Florida Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Fiercely Protecting Victims of Medical Negligence in FL

When a medical provider acts negligently and lets their duty to protect their patients slip, the mistakes they make can and often do have devastating consequences. A minor surgery ends in a catastrophe. A curable disease goes undiagnosed until it becomes a death sentence.

A simple infection improperly cared for takes a limb. The wrong medication results in irreversible organ damage. Far too often, patients and their families are confused and wonder how things could have gone so horribly wrong.

At Gunn Law Group, P.A., our Florida medical malpractice attorneys strive to answer the pivotal question: “Why did this happen?” If the answer is unacceptable and egregious negligence led to catastrophic harm to a patient, our attorneys become powerful voices for justice.

Taking Complex Cases Other Law Firms Won’t

Medical malpractice cases involve not only complex issues of medicine and patient care but also are subject to uniquely intricate statutes and laws. At Gunn Law Group, P.A., our attorneys have the experience and understanding necessary to navigate both the medicine and the law behind each case.

We also have the resources required to match the vigorous defense mounted by medical providers and their insurers. This includes Attorney Lee Gunn’s experience in the 1990’s representing hospitals along with the firm’s access to knowledgeable, respected and credible expert witnesses.

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.

Our medical malpractice lawyers in Florida will fight for your total compensation after being inexcusably injured or neglected by your medical provider.

• 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.
