How long does a medical malpractice case take?

Serving Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York & Nationwide

Medical Malpractice Case Each medical malpractice case is unique. There is no set timeline for how long your case will take. To reach a final settlement or verdict in your case, it can take months to years. However, at Kline & Specter, PC, we understand that the serious injuries sustained because of medical malpractice are a costly burden to you and your family. Our attorneys fight to hold the responsible parties accountable for your injuries and recover the compensation you need for medical expenses and long-term care.

The first step in your case is meeting with an attorney to discuss your legal options. You only have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit under your state’s statute of limitations, so schedule your consultation as soon as possible after your injury.

When pursuing a medical malpractice claim, we will file a legal complaint against the responsible medical professionals and notify all parties of the lawsuit. Then the initial discovery process begins. During this process we will request documents and evidence from the opposing parties and gather information through depositions. Expert witnesses will be retained to give their opinions on whether the medical care provided fell below accepted standards of care.

From that point, we can begin preparing for trial and negotiating a settlement. At each step in the process, the experienced lawyers at Kline & Specter will help you understand the status of your case and give you trusted counsel in the decision to settle or pursue a jury verdict.

Kline & Specter is a preeminent national law firm. The firm has more than 40 attorneys, five of whom are also highly skilled medical doctors, the most of any firm in the United States.

Our impressive record of verdicts and settlements includes multi-million dollar verdicts for medical malpractice victims and their families, such as the record-setting $100 million verdict for an infant who was left with brain damage and a missing limb after a series of medical mistakes.

Our compassionate and dedicated attorneys are waiting for your call. Contact Kline & Specter today at 800-243-1100 for your free medical malpractice case consultation. We represent clients in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and across the nation.
