Re: Medical Malpractice

There is no appeal of a medical review panel decision. Rather, you may proceed to file a lawsuit now that a panel decision had been rendered.

That opinion is considered to be expert evidence that you need to rebut in order to avoid having your case thrown out in court. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your case. I am located in Lake County.
