Medical Malpractice

Florida Medical Malpractice Attorneys

When we go to a doctor or a hospital we hope that we will receive the best possible care at the hands of a medical professional. Unfortunately, that does not always happen. Medical malpractice may occur when the doctor does not perform up to medical standards. Thousands of Floridians seek the advice of an attorney every year because they have been seriously injured, made ill, or because a family member has died as a result of a preventable medical mistake. At our Brevard County law firm, our attorneys have been helping clients with medical malpractice claims since 1963.

One of our founding partners, S. Sammy Cacciatore, is one of the few Florida lawyers who is board certified in medical malpractice by the Florida Bar. Our experience and our special expertise allow us to build strong cases for our clients, many of whom have received significant verdicts or settlements. For more information about medical malpractice and how we can help you, contact our Melbourne law firm.

On behalf of our injured clients, we have sued a variety of healthcare providers, including doctors, chiropractors, dentists, nurses and hospitals. Our law firm draws upon its extensive resources, including the services of nationally known medical experts, to develop winning arguments in medical malpractice cases. As trial lawyers, we prepare to present a strong case to a jury.

The medical field has changed dramatically since our founding in 1963. Efforts at cost cutting have meant that hospitals are staffed with fewer and less qualified nurses and other professionals. This alone has led to an increase in the number of preventable medical errors arising from hospital negligence. In addition, we have handled malpractice cases arising from:

• Misdiagnosis
• Anesthesia error
• Lack of informed consent before a medical procedure
• Surgical error
• Failure to timely diagnose a medical condition
• Improper treatment of an illness or disease
• Birth injury, including cerebral palsy and brain damage
• Prescription drug error

This area of personal injury law has become increasingly complex. When you retain our law firm to represent you in a medical malpractice matter, you are hiring attorneys with the ability to deal with the roadblocks and hurdles that will inevitably be placed in your way. If you have suffered severe and permanent injury, illness, or a loved one has died as a result of medical malpractice, contact a lawyer with experience, knowledge, and resources. We serve all of Brevard County, including communities such as Titusville, Cape Canaveral, Rockledge, Cocoa, and Melbourne/Palm Bay.
