Medical records, operative reports, expert medical opinions, and testimony are key pieces of evidence. Our team will gather and organize all necessary evidence for you.

Generally, you have two years from the date of the malpractice or discovery of the injury. However, exceptions apply—so it’s critical to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
