Case resolution may take anywhere from a few months to several years. This will depend on the case intricacies, such as degree of liability, amount of discovery needed, and litigation backlogs. Victims of cancer misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis often incur serious financial issues directly related to their damages and don’t have years to wait.
Our attornies can help you understand options to finance living expenses while your case proceeds in litigation.
There are many factors that will determine how your medical malpractice case is resolved. Cancer misdiagnosis lawsuits are almost always contested and defended by multiple highly-paid defense lawyers. For this reason, you should hire an experienced attorney who thoroughly understands the court process and how to advocate for your rights.
Most medical malpractice lawsuits are resolved by out-of-court settlements. However, this usually occurs after extensive litigation. In many instances, malpractice cases are resolved through an alternative dispute resolution process such as mediation or binding arbitration.
If your case is not settled, your attorney will present your case to a jury. Trust that our experienced medical malpractice attorneys will fight hard for a settlement or jury verdict that fairly compensates you for the harm and loss caused by a delayed cancer diagnosis.
Both Pennsylvania and New Jersey have a two year statute of limitations. This begins when you knew, or should have known, that malpractice occurred. Discuss your case with our attorneys to help you determine the applicable statute of limitations in your case.
From discovery to payment, the many steps to the medical malpractice case process can seem daunting. Working with an experienced and trusted lawyer will ensure the best outcome for you and your family.
