The Status of limitation
is critical in malpractice cases. This is thetime period in which you have a right to bring a law suit.
The exact time differs from State to State. But unlike an auto accident where the date of the injury is based on a specific event, it is not always clear when
malpractice occurred and by whom it was committed. That is because treatment
often occurs over long periods of time at various facilities, and by different providers.


To preserve your rights it is critical to seek legal advice immediately. To assist us in assessing the case it is useful if you can gather the following
information: a brief outline of history of your treatment, the names addresses and telephone numbers of your providers, copies of any medical bills and prescriptions, and your medical insurance information. Because of the complexity of malpractice cases all of the pertinent records must be obtained and reviewed by our medical experts before a decision can be made on your case. Gathering these documents will help us to help you.

Medical Malpractice actions are claims against doctors, dentists and other health care providers who cause an injury to an individual by failing to diagnose, treat, or cure a disease or condition in accordance with acceptable professional standards.

According to the US Food and Drug Administration medical malpractice errors are responsible for 98,000 wrongful deaths each year - more than all highway deaths - and cause injury to over 1.3 million people.

Lawyers work on a contingency basis, which means they get a percentage of whatever money they recover for you, and nothing unless they win. However, in order to win the lawyer must often spend $25,000 - $50,000 and even more in cash outlays for medical records and experts to prosecute these cases. Unfortunately, this means that we are generally unable to accept cases involving short term injuries, or conditions which are easily correctible.
