What if I am told that I do not have a case or claim?

A second opinion is important to obtain if a firm has denied your claim. Attorneys often have varying perspectives regarding the degree of risk they are willing to assume in any certain case.

If we decline your case, we will do our best to provide you with the name and contact information for someone who may be able to assist you.

Why would an attorney decline to take my case?

An MDL attorney may choose not to pursue a claim for various reasons, the most common being that the facts do not warrant a MDL.

Another reason an attorney may not take a case is because he or she believes that the chance for recovery is too small or remote and therefore not financially justifiable for you to pursue.

What factors will an attorney consider when reviewing my case?

As described by the mission statement at Zoll & Kranz, LLC, we believe that “One of the greatest human needs is to be appreciated and understood. To accomplish that one must first listen, then take action based on what you have heard.” This is how we treat each and every case review at our firm.

These evaluations also involve gaining an understanding and assessing the relevant facts and history from a potential client. Based on this information, a dangerous drug attorney may or may not be able to give an opinion as to whether the facts of the case state a claim and other legal issues, such as:

  • If the claim is financially justifiable
  • The degree of risk associated with the claim
  • The claim’s likelihood of recovery

At Zoll & Kranz, we will keep you updated on all stages of the case review process. Our firm will also provide you with names of other professionals who may be able to help you in the event that we cannot take your case.

When must my claim be filed?

The law requires an individual to file a claim within a certain period of time. If not filed within this time frame, referred to as the “statute of limitations,” you are no longer able to pursue a claim.

The statute of limitations depends on both the type of claim and the facts of the case. Because there are many differences, exceptions and various statutes governing the limitations for a particular claim, an experienced MDL attorney should be consulted immediately to ensure that the claim is filed in time.
