We believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality medical care, but we also believe that when healthcare providers fail to meet an acceptable standard of care, they must be held accountable.
Pensacola Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle
- Failure to Diagnose or Delayed DiagnosisA missed or delayed diagnosis can significantly worsen a medical condition, reducing a person’s treatment options and increasing the risk of complications. We represent clients whose health has been compromised due to a failure to promptly diagnose various conditions.

We fight for clients who have suffered due to preventable medication mistakes, including incorrect dosing, prescribing the wrong medication, failing to identify potential drug interactions, and failing to consider medication allergies.

FAQs About Workers' Compensation in Pensacola
How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
Proving medical malpractice is complex. It requires demonstrating that a healthcare provider deviated from an accepted standard of care and that this deviation directly caused your injuries. Some common forms of potential malpractice include misdiagnoses, surgical errors, medication errors, and failing to obtain informed consent. If you suspect malpractice, contact our Pensacola medical malpractice attorneys for a free case evaluation.
Is there a time limit for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit in Florida?
Yes, Florida’s statute of limitations for filing medical malpractice claims is two years from the date you knew (or should have known) about the injury. There are some exceptions to this general rule, so it is crucial to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible.
What types of evidence are important in a medical malpractice case?
Strong medical malpractice cases rely on compelling evidence. This may include medical records, expert testimony from qualified medical professionals, and witness statements from anyone who observed the negligence.
What should I do if a doctor or hospital asks me to sign a release or settlement agreement?
Do not sign anything without first consulting with a medical malpractice attorney. These agreements often release the healthcare provider from liability, even if you deserve more compensation. We can review any documents and protect your rights.
