It takes time to evaluate and prepare a medical malpractice lawsuit
While all personal injury claims require time and careful attention, medical malpractice cases are especially demanding on the front end. Pennsylvania law requires that every medical negligence case be supported by a “certificate of merit” signed by a qualified medical professional whose credentials are similar to the defendant's. If doctors from several specialties will be named in the lawsuit, a separate certificate of merit will need to be filed for each specialty.
Expert review of malpractice cases can take several months after the medical records are assembled. The crucial question our experts need to consider is whether a negligent violation of a recognized standard of care caused the patient's unfortunate medical outcome.
