Once we achieve a resolution—whether through a settlement, court verdict, or alternative dispute resolution—we will assist you with the next steps, ensuring that the outcome is favorable to your legal and healthcare interests. Post-resolution support might include:

Ø  Ensuring that any compensation or damages awarded are processed.

Ø  Guiding you on further legal action if needed, for example, in cases of appeal or enforcement.
