Medical malpractice is a leading cause of death and serious injury in the United States, and it is tragic when it occurs. Doctors and healthcare providers are expected to help, not harm, their patients, and they must be held accountable when they fall short because of negligence or wrongdoing.

We’ve not only tried hundreds of malpractice cases and helped negotiate settlements in even more, but members of our legal team even have medical degrees, so we can understand the ins and outs of every case.
If you or someone you love has been harmed by medical malpractice, you need to reach out today to a Temple Terrace medical malpractice lawyer. You have a limited time to take action, and you need to begin gathering evidence right away to build a strong claim.

Proving your medical malpractice claim
To take legal action for medical malpractice, you must show:
- A doctor or care provider had a legal obligation to you
- Your provider’s acts or omissions fell short of what a similarly trained physician exercising reasonable competence would have done in the same circumstances
- You suffered harm as a result of your care provider’s lack of professionalism and negligent care
- You have been damaged and deserve to be compensated for your losses
Some types of malpractice, such as leaving a surgical instrument in a patient or operating on the wrong person, are so clearly negligent that your claim becomes easy to prove. In other situations, however, you may face challenges in showing both how your doctor fell short and in proving their poor care was the cause of your harm and not your underlying illness.
Diaco Law is uniquely qualified to handle even these tough claims because of the medical backgrounds of those on our legal team. We truly understand the obligations doctors have, and we can put together the most compelling possible case when something goes wrong.
What can a Temple Terrace medical malpractice lawyer do for you?
At Diaco Law, our Temple Terrace medical malpractice lawyers will help you to build a strong claim from day one to maximize your chances of compensation. We can:
- Identify all parties who are to blame. Often, you’ll want to take action not just against the doctor but also against the hospital or clinic where your care provider worked. The facility can be held liable under vicarious liability laws or for its own negligence, and may have more insurance coverage to provide full compensation.
- Build a strong claim. We’ll gather medical records, find experts to testify about what went wrong, and make your claim as solid as possible to maximize your recovery.
- Negotiate a settlement. We are not afraid to stand up to big medical malpractice insurance companies and large local hospitals to make them pay what you deserve and to help you get compensated without the time or stress involved in going to court
- Litigate your case. When a trial is necessary, we have the courtroom experience needed to present a compelling claim and maximize your chances of a win.
These are just some of the many ways in which our firm brings our experience and skill to your case to help you get justice.
