Question:

How long does it take to settle a medical malpractice claim?

Answer:

When people call us about a potential medical malpractice claim, they want to know how long it’s going to take. We have to tell them the truth about that, and that is that we don’t know at that moment because it depends on so many factors. There’s a process involved for getting your medical records and getting the correct information, but it’s also because the insurance company has to cooperate. If they don’t, that causes the process to take longer. If you’re still being treated for your condition, then we want to make sure you get well. We want to make sure we’ve covered all the bases and know all the damages that you’re going to have before we start talking about how long that’s going to be.
