At MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers, we represent individuals and families who have suffered due to medical negligence.

If you or a loved one has been harmed by a healthcare provider’s mistake, you need a Tampa medical malpractice attorney who will fight for justice and maximum compensation.

What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional deviates from the accepted standard of care, causing injury or death. Not every bad outcome is malpractice, but when negligence is involved, legal action may be warranted. Common examples include:

  • Failure to obtain informed consent before a procedure
  • Medication errors, including incorrect prescriptions or dosages
  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, leading to worsened conditions
  • Birth injuries caused by improper fetal monitoring or delivery techniques
  • Surgical errors, such as wrong-site surgery or leaving surgical instruments inside the patient

Proving malpractice requires evidence that the provider acted negligently and that the negligence directly caused harm. This is why having an experienced Tampa medical malpractice attorney is crucial to building a strong case.

Questions to Ask a Medical Malpractice Attorney

Not all attorneys have the experience or resources necessary to handle complex malpractice claims. When choosing legal representation, consider asking:

  • Have you handled cases similar to mine before?
  • What is your track record of verdicts and settlements?
  • How do you structure legal fees for malpractice cases?
  • Will my case go to trial, or do you aim for settlements?
  • Do you work with medical experts to strengthen cases?

MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers has been regionally ranked by US News and World Report as a Best Law Firm in Medical Malpractice Law. Our extensive knowledge and experience allow us to take on hospitals, insurance companies, and high-powered defense teams with confidence.

Our Contingency Fee Basis for Payment

One of the biggest concerns for victims of medical malpractice is the cost of legal representation. At MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers, we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case, ensuring that you can pursue justice without financial risk. This allows our clients to focus on their recovery while we handle the legal complexities.

How Long Do You Have to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit in Florida?

Florida law imposes strict deadlines on medical malpractice claims. Generally, you have two years from the date the malpractice was discovered (or should have been discovered) to file a lawsuit. However, there are exceptions, such as cases involving minors or fraud. Consulting with a Tampa medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible ensures that your case is filed within the appropriate time frame.

What Damages Can You Recover in a Medical Malpractice Case?

A successful claim can provide compensation for:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Medical expenses (past, present, and future)
  • Loss of companionship in wrongful death cases

Since every case is unique, damages vary based on the severity of harm and long-term impact on the victim’s life. Our firm meticulously calculates damages to pursue the full compensation you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Malpractice

How Do I Know if I Have a Valid Medical Malpractice Claim?

If a healthcare provider’s mistake caused you significant harm, you may have a claim. A Tampa medical malpractice attorney can review your case and determine if negligence occurred.

What if I Signed a Consent Form Before My Procedure?

Signing a consent form does not waive your right to file a claim if negligence occurred. Consent forms acknowledge known risks, but they do not excuse errors like misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, or failure to provide appropriate care.

Can I Sue a Hospital for Malpractice?

Yes. If hospital policies, negligent staff, or lack of proper training contributed to your injury, the hospital may be liable for damages.

What Happens if My Case Goes to Trial?

If a fair settlement is not reached, we will take your case to court. Our trial attorneys are skilled litigators with a proven record of success in securing favorable verdicts.
