FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A qualified expert must review the records to confirm the standard of care was breached and caused harm — we arrange that at no cost.

Often two to three years depending on the state, with strict procedural rules and short pre-filing deadlines in some states. Call promptly.

States like Texas require an early expert report to screen out weak claims — missing that deadline can end a valid case, so early legal help matters.

Some states cap non-economic damages (like pain and suffering) in malpractice cases; others, like Arizona, do not. We'll explain what applies to you.

Nothing up front. We work on contingency — no fee unless we win or settle your case.
