Q: Attorney Tully, do all Medical Malpractice/Wrongful Death cases have to go to trial?
A: No. Medical Malpractice/Wrongful Death cases are more difficult to settle than say car accident cases (which we also do) where liability is clear. Also, the doctors involved in the case need to approve any settlement that will affect their malpractice insurance. That can be a big stumbling block. On the positive side though, UPMC in particular has begun a mediation program to attempt to resolve some Medical Malpractice cases instead of proceeding to trial. In the right situation, mediation can be a great cost effective way to resolve malpractice cases. Call me. No recovery/no fee.
