of their cases. Case value can be affected by numerous variables. We are happy to discuss case value once we have all the relevant facts.

This usually means the surviving spouse gets at least 30% and the children divide the rest.
