These lengths of time depend on the complexity of your case and how the doctor and hospital react after they receive notice of the lawsuit. Given the damages that you could receive, some birth injury cases do not proceed quickly. Birth injury lawsuits involve lifelong medical costs in many instances, and doctors and their insurance companies may take time to defend the case and figure out their own legal strategy.
These cases will also involve much expert testimony and review of the medical records. In a best-case scenario, the defendant will realize their own risks and want to talk about a settlement as soon as possible. However, an initial move towards a settlement does not always happen. As your birth injury attorney, we could help you negotiate the best possible settlement while always being prepared to litigate the case if it is necessary. We are always ready to fight for you.
Birth injury cases can take a long time to work their way through the court system. Many defendants do not feel any pressure to settle the case until the eve of trial. In some cases, they may be trying to wait you out to increase their own leverage, another reason why you need tough attorneys who will show you compassion while fighting for your legal rights.
