Barry and his team were referred by my financial advisor. I trusted her recommendation as she had said he is an excellent estate planning lawyer and her clients have given her great feedback about their experience with him. I am very pleased to say that Barry did a wonderful job taking care of my family as well. Barry is very knowledgeable in his field and takes the time to share what you need to know when you meet with him. His website features many videos explaining in detail many different concepts and problems that can happen in the future. I found this really helpful to review to educate myself and have a better understanding. We were able to complete all the documents I required to complete my estate plan efficiently. I did many other documents as well to protect assets and create tools to have a better understanding for future generations to come. My adult children were involved in the planning as well. Barry and his team were very accommodating to all the family members who contributed to the process. Everything Barry and his team did was carefully done to prevent future problems. They are excellent communicators. We found that Barry is very proactive, letting us know if there are changes in the law communicating via email. I am very relieved that we were able to get this done and have peace of mind.

I first met Loren Gold in 2019 when I hired him as my personal injury attorney for a trip and fall case. With his knowledge, years of experience and excellent negotiation skills I received a much larger settlement then I ever expected. But I’m writing this review for another reason. After my son was arrested just two days before Thanksgiving, I wasn’t sure what to do as I was out of town and have never experienced this before. I decided to reach out to Mr Gold for advice and as soon as I texted him he responded right away to tell me he’d get back to me soon. Later that evening, he began to text me asking questions about the arrest and even called me to talk about it! Not only did he remember me after four years but he took the time to call and spend quite a while with me answering all of my questions and giving me very good advice which we did. Loren Gold goes above and beyond for his clients. I hope and pray I never need his services again, but if I do he’s the BEST choice

I have been trying to find out about a med mal case and attorneys i have contacted really dont answer my questions and its usually not an attorney, just a rep or their paralegal. Mr Loren Gold not only answered my question i posted online, but called me and actually discussed my situation giving me clarity as to what the deal is with med mal in florida! While i may not have a case, he personally took the time to talk to me and explain how med mal works in florida! I would have ZERO issues hiring him as an attorney! He is very straight up and honest!!

I had hired Mr. Collier for my slip and fall case. Despite the fact that I didn't have enough evidence of negligence, he tried very hard on my behalf. Two years earlier my husband hired him for a successful case in an airplane incident when he fell and broke his leg in the rear area of the plane. Bringing a lawsuit against a major airline carrier takes a tough attorney. Mr. Collier is smart and aggressive but we were confident that his talents and knowledge would prevail which they did. We were very pleased with the outcome of the case.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Milton Blaut, Esquire for 25 years. Mr. Blaut's reputation in the legal community is outstanding, and there was never once a moment in time that he ever fell below the standard of the highest level of knowledge, experience and trustworthiness in his legal practice. He really knows his stuff!!! He and his paralegal team were always steadfastly available any time that I needed to communicate, even on the occasions that it was necessary for me to contact him on the weekends and in the evenings. In addition, Mr. Blaut communicated regularly with me and kept me in the loop. He gave me his personal attention to legal matters. Mr. Blaut is an outstanding trial attorney and to see him in the courtroom in action is a real experience. Mr. Blaut always has maintained the highest rating level amongst his peers and peer reviews. He is a lawyers' lawyer!!!

I was certainly hesitant to make a phone call after my auto accident to Lyons and Snyder but so happy I made that decision to call. Phil gave me the best knowledgeable information to proceed with my case. Guided me through all my medical decisions for my injury. Phil always eased my worries with his knowledge and bits of laughter. Trust him to give you the outcome you would so rightly deserve. Never hesitate to call and ask questions as knowledge is your power. Great work!!!

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.
