Question:

How much does it cost to file a medical malpractice claim?

Answer:

Cost of a Medical Malpractice Claim How much does it cost to file a medical malpractice case in Idaho? The filing of the lawsuit is not necessarily particularly expensive, but once you file the lawsuit, then there’s substantial expense. The term filing a lawsuit, typically for a medical malpractice case, means that you have gathered the medical records, submitted the medical records for review to one or more medical experts, made a determination along with your lawyer that it makes sense to proceed with pursuing the medical malpractice case, and have actually filed the lawsuit.

Those initial steps can involve thousands of dollars, but probably those initial steps can be completed for less than $10,000 and in many cases for less than $5,000. Filing a medical malpractice case requires investment of money with medical professionals and with gathering information before you can even file the lawsuit, and that’s just the start. The expense of the process takes off dramatically from there, and most medical malpractice cases involve the investment of tens of thousands of dollars, if not more than a hundred thousand dollars with certain cases.

Because of the costs involved with medical malpractice cases, it’s important to investigate them thoroughly and to consult with a knowledgeable and experienced medical malpractice lawyer so that you’re making a good decision whether to file the case or not.
