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

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.

Compensation for Medical Malpractice

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

  • 80% of wage loss and loss of earning capacity
  • Past and future medical costs

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.

How Can a Bonita Springs Medical Malpractice Attorney Help?

If you suffered injuries due to medical malpractice, you may be entitled to compensation. Unfortunately, medical professionals and hospitals often employ large legal teams that will go above and beyond to minimize a claim and avoid accepting liability.

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.

Once your Bonita Springs medical malpractice attorney 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.

In Florida, there is a statute of limitations of two years from the date of discovery of the injury.

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.
