    Our Florida Medical Malpractice Attorneys Fight for Fair Compensation

    You depend on various healthcare professionals to keep you healthy and address whatever health problems arise in a timely and competent manner. If they fail to do so, our Florida medical malpractice lawyers can fight for justice in the form of financial compensation.

    You deserve compensation for damages such as:

    • Pain and suffering: Your physical and emotional distress could qualify you for compensation. Proving intangible suffering can be difficult, but our medical injury lawyers know how to do so.
    • Disability: Did your injury result in a temporary or permanent loss of function? Let Rosenberg & Rosenberg seek compensation for such a debilitating injury.
    • Reduced quality of life: If your injuries prevent you from living life the way you did before, you could be entitled to damages.
    • Medical bills: Medical negligence could require you to seek care elsewhere to address both your original condition and the malpractice-related injury.
    • Loss of wages: If you are temporarily unable to work, our Florida attorneys can seek reimbursement for the income and job benefits you should have earned.
    • Loss of earning capacity: A permanent inability to work could entitle you to damages for the money you would have earned in the future but now cannot.

    What Is Your Medical Malpractice Case Worth?

    Our lawyers in Florida can answer that question by collecting evidence from as many different sources as possible, including:

    • Your medical records
    • Expert testimony
    • Testimony from your friends and family
    • Photos of your injuries

    Per Florida Statutes § 95.11, your case’s worth also depends on your ability to file a claim within the legal deadline: failure to act could mean you do not recover compensation. The deadline in malpractice cases can be confusing, so do not hesitate to reach out to our personal injury attorneys with questions.

    What Kinds of Medical Negligence Cases Do We Take?

    Rosenberg & Rosenberg handles all kinds of medical malpractice cases, including but not limited to:

    • Failure to warn patients of potential risks
    • Misdiagnosis or late diagnosis
    • Contaminated instruments
    • Birth injuries
    • Failure to diagnose
    • Nurse negligence
    • Pharmacy errors
    • Prescription errors
    • Anesthesia errors
    • Improper treatment
    • Surgical errors
    • Wrong-site surgery

    Rosenberg & Rosenberg may file a medical malpractice lawsuit against one or multiple providers for such errors, or we may sue an entire healthcare institution. It depends on how your injury occurred.

    For example, if your child’s birth injury was caused by substandard medical care from a single doctor, our Florida birth injury lawyers can confront that doctor. If the negligent doctor was acting in accordance with the hospital’s standard operating procedures, then we could potentially sue both the doctor and the hospital.

    Let Our Lawyers Take On the Insurance Companies So You Can Recover

    Medical professionals and hospitals are quick to deny liability and may attempt to hide behind liability waivers and other documents meant to prevent claims from being filed against them. However, if you were obviously injured as a direct result of their negligence, you deserve to be compensated.

    Doctors and surgeons maycan have their licenses revoked if they are found guilty of malpractice, which is why they may fight aggressively against your claim. An equally aggressive attorney from our firm can ensure that you recover the full amount of your damages so that you can focus on recovering from your injuries.

    What to Watch Out for When Speaking to Florida Insurance Companies

    Your doctor likely has insurance that is responsible for paying out injury claims based on medical errors. The insurer might try to take advantage of your pain and confusion by:

    • Offering a fast settlement that does not meet your needs
    • Refusing to negotiate or to respond to your communications
    • Asking you to record a statement about your injury

    The malpractice attorneys at Rosenberg & Rosenberg have extensive experience countering tactics like these. We can do so on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you pay no attorneys’ fees until we win your case.

    Our attorneys recommend that you say as little as possible to the insurer until you have had a chance to consult with us. We can handle all communications with the insurer and other parties on your behalf, protecting you from their attempts to use your own words against you.
