Questions

Do I have a claim?

See our areas of practice to read about the types of claims we handle. If a physician has made a mistake that caused you serious and permanent injury, please call us today.

How long do I have to sue?

Every state has a statute of limitations that limits the time you have to sue. You may have only 2 years from the time of injury, sometimes longer. You may have to notify a state, town, or it health providers sooner. Call us immediately.

Who pays the cost to bring my case?

Generally your legal counsel will advance the costs to bring your case, although you may be liable during or after the case for payment or reimbursement.

How does my legal counsel get paid by me?

If injured, legal counsel will generally handle your claim on a contingency basis. This means the counselor at law will forego payment of legal fees until after your case is resolved, and then on a percentage of the recovery basis.

What can I expect to happen if I sue health providers?

The course of a claim is investigation, obtaining an expert opinion, filing with the courthouse, information exchange by paper and during depositions. Sometimes claims are settled during a mediation or they go to court.

Offers to settle may be made and if rejected or the trial is lost, litigants may be liable for their adversary's counsel fees and/or trial expenses. If you win, you have to repay all expenses to your counsel, and you may receive awards for medical bills, lost wages, and often pain and suffering.
