A personal injury is defined by the law as an injury sustained in an accident or other incident and that results directly from the negligence, recklessness or wrongdoing of another person. This injury can be either physical or psychological in nature. The damages suffered by the victim may entitle him or her to file a claim in civil court against the liable party, resulting in the justice and compensation that person desires.

The worth of your personal injury case greatly depends upon the nature of the accident, the extent of injury, and even the intentions of the responsible party. A lawyer is equipped to review your case, determine the value, as well as pursue the full amount through a claim or lawsuit in civil court.

Under Florida law, close family members or representatives of a person’s estate are entitled to take action against the party whose negligent conduct led to wrongful death. In these situations, the entitled party may be able to bring those responsible to justice and also recover financial compensation. These monetary damages are typically used to cover the costs of funeral expenses, medical bills, loss of companionship, and more.

Medical Malpractice is a doctor’s failure to exercise the degree of care and skill that a physician or surgeon of the same medical specialty would use under similar circumstances. When medical “standards” are not followed, it is also known as med mal. A lawyer that knows about medical problems & medical laws is needed to help a claim reach the courts in the fastest, accurate, and most complete way possible. A medical malpractice lawyer will work with the hospital system & medical law system to find out what your rights and legal options are. While you or someone you know gets better or recovers from your medical mistake or injury, the medical malpractice attorney will fight for your legal rights.

This question is asked by numerous people. Health care providers are not given a license to commit malpractice simply because a consent form was filled out by a patient. Despite the fact that the execution of a characteristic consent form specifies acknowledgment of the stated risks and complications in conjunction with a given treatment or operation, it doesn’t relieve a health care provider from their responsibility of meeting the standard of care in association with such treatment or operations.

Medical Malpractice cases are very complicated and very expensive to pursue. Make sure that you select a firm with sufficient financial resources to aggressively pursue your medical malpractice claim.

Medical malpractice, simply put, occurs when your medical provider deviates from the normal standard of care. Medical providers are required to exercise reasonable care in accordance with the standards of care for the profession involved. If a doctor, surgeon, hospital, or other medical provider acts, or fails to act, in a manner that deviates from the accepted standard of care, then that provider may be liable for an injured person’s damages. Though the majority of health care providers do good work, mistakes are sometimes made which could adversely affect a person, as well as their family and friends, for the rest of their lives.
