When you or a loved one is in need of medical treatment, you place tremendous personal trust in your doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers. You trust they will provide you with the most up-to-date and appropriate care that is available to treat your specific illness.
You trust they will not provide substandard care and certainly not care that makes your condition worse. Unfortunately, every year more Americans die as a result of medical malpractice than die in automobile accidents.
We have been handling medical malpractice claims throughout the country since 1955 and have earned a reputation as one of the most successful law firms in the nation, winning more than $40 billion dollars in jury verdicts and settlements.
Our law office is located in downtown Pensacola, and our forty attorneys live in the Pensacola community. We have handled more medical malpractice claims in Northwest Florida for injured patients than any other law firm.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to deliver the level of care that is keeping with accepted medical practices and procedures. The error can result from a hospital, physician, nurse, pharmacist, technician or anyone else involved in the chain of providing healthcare.Common Forms of Medical Malpractice
In a Florida medical malpractice action, damages include past and future physical pain and suffering; mental pain and suffering; medical expenses; wage loss; and loss of the ability to earn income.
If you were married at the time the malpractice occurred, then your spouse is entitled to loss of consortium damages; which is the loss of services, assistance, aid, and companionship of the injured spouse.
If the malpractice results in death, then a wrongful death claim is filed. The damages in this type of case include medical and funeral expenses; mental pain and suffering for the surviving spouse and minor children; loss of support; and loss of future estate.
If the healthcare provider acted in an intentional or reckless manner, you also might be entitled to recover punitive damages.
