The duration of a medical malpractice case can vary widely depending on its complexity, the parties involved, and the court’s schedule. Cases can take anywhere from several months to years to settle. While a quicker settlement might seem appealing, it’s not always in your best interest. A fast settlement might not cover all your losses or medical costs, especially those that arise in the future. A skilled medical malpractice lawyer will know how to balance the need for a timely resolution with the need to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
