Why do medical malpractice cases take longer than other personal injury cases?
Video Transcription:
Medical malpractice cases take longer than other personal injury cases because they’re more complex and difficult. Further, in order to pursue and prevail on a medical malpractice case, expert witness testimony is required. Defendant health care providers rarely, if ever, are willing to settle any malpractice case until depositions have been taken and significant discovery or pretrial litigation has been completed.
