Medical Malpractice
You trust your doctor to do his or her best when your health is at stake. Unfortunately, sometimes doctors or other healthcare providers do not follow standard or accepted medical procedure with the result being injury or death to the patient. Patients are frequently told that there was no way to avoid the outcome, or they are told “these things just happen.” We have substantial experience working with and against healthcare providers. Let us investigate your case for you.

Nursing Home Neglect
Nursing homes are supposed to take care of those who can no longer care for themselves. State and Federal laws require nursing homes to provide their residents compassionate, high quality, and dignified care.
Unfortunately, there are nursing facilities where staff abuse or neglect their patients. This might be due to the facility’s lack of funds, insufficient number of nurses, or poorly trained nurses.
If you know an elderly person or anyone else who is staying at a nursing home, and you believe that person has been the victim or nursing home abuse or neglect, please contact us for a free consultation.
Automobile/Motorcycle Accidents
Careless drivers forget that the car they are driving may weigh over 2000 pounds and can cause enormous damage when it is driven recklessly. When they cause an accident, the victim can sometimes suffer serious, life-long permanent damage.
When the victim is on a motorcycle, the damage can be even worse.

Boating Accidents
From propeller injuries, to latches that smash hands, to high tension lines that cause serious lacerations and even amputations, there are literally a hundred different ways someone can be injured on a boat or by a boat. Jet skis and wave runners can also cause serious injuries, even death.

Defective Products
We routinely assume that the products we purchase and use are safe. However, occasionally products are dangerously defective and they can cause serious injury or death. This may be because the product was manufactured with a defect, or perhaps it was not designed properly, or maybe the product instructions and warnings were insufficient.
If you have been seriously injured by defective product, contact us for a free consultation. We will instruct you on what to do to protect your rights and seek compensation from those responsible for distributing the defective product.
Insurance Company Disputes
Insurance companies are businesses and their insurance policies are legal contracts under Florida law. An insurance company is required to act in good faith when handling your claim. Sometimes, however, they don’t. If your insurance company is not paying you on a claim you believe they should, if they are unreasonably delaying paying, or if they are requiring unreasonable amounts of documentation or proof, they may be acting in bad faith. If this is happening to you, contact us immediately so we can determine if you have a claim.
Legal Malpractice
Attorneys are fast becoming a popular target for plaintiffs filing lawsuits that claim professional negligence. There is no specific definition for legal negligence. Usually, however, a lawyer can be accused of negligence when he or she is careless and neglects to provide a client with quality legal service.
Premises Liability/Falls
Property owners have a duty to keep their premises in a reasonably safe condition. This includes having safe and well-lit walking areas, having clean and unobstructed aisles, having sufficient security, and mot having trip hazards. If you have been injured because a property owner failed to keep his premises in a reasonably sage condition, you may have a claim to recover your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Contact us for a free consultation as soon as you can to protect your rights.
Wrongful Death
When someone dies as a result of the negligence or inappropriate conduct of others, the loss can have devastating consequences for those left behind. We have successfully represented many victims who have suffered devastating losses because of the negligence of another. Let us help you determine if you have a claim and what damages you may be able to recover.
