Medical Malpractice

The Trial Lawyers at The Ferraro Law Firm

Did you lose a loved one because a doctor failed to diagnose a fatal disease?
Were you injured due to a surgical mistake?
Did your child suffer permanent injuries because of a delivery mistakes?

Every new doctor promises to "do no harm" when they pledge to follow the Hippocratic Oath. Unfortunately, that's not always what happens in today's complex medical environment. Medical errors are the eighth leading cause of death in the United States. In Florida alone, hundreds of hospital patients die each year as a result of preventable medical malpractice.

Not every bad medical result is considered malpractice. Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider fails to follow accepted medical practices for a given medical specialty or procedure. Doctors aren’t the only source of medical errors. Hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and nursing homes can all be liable for medical errors that result in serious injury or wrongful death.

If you have been seriously injured by your care provider, one of the most difficult choices you will have to make is whether to pursue a medical malpractice claim. Most of us look up to medical professionals and hesitate to sue the doctors or hospitals that provided your care. Medical malpractice cases are also highly complex cases, requiring proof of negligence on the part of the medical practitioner.

Our lawyers have a track record of successfully taking on large insurance companies, recovering millions of dollars in compensation for our most seriously injured clients. An experienced legal team will work closely with you to review all the medical records, meet with expert witnesses and lay the groundwork to clearly establish that the resulting injury or death was a direct result of the medical error.
