Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle

Proving a Medical Malpractice Claim
A successful Florida medical malpractice claim generally requires proof of several essential elements.

The healthcare provider had a professional relationship with the patient and owed a duty to provide competent medical care.
Breach of the Standard of Care
The provider failed to deliver treatment consistent with what another reasonably competent healthcare professional would have provided under similar circumstances.
Causation
The negligent treatment directly caused or substantially contributed to the patient’s injuries.
Damages
The patient suffered measurable physical, emotional, or financial losses because of the negligence.
Medical experts are typically required to explain how the accepted standard of care was violated.

Our attorneys examine:
- Hospital records

How Our Medical Malpractice Lawyers at FHVG Can Help Prove Your Case in Doral
We start your case by reviewing your medical records with a fine-toothed comb. We review and analyze medical histories, diagnostic records, treatment plans, test results, and doctor notes to identify any deviations from the prevailing standard of care. We also consult world-class medical experts to help us determine how every deviation from the standard of care contributed to your injuries.
Next, we gather evidence to establish the financial and non-economic costs of your injuries, such as pre-injury earnings records, medical bills, and expert witness statements. Our network of experts includes life care planners, vocational experts, and medical professionals who can project your lifetime medical costs, long-term physical limitations, and future earnings.
Medical providers and their insurance companies seek to use their wealth and medical knowledge to intimidate injured patients and their attorneys, but these tactics are ineffective against our lawyers. Our attorneys have experience defending insurance companies and medical providers, so we can anticipate their tactics and stop them in their tracks.
In addition, our attorneys are South Florida natives familiar with the unique needs of injured patients in Doral and the legal landscape in the area.
