I was very pleased with the work of Mr. Panter in handling my case. From the very beginning, he sat down with me and explained the case to me, and how the judicial system works. He explained to me all the legal fees involved, his expenses, and the expected costs to carry out my case. There was total transparency on his firm. Mr. Panter explained to me the case, made sure understood all the issues, before obtaining consent to proceed with the case. He educated me on his education, training and experience, and his experience in treating cases similar to mine. He was easily available, and would return calls promptly, if he was busy. Mr. Panter advised me on the confidentiality of the case, behavior such as posting on social media that could be detrimental to the case. Mr. Panter's office handled my case from beginning to end. and I was very pleased with his office staff. He always kept me informed on how the various legal expenses would be paid. He always kept me informed on future litigation costs and always made an effort to minimize those expenses. He helped me make informed decisions about my case. Mr. Panter always kept me appraised of how the case was progressing, and the possibilities of going to trial vs. obtaining a settlement. Mr. Panter always made sure to safeguard information regarding my case that if divulged could potentially be detrimental to my case. He made sure that no conflicts of interest or of litigation would exist that could affect my case. Overall, I was very pleased with his professionalism, his integrity, the handling of the case, and the high caliber of the office staff.

With how daunting legal issues can be it was so nice having this firm by my side, and working with someone I truly felt like I could trust to represent me. I’m rarely one to write reviews but if you are in search of an attorney in Miami I highly suggest reaching out to Freidin Brown.

A family member had a medical emergency during a surgical procedure which caused great emotional distress. We consulted a few attorneys about the matter but the only attorney who was willing to provide guidance in a compassionate manner was Mr. Cleary. From our first phone call to his office and upon speaking with his assistant, Monica, we knew we were in good hands. Mr Cleary took the time to listen to our experience and concerns. Based on our conversations with him, we can confidently say that Mr. Cleary had our very best interest in mind at all times. After thoroughly combing over the medical records we provided, he took the time to explain all the possible outcomes in our situation. We would highly recommend Mr. Cleary and his staff, without reservation, due to the excellent, personal client service they provided.

I was severely injured in June 2020 by a fall in a hospital over a bench that was not visible from the turn in the hallway. In addition, three visits to the ED and 2 hospital admissions which included surgery twice Rubenstein Law upon consultation immediately accepted the case. I was working with their local attorney and was pleased with our discussions The local attorney was to handle the personal injury portion of the incidents and they were to review the medical care as it took 3 ED visits and 2 hospitalizations to handle the injuries suffered in the same facility where I was injured I had 3 fractured ribs, an 8 inch tear in the intracostal cartilage, a head injury, wrist injury and in the 2 hospitalizations 3 liters of blood surgically extracted from my chest cavity plus a 19cm hematoma that was dissolved. The diagnoses were acute kidney failure and acute respiratory failure due to large effusions in both lungs caused by the fall. Additionally, after 2 months, I’m still on oxygen 24 hours a day. Last night, a Friday night at 8:30pm, I received a call from an assistant at the headquarters office in Miami. I was advised that the hospital’s insurance had denied the claim for the fall and they had decided not to take the case further and they were closing the case. Hell, they had not even received my medical records yet. Not had the malpractice group reviewed anything regarding the errors made in my care decisions. I had been told at the onset that the insurer would likely deny the claim and at such time they would have to file the intent to take the case to the next level. Instead, they just dropped the case. Simply because the insurer denied the initial claim This leads me to wonder who’s pockets have been lined. Why accept my case in the first place? A total scam and failure

I can not express how much I appreciate this team. I had horrible experiences with two attorneys who basically just stole my money, and as a struggling single mother, this was the hardest time of my life. When I came to Diane, within just a day or two everything turned around!! They got on it right away and started moving things forward in court. Things that were taking MONTHS for the other attorneys to do, Diane and her daughter got it done!!! She truly fights for what is right. I would recommend her with my eyes closed. Thank you so much for how you have helped my family. It meant everything to me.

If I had read the reviews before hiring this law firm, I would have never contracted them. They referred me to LAZZARIN, and after I shared my negative experience, they admitted they had no better alternatives to offer. The outcome felt like an insult. I even sent an email requesting reduced charges and fees, but they ignored my concerns despite my objections. If I could give zero stars, I would. Their advertising is impressive, but the reviews reflect the reality much better.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You

A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.

If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.

When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?

Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
  • Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
  • Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
  • Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
  • Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
  • Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
  • Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.

Medical malpractice cases are complex, and hiring a lawyer early can help ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled effectively.

What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Do?

A medical malpractice lawyer provides various legal services to help injured patients hold negligent healthcare providers accountable. Their responsibilities include:

  • Evaluating your case: Reviewing medical records and consulting with experts to determine if you have a viable claim based on the standard of care and harm suffered.
  • Filing a lawsuit: Initiating legal action by filing a complaint against the responsible parties in the appropriate court.
  • Gathering evidence: Collecting medical records, expert testimonies, and other relevant evidence to build a strong case.
  • Negotiating with insurance companies: Working to secure a fair settlement that compensates you for your injuries without the need for a trial.
  • Litigating in court: Representing you during trial proceedings if a settlement cannot be reached, presenting evidence and arguing your case.
  • Calculating damages: Assessing the full extent of your losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
  • Handling expert testimony: Coordinating with medical experts who can testify on how the standard of care was breached and how it led to your injuries.

How Are Medical Malpractice Lawyers Paid?

Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they recover compensation for you. Key aspects of this payment structure include:

  • Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer's fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the settlement or award.
  • No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
  • Case expenses: Costs for expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court fees may be deducted from your settlement or award in addition to the lawyer's fee.

Always discuss the fee arrangement during your initial consultation to understand your financial obligations.

How Much Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee model. General estimates include:

  • Contingency fee: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total recovery amount.
  • Case expenses: Additional costs such as expert witness fees and court expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.

Ensure you receive a clear explanation of all potential fees and expenses before proceeding with your case.

Top Questions to Ask a Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Before hiring a medical malpractice lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with medical malpractice cases like mine?
    Confirm the lawyer has a successful track record with similar cases.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement.
  6. Have you worked with expert witnesses?
    Verify the lawyer's experience in collaborating with medical experts essential for your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Medical Malpractice Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association for their license and any disciplinary actions.
  • Review their experience: Look for specialization in medical malpractice and a history of successful cases.
  • Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
  • Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
  • Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

  • Medical records: All documents related to your treatment and injury.
  • Evidence of harm: Photos, medical bills, and records of lost wages.
  • Communication records: Any correspondence with healthcare providers or institutions.
  • List of healthcare providers: Names and contact information of all involved medical personnel.
  • Questions for the lawyer: A prepared list to address all your concerns.
  • Timeline of events: A detailed chronology of your medical care and the issues encountered.

Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
