Florida Medical Malpractice Legal Questions

Medical malpractice cases are a high hurdle—they’re expensive to pursue and require meeting strict thresholds before you can even file. That’s likely why multiple attorneys have declined to take your case. A stronger angle may be whether your broken wrist was caused by a third party you could sue directly. Even if there’s a theoretical malpractice claim, the original tortfeasor, the person who caused the broken wrist( if there is one) , would typically be responsible for those damages caused by a negligent doctor. ...

  Dear Ms. Allison, There are many stages to determine if there is a potentially viable Medical Malpractice case. The attorney will need more personal information about you and will need to consider what overall effect any medical error has had on you. Ultimately, medical expert opinion(s) whether the standard of care was breached and if that breach directly caused or contributed to causing you serious and permanent injuries will be necessary. We 1st explore these issues and review records prior to deciding whether to send them out for review by appropriate medical experts free of charge to you. We give free consultations and if we take the case, it would be on a contingent fee basis. These cases have pre-suit requirements and are often very tough and time-consuming. Furthermore, the Statute of Limitation for bringing a complex Medical Malpractice lawsuit is relatively short. It is not possible for me to answer your question other than to suggest that you consult an experienced Medical Malpractice attorney for a deeper dive as I have described. Start this process with a free consultation sooner rather than later. Providing the necessary medical records may help speed up the process for the reviewing attorney. We cannot solicit, so you will have to reach out. Best, Loren L. Gold, Esq. ... Read Answer

Possibly but not likely. Chicken bones are notoriously soft and unlikely to do any real damage to human teeth unless the human tooth was already bad, fractured or compromised. This is why you cant feed dogs chicken as they swallow the meat bones and all because the bones are so soft, and they get stuck in thier throat causing them to choke. You can still make a claim to Tyson as the worst they can do is deny the claim. Just don't get your hopes up or plan  that they will pay for dental care. You can always seek out a personal injury lawyer to review facts and dental records to get a proper determination.... Read Answer

Possibly, but you will not likely find a lawyer to take such a case on a contingent fee. Especially if you post is accurate and that you fell asleep a second time at the IHOP with the marker incident. It is also critical to determine WHY you are "falling asleep" at the IHOP at such a level that you are unaware of the events you describe when they occur. If this is the result of substance abuse issues, that might make any claims you might make that much more difficult to address from a variety of reasons. You should still try to runt this by any consumer or personal injury lawyers in your area to get a formal assessment of the circumstances. ... Read Answer

There is no general "help with pain and suffering" as a result of having a disease or surgical intervention. That is simply part of the process and package of such unfortunate situations. You can check with local legal aid for finaincial and emotional support groups and resources that might be available. If there is some concern about medical malpractice having occurred - you will need to have this reviewed by an attorney ASAP as there are very short statutes of limitation on such cases. ...

No way to answer that other than dental malpractice cases cost too much to pursue in expert fees vs. the financial value and in many instances have problematic complications. You will need to hire a dental expert at your expense to gather and review the records and provide an expert opinion as to malpractice. In the meantime, you have some potential statute of limitations issues under Fla. Stat. 766 and 95.11 you will need to address with a lawyer you retain ASAP. ... Read Answer

This is not a medical mal case as described. You simply have a doctor with an opinion you disagree with. You will need to find the means to secure an opinion supporting your view or possibly spend the money to retain a lawyer to immmediately intervene with DMV and secure an expert opinion to assess the first doctors position. ...

I hope that you are improving. There are issues beyond the action during surgery including potential failures afterward, that must be addressed to determine whether you have a viable Medical Malpractice case.

This is NOT your fight. This is an issue for the bio-parent to address with thier family law lawyer. YOUR involvement is likely to simply escalate the issue into a controversy the bio-parents will have to sort out. You should encourage your spouse to retain a qualified family law lawyer to address any such allegations through the court. Trying to get DCF/CPS to intervene as a cheap alternative is generally going to backfire.... Read Answer
