Q: Will I have to go to trial?

A: The advent of alternative dispute resolution has played a role in increasing settlement of cases and today the majority of cases do not go to trial. While it is true that the majority of cases settle out of court, whether your particular case will go to trial depends heavily on the facts of your case.

Q: What is alternative dispute resolution?

A: Commonly referred to as ADR, alternative dispute resolution is mediation or arbitration. Mediation is what our firm typically chooses to use. A typical mediation involves an unbiased mediator who works to facilitate settlement between two parties. Mediation is not always necessary.

Q: How long will it take to resolve my case?

A: As with Nursing Home cases Medical Malpractice cases are complicated by presuit requirements and procedures required by Florida law. The compliance with these laws tends to increase the amount of time that a medical malpractice claim may take to be resolved.
