Medical Malpractice Attorney
Medical malpractice results when a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional causes injury or death because they failed to provide reasonable care. The damage suffered can vary, spanning every imaginable medical service from prenatal health to end of life care.
What is Medical Malpractice?
Every industry includes good and bad – people who do their best to provide quality service and those who don’t. Even the most professional and well-intentioned person can make a mistake from time to time. Unfortunately, the healthcare industry isn’t immune to this human component, and sometimes very bad things can happen. In Florida, more people die each year from medical malpractice than other, more publicized causes of death such as car accidents. The sad thing is that many who are victims of medical malpractice don’t realize that they received poor care, and those who do often struggle to hold the healthcare professionals liable. If you suspect that you or a loved one was injured or killed because of medical malpractice, you need a Florida medical malpractice lawyer who understands these often complex issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s my car accident case worth?
Insurers may calculate damages arising car accidents in many different ways. An experienced attorney can help you estimate your losses arising from medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
What if my car is hit by an uninsured driver?
If you have purchased uninsured motorist coverage from your insurance carrier, you can usually file a claim for medical expenses and property damage arising from an accident with an uninsured driver.
What evidence do you need to pursue a car accident lawsuit?
Many sources of information can become valuable evidence following a car accident. Photographs of the damage, statements from eyewitnesses, and police or DMV reports can all be relevant to your case.
What if an insurance company unreasonably refuses to settle a claim?
Though state laws vary, insurers must generally act in good faith toward those making claims on a policy. Signs of bad faith include delayed responses to claims, and denying claims without explanation.
Do I need a car accident lawyer?

When you have been injured in a car accident, legally responsible parties can include not just other drivers, but vehicle owners, employers, car manufacturers, property owners, and government entities.

Car accidents can result in a variety of injuries, many of which may seem insignificant at first. Cuts, broken bones, soft tissue injuries, whiplash, and head injuries can all result in substantial damages.
Drunk and Impaired Driving
In addition to facing criminal charges, drunk drivers can be held liable in civil court for injuries they cause, and plaintiffs suing them civilly are subject to a lower standard of proof than in criminal cases.
