Medical Malpractice

Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Medical malpractice is an all-too-common occurrence in Florida. Although physicians undergo years of specialized training and are expected to adhere to strict protocols, even small mistakes or oversights can result in devastating injury or even death. Typically, medical malpractice occurs when doctors fail to adhere to standard treatment protocols. Deviation from these principles and procedures can result in symptoms being misdiagnosed, a failure to undertake preventative measures, and a lack of follow-up on test results. Our attorneys work with medical experts in identifying mistakes and errors on the part of doctors and health care providers.

Due to tort reform legislation, a preliminary finding of negligence must first be established before a medical malpractice case can proceed. As your lawyers, we take care of all necessary documentation and paperwork in preparing your case for a preliminary finding.

Fighting for Medical Malpractice Victims, Protecting the Community

A successful medical malpractice lawsuit will compensate the victim and also protect others in the community from future careless medical mistakes and negligence. Our lawyers will seek to prove that the physician’s actions were not in keeping with accepted standards of practice, that he or she failed to exercise reasonable care, that the hospital or facility was in violation of state or federal codes, that medical devices or equipment were defective, or that the staff members were inadequately trained. We will first demonstrate that an error or negligence occurred, and then show how the error directly resulted in your injury.

Our firm has attorneys who in the past worked in prominent insurance defense firms and represented doctors and other medical providers in malpractice cases. Our experience on the defense side make us better advocates for people who have been injured.
