Why do you Need a Carrollwood Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Medical malpractice claims are some of the most complicated legal claims you can become involved in because you need to show:
- How your doctor or care provider fell short of the standard of care
- How you were damaged specifically as a result of their failure, rather than by the underlying medical condition.
Often, this means you need expert witnesses as well as a lawyer with a true understanding of the medical issues involved in your case.
An experienced Carrollwood medical malpractice attorney can also do other important tasks, including helping you to identify all of the defendants in your claim, since you may be able to pursue a case not just against the provider but also the care facility that employs your provider. Clinics and care facilities may be liable under vicarious liability laws, and pursuing a claim against them helps ensure there’s enough insurance to pay for all your losses..
Getting legal help allows you to address these issues, build a strong claim, and maximize your chances of fully recovering compensation for the damage that your doctor caused you to endure.
Types of Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can happen in any type of healthcare setting, from hospitals like AdventHealth Carrollwood Hospital or nearby Tampa hospitals to local clinics in the Carrollwood area.
Unfortunately, many things can also go wrong when you’re being treated, leading to different types of malpractice, including:
- Failure to diagnose or delayed diagnosis
- Misdiagnosis of a medical condition
- Surgical errors
- Medication errors
- Lab errors
- Botched procedures
- Birth injuries
- Anesthesia errors
- Failure to obtain informed consent
When you make a malpractice claim, you will need to understand what your doctor or care provider was supposed to do and how they fell short in fulfilling their obligations. It is up to you to prove that the care you received fell below the professional standard and that means you need the right expert witnesses, the right records, and solid legal arguments.
A Carrollwood medical malpractice lawyer at Diaco Law will work with you to gather your medical file, to find trusted experts who can explain what went wrong, and to maximize your chances of winning your claim.
How Can You Find a Carrollwood Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Although there are many malpractice attorneys you can work with, not every lawyer has the skill, experience, and background necessary to help you fight for justice. You should find an attorney who:
- Understands the complexities of malpractice claims. At Diaco Law Firm, you have an attorney with a medical degree involved in every aspect of your claim, so no technical details are missed.
- Has a history of successful claims. Diaco Law has many positive client reviews from patients who were victims of malpractice, and we have recovered millions of dollars for our patients from negligent doctors, hospitals, and clinics.
- Cares about you. You don’t want to be just another number. At Diaco Law, we provide personalized attention. If you have a question or need support, your lawyer will be there to answer.
Has litigation and negotiation experience. Some malpractice claims are resolved outside of court, but insurers don’t always make fair settlement offers. Our firm has stood up to some of the biggest malpractice insurers and hospitals in the Carrollwood area, and insurers take us seriously as they know we have the knowledge to understand what your case is worth. We’re also experienced litigants, so we can go the distance and fight in court if necessary.
How can Diaco Law Help you?
Diaco Law will be there from day one to help you with every step of your malpractice claim, including:
- Gathering evidence
- Getting the right experts
- Identifying those responsible for harming you
- Proving the extent of your loss
- Negotiating a settlement, as medical malpractice insurers often try to pay as little as possible to injured victims
- Pursuing your medical malpractice claim in court by the statute of limitations if your care provider’s malpractice insurer is unwilling to make a settlement offer that provides you with full compensation.
Diaco Law is uniquely qualified to represent you in malpractice cases both because we have a very long history of helping our clients recover compensation in these claims and because members of our legal team have both a medical and legal background, as well as JD and MD degrees. This means we have unique insight and a deep understanding of your claim that many other firms lack.
