Don has represented not only me but my grandfather and aunt. The McKeever Law Firm is the only personal injury attorney my family will choose. He takes the time to answer questions in a way that someone with no knowledge of personal injury cases can understand and is always straightforward and transparent through the whole process. Mr.Mckeever shows compassion to his clients and is amazing at what he does! I would recommend him to anyone and will never choose any other personal injury attorney represent me! Don if you see this thank you for EVERYTHING!!! ❤️

To Mr. Bill and Team regarding my case aftermath: I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart and helping me getting through a very rough time after my wreck. The way you all handled my case with were patience, compassion, empathy, and attentiveness to all my needs, I can’t thank you enough. I felt nervous at first considering I’d never been through the experience but you made it smooth and easygoing and for someone lives miles away from family, you made a safe space. I can’t thank you all enough for your time and I would recommend you a 10/10. If you need some help, PLEASE reach out to Bill and his team, you will not regret as I have not. If the situation arises, I know exactly who to call. Once again thank you all so much even when thank you just doesn’t even feel enough.

Mr. Tonelli represented me in a personal injury case where I was hit by an under-insured motorist. From the moment he took my case until the successful conclusion, he had a solid game plan, excellent communications, and was always one step ahead of the insurance company. Most of all, I always trusted his judgement which proved to be flawless at the end of the day. You can hire one of the big name TV lawyers but but you probably won't get the same level of personal service. Highest recommendations.

Marshall Adler was an excellent attorney in an odd situation. In the time of the pandemic, he was always reachable and professional - he always gave good advice and good guidance. I would, without hesitation, recommend him to family or friends, knowing they would have a knowledgeable attorney to take their situation to conclusion.

I found Mr Adler on AVVO and after reading nothing but 5 star reviews I contacted him about my case. He is very professional, no nonsense and got me results when a previous attorney did nothing in over a year's time. His reputation is well deserved and he was in contact with me every step of the way, quick to respond to questions and very direct with answers. I can say first hand that a client could have complete confidence in Mr Adler and his assistant Liz to fight for your rights, represent your case with integrity and compassion. By chance I spoke with a paralegal who knew Mr Adler and Liz from years ago, and couldn't say enough good things about them. She said I was truly in the best hands possible, and I can back that up. This is the attorney you want for your work comp case, bottom line you will be in the best hands in town. Thank you very much Marshall and Liz!

Steve undoubtedly lives up to his reputation as an AV Preeminent rated attorney, which is proven by his results.​​ Not only did Steve provide superb legal representation, he went out of his way to show that he truly cared about my medical conditions and my well-being. By not choosing Steve's law firm, Kirschner & Konicek, you would be putting your best interests at risk. Highly recommend Steve and his firm.

Andrew Irvin represented me in a medical malpractice claim that settled fairly and out of court. This was my first experience with any type of law suit and I had many questions, concerns and misgivings. One of Andrew's first recommendations was to apply for an extension on the 2 year statute of limitations. I didn't realize this was even possible. From there he handled all paperwork and communications with the other law firm. Perhaps I most appreciated his effective communications. I felt up to date with all aspects of the case. Andrew made sure that he knew my feelings and priorities and represented them well. His advice and leadership is greatly appreciated! I would strongly recommend anyone with a potential personal injury case talk to Andrew when interviewing potential lawyers. The representation he provided was beyond my expectations and received results.

I was about to quit when he helped me take on some big name insurance companies and was patient with me every step of the way. He took time to explain what was happening and what my options were. He made sure things were made right and I was made whole.

Bonnie Jackson represented our family in a not-at-fault auto accident we were involved in. From day one, Mrs. Jackson had our best interests at heart. She worked tirelessly to make sure our family was taken care of ... especially in making us feel like a family member and not just a client! She always kept us up-to-date on any progress throughout the case, as well as made herself available at all hours if we needed to call/text/email with questions, or just to hear a friendly voice. Her calm demeanor and honesty were very much appreciated throughout a stressful time. We would not hesitate to use Mrs. Jackson and her law firm again should the need arise in the future!

Bonnie Jackson is an amazing attorney. She has a brilliant legal mind and practices law with passion and integrity. She protects her clients with the ferocity of a mother bear protecting her cubs. In the case in which she represented me, I witnessed her viscerate the opposition without theatrics or raising her voice. There is no doubt in my mind that if I ever need a litigator again, Bonnie Jackson is the first attorney I would call.

From the moment I first met with Chris, I knew he was the right lawyer to take my case. He was sensitive to the situation, and was very easy to work with. He always kept me informed every step of the way and he fought for me, when I felt like no one else would. I would recommend Chris to anyone who wants their case handled by someone who truly cares about the person involved as opposed your case number. He would even go out of his way to make the time commitments it involved convenient for my schedule. Anytime I had a question for Chris, I had a response within hours if not minutes. It is great to have a lawyer that really is dedicated to quality.

During the time of loss due to injury caused by the negligence of others--the process of finding the best advocate can be an overwhelming and daunting task for those seeking justice for their loved one. With tragedy, this task seems almost unfair that one would have to go through this on top of everything else. I thank God that friends of mine who are also lawyers pointed me to the Maher Law Firm for help. Honest, Integrity, thoroughness, professionalism, expert, care and understanding are just a few of the adjectives to describe Steve and his team. They will get at the truth and deliver victory in holding those responsible to the consequences of their actions. For me, there is none better than Steve Maher. I highly recommend him.

I have known Steve Maher for 4 years. He represented my company in a very difficult Intellectual Property case in the Federal District Court - Orlando Division. Steve prepared vigorously for all eventualities. The Jury Trial lasted 6 weeks, he was excellent in Direct examination as well as Cross examination. Steve delivered a brilliant closing argument that resulted in a Jury Award of $25,000,000.00 Steve a is a very articulate, personable individual who makes every effort to understand the case and find brilliant answers. Steve has also represented my company in general corporate issues. I would recommend Steve in the strongest possible terms for anyone who wants a winning lawyer on their side on any legal issues. He is tireless when it comes to representing a client. Juan F. Sierra

Steve Maher is compassionate and caring. He is a winner in every sense of the word. He is like a pit bull when fighting and will not give up or rest until justice is served. If given the choice, there is not another person I would want advocating for me or my family. Any defense tactics or attempts to not take responsibility for a wrong doing will be met with integrity and power probably not bargained for. Steve has the most incredible team and resources and ability. You can count on him to use the latest in technology and every tool available and every tactic to fight for you.

My case was complicated and AJ did a great job in figuring out how to win. No one believed me when I told them what happened, but AJ did. He went out of his way to find a video from a business next door that supported my claim and got me the evidence I needed to succeed. I don't trust lawyers, but AJ was someone who listened to me, someone who told me how it is when we looked bad, and when we had a break in the case. This one on one attention made me feel that he really does want to help people and not just make a pay check. HIRE HIM if you want someone on your side.

The folks here are honestly just top-notch. They spent probably a cumulative 5-6 hours on the phone with me, as well as who knows how many hours off of the phone researching my case and gathering information. In the end, they were unable to help me with my case, and they told me so. The whole time, they never stopped working for me, knowing there was a chance they couldn't help -- they worked regardless. And then, at the end, they didn't charge me a dime. Not a penny. They weren't able to help me recover anything, and therefore, they did not charge me for what time they had already put in. I only spoke with a paralegal one time the entire time. The rest of my phone calls were with Troutman himself. I know with many named law offices, you deal with paralegals unless your case is big enough for the person whose name is on the door to look into it. Not so with Troutman. I will reiterate, this is the best experience I could have hoped for. Thanks a bunch to everyone at Troutman Law Firm.

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.
