Yes, I already know I will need a good lawyer. I was just wondering how long the entire process takes, and if the "little guy" ever wins against the big powerfull doctors with their high-power, big-budget lawyers?

I am in the process of law suit with a doctor for malpractice. I had my first operation in Nov. 2004 and then had trouble. I contacted a lawyer in Jan. 2005. We are still waiting to hear something. They told me as of August 10 this year that it would soon be coming to a close. It takes a while and unfortunately depending on where you live there are laws like tort reform. This means you can only wins so much. There is a limit put on pain and suffering settlements. Hope that helps you.

OTC drugs are a lot less effective and are not a similar because the prescription. also, the first difficulty the decide ought to ask you is...why you persevered the drug for 4 months without contacting your health care specialist about your damaging consequences.

You'll have to find a lawyer who specializes in that.
