Case Acceptance Guidelines Explains by DC Med Mal Lawyer
We at Donahoe Kearney decide to file a medical malpractice case when a particular case has undergone and passed a rigorous screening process and investigation. Sometimes the investigation of a case takes several years before we can file it, because we need all of the facts and medical records as well as the time and personnel to evaluate them. We only take a small number of cases so that we can dedicate our full resources to them. Our goal is not only to help cover the medical expenses associated with the injury and lost income, but also to prevent the accident from happening again. If you think you have a case and would like more information, then please call Donahoe Kearney at 202-393-3320.
