Medical malpractice leaves the victim in much worse shape than before they went to the doctor for healing. An incorrect diagnosis may mean that you suffer through unnecessary, painful, and invasive medical procedures, or that you miss a window of early intervention that could have led to a brighter outcome. Perhaps the scariest instances of medical malpractice are botched surgeries, including operating on the wrong body part or leaving something behind inside the patient. If you have been a victim of a medical error that you believe could have been avoided with proper care by your physician, we want to help you. An experienced Coral Springs, FL, medical malpractice lawyer can help you process what happened to you and explore your legal rights.
At The Andres Lopez Law Firm, we have the medical and legal knowledge necessary to properly pursue your claim for medical malpractice and the resources to take on the most powerful opponents, like hospitals, medical centers, and prestigious doctors. We know that many medical professionals don’t count on patients to fully understand their rights or may mislead you into thinking that your care was the best available. Let us sort our facts from fiction and help you secure the compensation you deserve to get the treatment you need to heal and move forward. Contact The Andres Lopez Law Firm today for a free consultation.
Nurses, doctors, CNAs, and other healthcare professionals are human and do make mistakes. However, all healthcare professionals (and the medical centers in which they treat patients) have a certain standard of care they must provide. When a medical error could have been avoided if the caregiver had proper training supervision or was not negligent, then it crosses the threshold from unfortunate mistake to malpractice. In these cases, the patient who was harmed has the right to seek compensation for all necessary medical treatment and other damages.
Going up against a powerful defendant can be overwhelming, especially as you’re trying to heal and likely undergoing additional medical procedures to correct the malpractice. You need a strong ally, someone who isn’t afraid to stand up to the lawyers and insurance companies that represent neglectful doctors and who knows your rights.
That’s us. We advocate for you in court, arbitration, and mediation and demand the highest possible settlement in your claim.
We identify all liable parties in your medical malpractice case and gather evidence to build a strong case. This includes having a medical expert review your records to identify where and when your care was below the accepted standard. They can testify to a jury how the care they received was not what a typical doctor facing a patient presenting their symptoms would have done. We also gather objective evidence like witness accounts, photos or a video of the procedure, and similar facts. Then, we use our deep knowledge of Florida malpractice laws to present the claim in a Demand Letter to the other side or at trial, in front of a jury. We’re determined to make sure that you receive the money you need to get better medical care and to account for the pain and suffering and emotional trauma medical malpractice patients often suffer.
