Your Medical Malpractice Lawsuit: Understanding the Process
When we take your surgical error case, we begin by reviewing your medical records, consulting with experts and filing a Certificate of Merit. After that, we file a factually specific complaint that details the allegations of medical malpractice.
We then conduct detailed interviews — called depositions — of defendants, witnesses and medical experts. These may include the surgeon, surgical assistants and representatives of the hospital or surgery center. We also conduct thorough document reviews, research legal statutes and case law.
This work can involve extensive costs, but our clients do not need to worry about paying to file their medical malpractice lawsuits. We handle these lawsuits on contingency, which means that we pay up-front for costs assumed by our law firm. You only owe us if we recover favorably for you, either through a settlement or jury verdict.
