Seeking Compensation in Catastrophic Medical Malpractice Cases

To keep our clients in center focus and feeling confident in their cases as they develop, Gunn Law Group, P.A. only accepts a limited number of medical malpractice cases at any given time. We do not clutter our desks with cases and risk distracting us from providing the attention your case deserves. Furthermore, we only accept cases that involve catastrophic injuries, such as incorrect amputations, preventable brain damage, or patient deaths.

Most other law firms stay away from such cases due to their complexity and difficulty, but we are proud to fill that niche by taking on high-stakes claims filed against major insurance companies and medical groups. No matter who is representing the opposition, we will be ready for whatever they can throw our way. Our medical malpractice lawyers in Florida will fight for your total compensation after being inexcusably injured or neglected by your medical provider.

Compensation that may be available in your medical malpractice claim includes:

• Costs associated with your past medical care
• Cost of future medical care necessary due to your injuries
• Wages lost or reduced due to missing work
• Pain and suffering you have experienced

Three Important Elements of Medical Malpractice Claims

We do not sugarcoat anything here at Gunn Law Group, P.A. because we believe it is crucial to always be open and honest with our clients. With that said, you should know that medical malpractice claims are more difficult than just about any other type of personal injury claim.

You cannot file a claim simply because your doctor did something you did not like or did not do something you would have preferred. There needs to be a clear, convincing preponderance of evidence that proves your medical provider committed medical malpractice as defined by liability law.

There are three elements to a viable medical malpractice claim:

• A healthcare provider and patient relationship gives rise to a duty on the part of the hospital, doctor or other provider to provide service that conform to the standard of care for that provider. Essentially, the care must meet the generally accepted practice standards under the circumstances.
• The healthcare provider breaches or violates the applicable standard of care owed to the patient.
• The violation causes injury to the patient that includes legal damages such as additional medical bills, lost wages, and pain, suffering, disfigurement and other “human” losses.
