Re: Medical Malpractice
The amount of time that is required to litigate a malpractice suit varies widely depending on the circumstances of the case.
If you have a suit in progress, you need to address this question to the attorney handling the case.
If you are considering a malpractice suit, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Many, if not most, malpractice attorneys will provide an initial phone consultation without charge.
Please feel free to call my office, or contact another malpractice attorney through this list, your county Bar Association or the Yellow Pages.
