It is never the intention of doctors, nurses, or other medical personnel to cause injury or death to their patients, but mistakes are made every day and therefore the medical standard of care was not met. In the State of Florida, thousands of people die every year from medical malpractice. Unfortunately, in most cases, the injured person and their loved ones were unaware that something went wrong.

Medical malpractice occurs when a member of the medical community fails to act reasonably or performs a procedure, treatment, or renders care that another medical professional would not reasonably have done and their patient is injured or killed.

We work hard to ensure that every client is fairly compensated for the damages they have sustained. Compensation may cover medical bills, rehabilitation costs, costs associated with disability, lost wages, and emotional distress. We know how difficult it is to deal with medical malpractice cases, and we are committed to being there for you.
Florida law allows for economic damages, as the name suggests compensation for financial losses associated with suffering an injury such as medical expenses, loss wages and the loss of ability to earn income in the future.
Florida law allows recovery for non-economic damages including pain and suffering, mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life.
The last type of damages, punitive, differs from the first two in that their main purpose is the punish the negligent party rather than compensate the injured party. As such they are not often awarded.
If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of medical malpractice, you may be entitled to compensation. This compensation is critical to ensuring you have the resources you need to fully recover and move forward. It is also important that healthcare providers are held accountable for their actions.
