The standard of care

Not every bad outcome is malpractice. Medicine is hard, and even good doctors lose patients. Malpractice is when a provider departs from what a reasonably prudent peer would have done — and that departure causes injury. Building a case requires expert review, complete medical records, and a careful timeline.

Statute of limitations

Medical malpractice deadlines are shorter and more strictly applied than ordinary injury cases. Delaware's limit is generally 2 years from the date of injury. NJ allows discovery-rule extensions in some circumstances. PA is 2 years with a 7-year statute of repose. Get a free review fast.

Frequently Asked

Medical Malpractice FAQ.

01
How do I know if it was malpractice?

You don't have to know — that's our job. We review the records, talk to medical experts, and tell you honestly whether there's a case.
02
Will the hospital share my records?
+
You have a right to your records. We help you request them, and if we represent you, we use the formal process to get the complete file — not the version they hand patients on disk.

Are there caps on damages?

Delaware has no general cap on medical malpractice damages. NJ and PA have specific rules around punitive damages and certain venues.
