Medical Malpractice Lawyer Broward County, FL

Few personal injury cases are more painful and tragic than medical malpractice cases. From being diagnosed with a disease you don’t have (and being subject to painful, unnecessary procedures) to the horror of having the wrong part of your body operated on, medical malpractice victims suffer both physically and emotionally. We’re here to help. If you did not receive the standard level of care expected of a medical professional, then you have the right to demand compensation for all your current and future medical needs, plus your other losses. A Broward County, FL, medical malpractice lawyer can help you learn more about your options.

At The Andres Lopez Law Firm, we believe that doctors and other medical professionals should help, not harm. When one abandons their responsibility to provide the best possible care for their patient, or when oversight or lack of care directly harms a patient, we believe that they should be held responsible, including paying for the treatment needed to rectify their mistake. Our tough team of litigators combines compassion with impressive knowledge of the law and medicine, so we’re in the position to achieve the best possible outcome for your claim.

A Broward County Medical Malpractice Lawyer Protects Your Rights

Legally speaking, medical malpractice is the failure of a medical professional (doctor, nurse, anesthesiologist, CNA, etc.) or healthcare facility (hospital or long-term care home) to provide the standard level of care expected of someone in their position. The standard level of care would be what an average medical professional would do with a patient like you, presenting your symptoms in your situation (such as cancer symptoms or in a medical emergency). Deviation from that standard of care, such as not running the right law or making an avoidable surgical error, is considered malpractice, and the person committing it can be liable for the patient’s harm.

You have the right to demand fair compensation for your damages, and it’s our job to help you achieve this. We build a strong negligence case, naming all possible defendants (including the facility you were treated at) and collecting evidence to prove negligence. We have vast resources to prove our claim, including empirical experts who can testify about how your treating physician’s care fell short of the accepted standard.

Compensation Available In Medical Malpractice Claims

A medical malpractice lawsuit is the legal vehicle by which victims can secure compensation for damages. Your suit may include the cost of the medical treatment for your initial complaint, plus the treatment necessary to correct the malpractice harm. This may include surgery, physical or occupational therapy, or specialist care.

You probably missed work, both from the initial illness and for your recovery, and we demand the full amount of your lost wages and, if applicable, loss of earning potential if your injuries impacted your career.

We don’t overlook the emotional toll that being a malpractice victim takes. Severe pain and suffering, debilitating emotional trauma, and a loss of enjoyment of life may be harder to quantify than medical bills, but they do have value, and we seek a fair amount of compensation for those, too.
