Everything people ask before they call

Short answers. Your own facts may change them.

Will you take my case?

We review many and take few. We take a case when the records and a physician’s opinion point to care that fell short, real harm from it, and losses that justify the work.

What do you mean by care that fell short?

Care that a careful provider in the same field wouldn’t have given in the same situation. A bad result alone isn’t enough.

Do I need to have my records before I call?

No. We request them with your signed release. If you have letters, bills or discharge papers, keep them handy.

What will it cost to find out?

Nothing to review. If we take the case, the fee is a share of any recovery and nothing if there is none. Costs such as records and expert reviews are explained in writing first, and the agreement says whether you owe them if there is no recovery.

How long will it take?

Review takes weeks to a few months, depending on how fast providers send records. A case that goes forward takes much longer, and we’ll give you an honest range.

Can I bring a claim for a family member who died?

Sometimes. Who may bring it and how long they have depends on the state, so please call and ask.

Will my doctor know I called?

Not from us. We don’t contact a provider until you sign a release, and then we ask only for records.

What if I live outside the area?

We can often work by phone and video and gather records by mail. Tell us where care took place and we’ll say whether we can help.

Still wondering about your case?

Tell us what happened and we’ll say what we think.

We review your case at no charge. If we take it, our fee is a share of any recovery and nothing if there is none. Case costs, such as records and expert reviews, are explained in writing before you sign, and the agreement says whether you owe them if there is no recovery.
