Gainesville, Florida Medical Malpractice Attorneys
In today's society, we place an abundance of trust in doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals. However, that trust is broken when medical malpractice occurs. Most often, neither the doctor nor the insurance company will admit the mistake or agree to compensate their victims. At the Uman Law Firm, we are committed to fighting the insurance companies, holding the negligent doctors responsible, and recovering just compensation for you.
If you have never experienced medical malpractice, you might assume that the doctor or clinic would admit the error and attempt to settle. Unfortunately, Florida doctors rarely admit fault, even when it is egregious. On the contrary, these doctors and their insurers steadfastly deny that their negligence contributed to the damages and instead blame the victim, the most common medical malpractice defense.
There are many types of cases and situations that may fall into the category of medical malpractice. Our legal team thoroughly examines all of the aspects of your case to determine the best course of action to take. We handle many types of medical malpractice, including, but not limited to:
- Emergency room errors
- Delay in emergent care
- Misdiagnosis
- Cancer misdiagnosis
- Failure to diagnose
- Failure to diagnose cancer
- Delayed diagnosis
- Nursing mistakes and errors
- Surgical errors
- Improper or inadequate follow up care
- Obstetric malpractice and resulting injuries
- Birth injuries
- Pharmacy and Prescription Errors
- Allergic Reactions
