Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider fails to deliver the standard of care expected, resulting in harm to the patient. This can include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and more. Understanding the intricacies of medical negligence is crucial for building a strong case, and that's where our expertise shines.

These distinctions highlight our dedication to excellence and our unwavering commitment to justice.
One of the most critical aspects of a medical negligence case is understanding the statute of limitations. In Florida, you typically have two years from the date of the incident or discovery of the injury to file a claim. However, there are exceptions, such as cases involving fraud or concealment by the healthcare provider, which can extend this period. It's essential to consult with our experienced attorneys as soon as possible to ensure your case is filed within the appropriate timeframe.
What Evidence is Needed to Prove Medical Negligence?
To successfully prove medical negligence, you'll need to establish that a duty of care was owed, the duty was breached, the breach caused injury, and the injury led to damages. This requires comprehensive evidence, including medical records, expert testimony, and detailed documentation of your injuries and their impact on your life. Our attorneys are skilled at gathering and presenting this evidence effectively.
How Long Will My Case Take?
The duration of a medical negligence case can vary widely, depending on the complexity of the case and the willingness of the parties to settle. Some cases are resolved within months, while others may take several years. Rest assured, our team at MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers will keep you informed every step of the way and work diligently to achieve a timely resolution.
What Compensation Can I Expect?
Compensation in medical negligence cases can cover a wide range of damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. The amount will depend on the specifics of your case, including the severity of your injuries and their long-term impact. Our attorneys will fight to ensure you receive the maximum compensation you deserve.
