How long does a claim or suit take to resolve?
A. Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to that question. Some relatively minor claims are resolved, or abandoned by the patient, in the first few months after making the claim. Conversely, lawsuits that have complicated medical issues and/or a number of defendants may take up to four or five years before final resolution. The duration of any claim is solely dependant upon the severity and nature of the allegations being made.
