How do we know if we need to speak to an attorney about medical malpractice?

If you or a loved one have been seriously injured during a medical procedure, and that injury was unexpected, or is unexplainable, you should contact a medical malpractice attorney to help you understand your claim, your options, and your rights.

What is your law firm's experience handling medical malpractice claims?

Our attorneys have been helping people find solutions in cases where there has been medical malpractice or negligence for over 35 years.

How much will it cost for me to speak to your firm about a potential claim?

Our legal consultations are always free unless we recover money for you. During the course of our investigation into your birth injury claim, we advance any costs that we deem necessary in the proper handling of your case. If we do not recover money for you, you do not have to return any of the costs incurred associated with your case. This is called the Contingent Fee. For more information on how the Contingent Fee works, click here.

Is there a limit on the time we have in which to file a medical malpractice claim?

The statute of limitations on most medical malpractice claims in the state of Pennsylvania is 2 years. There are exceptions to this rule, as in cases where the victim is a minor (Minor's Tolling Statute) and when the injury itself has gone undetected beyond that period of time (The Discovery Rule.)

Will we have to appear in court?

Most medical malpractice cases are settled outside of the courtroom. It is uncommon that a trial is required in a medical malpractice case. This is to your advantage because the settlement of a claim permits the victim or their family to have direct input into the solution that is crafted as opposed to awaiting the decision of twelve strangers (the jury.)

Can you provide us with examples of other cases like ours that you have handled?

We can provide you with broad examples of the types of birth injury cases we have handled, but due to a Pennsylvania Law called MCARE we cannot legally provide you with specific details including names of victims, doctors, hospitals, and settlement amounts.
