If you sustained a serious injury as a consequence of medical malpractice, our law firm will help you recover the compensation you deserve and hold the negligent party responsible for their actions.
Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider, such as a doctor or a nurse, fails to provide the standard of care to the patient, resulting in harm, injury, or even death. In order for it to be considered malpractice, the negligence must have directly caused harm that would not have occurred under appropriate medical care.

Even though the majority of medical professionals try to do their best in treating their patients, medical malpractice due to negligence still occurs. Medical malpractice takes place when the actions of a healthcare provider, facility, physician, or nurse fall below or deviate from the appropriate standard of care and cause an injury to the patient.
Medical malpractice cases can be a result of diagnostic errors, surgical errors, or medication errors. With over 20 years of professional experience, our law firm has successfully handled and obtained financial compensation for all types of medical malpractice cases, including:
Misdiagnosis, one of the most frequent medical malpractice cases, occurs every day in Florida. It entails a person going to a hospital with distressing symptoms and the medical professionals working in the hospital failing to recognize the condition of the patient, which is often a medical emergency. Therefore, numerous people are sent home with a wrong diagnosis or, even worse, are told they are fine when, in fact, they are experiencing a life-threatening condition.
Oftentimes, the medical professionals working in the emergency room are too busy, as they have to deal with a lot of patients at a time, and are thus not carefully listening to what the patient is saying. Consequently, they quickly conclude that the individual has a certain problem without taking the medical investigation a step further and looking at all the possibilities. If proper healthcare measures were applied, doctors and nurses would properly diagnose patients and, when they could not figure out what their condition is, they would order additional tests until a correct diagnosis is assigned.
Once you acknowledge you were injured because of the negligence of one or multiple medical professionals, we strongly advise you to contact our law firm as soon as possible. We will promptly review your situation and decide whether you have a case worth pursuing.
If you do have a case, you will only need to provide our medical malpractice attorney with documents that prove your injury, such as medical records, and we will take over from there.
Our legal experts will investigate every aspect of your case, and we will strive to recover the maximum amount of compensation you are eligible for from the party whose negligence caused your injuries.
It is important to know that we work on a contingency fee. Therefore, you will not be required to pay us anything unless we obtain compensation from the party at fault on your behalf. Afterward, we will keep between 34% and 40% of your financial compensation in exchange for our legal services.
