How Long Will it Take to Resolve My Case?

Every case is very different. Some matters resolve in a few months, while other complex cases can stretch out for years. With Dr. Fagel's nearly 30 years of experience, he has created a streamlined system to get you the maximum compensation in the shortest amount of time. Other determinants include court congestion and medical malpractice laws governing your state and county.

It is important to know the full outcome of injuries. Performing a thorough case evaluation can take up to a year. The combination of those two factors is needed to determine the maximum value of your case. Many permanent injuries require ongoing medical care. Dr. Fagel works diligently to prepare a case that will seek to recover past and future medical expenses, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering.

Dr. Fagel was involved in the legislation which resulted in the California statute that allows an early priority of cases involving minors. Since then, he has effectively utilized this rule to resolve most of the cases involving children injured at birth and has obtained settlements within 18 months or less of filing such claims. However, in cases that do not have a statutory priority, Dr. Fagel aggressively pursues these claims within the limitations of each county and state.

Dr. Fagel understands this difficult period for you and your family because you don't know if or when you will collect money. Dr. Fagel and his team will be there for you every step of the way. Dr. Fagel has settled over 95% of the cases that he has filed, and has tried more than 50 medical malpractice cases to a favorable verdict. With this success record of Dr. Fagel's cases, you can have confidence that you are in the right hands.
