If a hospital asked you to write a letter describing your complaints, you run like the wind to an attorney and gain consultation before you reply with one word to the hospital.

If this has happened, chances are that you are being considered for an offer of settlement; whether or not you receive a settlement depends on whether or not you are motivated by greed or you are motivated to accept a reasonable offer and forego a lawsuit.

A medmal lawsuit takes an average of 5 years to reach court. A settlement can be instantly agreed upon with a payment in full date of no more than 30 days from the date of the settlement.

You may be asked to keep all details of the settlement private, so let's develop a code now!
That way, you can come back and let us know an approximate amount you received.

Lya..that sounds like good news

In all honesty...I dont' want to wait 3 to 5 years. I know I would probable get ALOT more money...but, I don't know if I could handle the stress of it all. I guess it will depend on the offer..( if that is what they are planning)...not, saying I don't need the money...just don't want all the stress...I have enough in my life.

Ok...I am not too great with code's...so make one up for me ok? I would love to help people out. I don't think anyone should have to go through what I went through.

Just use the smilies: [/QUOso the red is 0 to 50,000, the yellow is 50,000 to 150,000 and the green is above 150,000. Works for me.

This would be giving the malpractice carrier a free shot at you, and what you say can lock you into a story that while it may be totally accurate, may leave your case open to interpretations in the legal world that may be used to your detriment.

You could be a very nice person and say something that gives an out for what was done, or that could shift blame.

I know how stressful this can be, but if you haven't gone through this before I would definitely be seeking legal advice, and definitely seeking to have anything you write reviewed before you let others read it.

As to a settlement now, versus 3-5 years and as to a settlement without an attorney those are monetary issues that a calculator can help you better make a decision.

But example. If a person negotiated a $40,000 settlement on day one, but an attorney could get you $100,000 after 5 years. The attorney may get 40% plus expenses so that taking the settlement on day one, while much less for the defendents could be much better for the claimant. Plus you have he settlement done immediately.
