How long does a birth injury lawsuit take?

Because of the uniquely complex nature of birth injury claims and the gravity of the damages they seek to address, birth injury lawsuits often take years to resolve. These lawsuits tend to involve testimony from multiple expert witnesses, and may lead to appeals if not settled outside of court. However, the eventual settlement or compensation awarded generally makes this long and challenging process worthwhile.
