The length of medical malpractice cases ultimately depends on the facts and circumstance of the case. That being said, legitimate medical malpractice cases typically last one to three years.

These cases can take so long to resolve for a number of reasons. For instance, if more than one patient is involved in the case, then it will take time for the multiple parties to coordinate their cases.

Once a medical malpractice case receives a verdict, however, it may not have reached a conclusion. In many cases, either the plaintiff or defendant will try to appeal the verdict.
