Our Medical Malpractice Lawyers Serving Jupiter, FL, Protect Victims’ Rights

As a victim of medical malpractice, you have rights. You can hold the practitioner, facility, and possibly others accountable for the injuries, expenses, and losses you suffered. Our malpractice attorneys will protect your rights and seek maximum compensation for you based on the money you lost and the damages you endured.

The types of recoverable damages in a Florida medical malpractice case could include:

Economic Damages

Medical malpractice can cause a long list of expenses and losses, both now and in the future. These are known as economic damages. By documenting these with receipts, bills, income statements, and other paperwork and evidence, you can seek and recover money for economic damages that include:

• Medical treatment and management of the condition in question
• Future medical care related to malpractice injuries
• Lost income
• Diminished earning capacity if you cannot return to work
• Other related expenses

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are the intangible losses you suffered because of your experience and injuries. This includes physical and psychological pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other significant emotional losses.

Wrongful Death Damages

Unfortunately, some victims pass away from medical malpractice injuries. This is often a direct result of the doctor’s negligent action or inaction. When this occurs, the victim’s surviving family members can recover damages through a Jupiter wrongful death claim. We can even assist you in working with a probate lawyer to name the personal representative and navigate this process.

What Types of Medical Malpractice Cases Does Our Lawyer Accept?

Florida medical malpractice cases are complex. Not only do you not want to try to demand compensation on your own, but you cannot trust all personal injury law firms with these cases, either. Many things can go wrong, especially if you do not navigate this process frequently and are not familiar with the nuances of it.

Trying to negotiate with representatives of hospitals like Jupiter Medical Center or another facility can be quite challenging, but our team has the knowledge, experience, and skill to handle your medical malpractice cases. We know the ways Florida makes this process difficult and how to avoid the common pitfalls when seeking compensation and fighting for justice.

When you hire our team, you can count on us to consult with medical professionals, nurses, specialists, and other experts to support your case. Our vast network includes some of the leading physicians and other medical professionals in the area. Some of the types of medical malpractice cases we frequently handle include:

• Misdiagnosis, which leads to treatment of the wrong condition
• Delayed diagnosis, which prevents victims from getting treatment quickly
• Failure to treat, when the patient receives no treatment despite a diagnosis
• Treatment mistakes, when there are issues with the treatment provided
• Surgical malpractice, which occurs when things go wrong due to negligence during surgery
• Birth injuries, which include injuries that occur just before, during, or after a baby’s birth

Most medical malpractice cases fall into one of these categories. However, there are  other times when a medical care provider or medical facility acts negligently and causes an injury or allows an injury to worsen. Any situation where this occurs could support a case. When a doctor or another provider does not give the expected, acceptable care, this is malpractice. Contact our team to learn more.
