Depending on how severe your injuries were and whether the negligence of a medical professional resulted in your death, you or your family may be entitled either to economic, non-economic, or punitive damages.
MEDICAL EXPENSES
This includes all past and future medical expenses such as ER visits, doctor’s appointments, and others.
LOST WAGES AND EARNING CAPACITY
You could be eligible for compensation if your injury forces you to take a time-out from work or prevents you from returning to work.
PAIN AND SUFFERING
This refers to the amount of physical pain and suffering you have suffered from your injuries. The extent of your injuries will determine the severity and type.

Here are three things you should look out for when choosing an attorney to meet your needs.
Although it may seem obvious, it is important to verify the credentials of any medical malpractice lawyers you are considering. Do they have the financial and human resources necessary to handle this type of case?
Florida is a highly specialized state in medical malpractice. Personal injury cases that involve planes, trains, or automobiles are not able to be filed at the same time as personal injury cases. You must ensure that you comply with all laws to protect doctors from lawsuits. Otherwise, your case could be dismissed. Your case must be reviewed by an expert and that expert must sign an affidavit. After that, the entire pre-suit process must be completed. A good medical malpractice lawyer will be able to help you navigate the legal maze and get your case to court.
This is an important question. These types of experts are extremely valuable, so we recommend looking for the best-qualified firms. You can be sure that the expert handling your case is reliable and stable.
Patients who have been seriously injured by medical malpractice can be advocates for themselves and learn about the process and requirements. They can seek damages awards and settlements to pay their medical bills and compensate for lost income.
In any medical malpractice lawsuit, both the plaintiff and their medical malpractice attorney need to establish the following elements.
Not all of the elements listed above must be present in order to bring a medical negligence lawsuit. After the plaintiff’s medical malpractice attorney files a case, the discovery process starts. This is when both sides share relevant information about the case, such as medical records or patient histories.
