What Happens in a Malpractice Settlement?
Malpractice settlements compensate victims for medical mistakes. Settlements can cover future expenses, such as surgeries or therapy and also compensation for expenses incurred in the past, such as lost wages.

Consult a medical malpractice attorney as early as you can so they can begin making your claim before the statute of limitation expiring.
