    Do I Need to Hire a Bonita Springs Medical Malpractice Lawyer for My Case?

    Medical malpractice cases are often complex and involve numerous procedural matters. An insurance company that covers healthcare providers and medical facilities is always represented by aggressive and skilled legal teams who are motivated to pay as little as possible. This means that they will aggressively challenge a medical malpractice claim and may even engage in manipulative tactics to minimize your injuries, reduce your damages, or deny your claim. If a claim cannot be settled out of court, legal action may be necessary to pursue the compensation you deserve. Medical negligence, which occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care and causes harm to a patient, is the basis for most medical malpractice claims.

    Handling your medical malpractice case on your own can leave you vulnerable to any number of mistakes that can prevent a successful outcome. While you are not required by the law to hire an attorney to represent you, doing so can significantly increase your chances of recovering the fair compensation you deserve. Our firm has extensive experience handling medical malpractice claims and other cases involving personal injury law. We are committed to providing dedicated advocacy and personalized service to our clients throughout every stage of the legal process.

    Compensation for Medical Malpractice

    If you were the victim of medical malpractice, you are entitled to damages that can include economic losses, such as:

    • 80% of wage loss and loss of earning capacity
    • Lost income
    • Past and future medical expenses

    You may also be entitled to non-economic damages, such as:

    • Pain and suffering
    • Physical impairment
    • Disfigurement
    • Mental anguish
    • Loss of enjoyment of life

    And other losses.

    Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, so you do not pay legal fees unless you recover compensation.

    How Can a Bonita Springs Medical Malpractice Attorney Help?

Because of this, you must seek legal representation from an experienced Bonita Springs medical malpractice attorney at Parker Waichman LLP as soon as possible. Our firm is dedicated to our clients, ensuring their needs are prioritized throughout the legal process. We are committed to providing the best representation in medical malpractice cases.

    When you hire a medical malpractice attorney on our legal team, they can help by:

    • Investigating the incident
    • Reviewing your medical records
    • Consulting with medical experts to uncover the truth, accurately calculate
    • Negotiating a fair settlement
    • Filing a lawsuit on your behalf if settlement negotiations are not successful
    • Representing you in court

    Consulting With Medical Experts

    To confirm you have a valid claim, you are required to consult an expert medical practitioner. Obtaining an expert opinion in the form of an affidavit regarding each defendant is part of the investigation process. This opinion must support that medical malpractice took place.

    Notice of a Medical Malpractice Claim

    When you hire a medical malpractice lawyer at Parker Waichman LLP, they will conduct an in-depth investigation to determine if there is evidence of malpractice. They will also work tirelessly to identify all liable parties, to hold each party accountable for the harm you have suffered. Once your medical malpractice attorney in Bonita Springs has identified all liable parties, they will notify each party of your intent to sue. After the notice is sent, you must wait ninety days before you can file your medical malpractice lawsuit, which will give the defendants time to conduct an investigation. During this time, the defendants can make settlement offers or requests to arbitrate or mediate the claim.

    What is the Statute Of Limitations for Medical Malpractice in Florida?

    In Florida, there is a statute of limitations of two years from the date of discovery of the injury. This means that the individual will have two years from the day they first learned that malpractice may have occurred, to file a lawsuit. Our firm also serves clients in Fort Myers and has extensive experience handling medical malpractice cases in the Fort Myers area. Because of this, it’s important to seek legal representation as soon as possible. Two years may seem like a long time, but obtaining legal representation immediately following the discovery of medical malpractice can give your attorney sufficient time to investigate your case. If you fail to file within the statute of limitations, your case may be dismissed and you will be unable to recover compensation. When you work with a medical malpractice lawyer at Parker Waichman LLP, they will handle every aspect of your case, including ensuring your lawsuit is filed on time.
