Hollywood Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Dedicated Medical Malpractice Lawyers Fight for Justice Against Negligent Medical Professionals in Broward County and South Florida

Some studies show that medical malpractice causes more deaths in the United States each year than car accidents—and while this statistic alone is shocking, this does not even account for the millions of malpractice victims who suffer from the consequences of medical malpractice in their everyday lives for the rest of their lives. Negligent medical care can worsen an existing condition, create the need for painful and unnecessary treatment or even leave victims suffering from new and painful conditions that can last a lifetime. At Lawlor, White & Murphey, our Hollywood medical malpractice lawyers want to keep Hollywood and the surrounding South Florida communities safe from negligent doctors and medical professionals.

At some point, all of us will have to rely upon the skills and knowledge of our doctors—without formal medical training, we really have no alternative than to trust that our doctors will take their professional duties seriously and provide the best care possible. When doctors fail in this duty, we feel a responsibility to help you hold them accountable for that failure, both to make sure you receive the financial compensation that you deserve and to keep others safe from suffering similar consequences.

Available compensation in a Hollywood, Florida Medical Malpractice Case

Three primary types of compensation may be available once we have successfully established that the doctor, hospital or medical professional committed medical malpractice, including:

• Economic damages. Economic damages in a medical malpractice case involve quantifiable amounts to make you whole again—or as whole as possible under the circumstances. These include medical expenses, rehabilitative care, prescription drug costs, lost wages, lost earning capacity and any ongoing costs caused by the malpractice.
• Non-economic damages. Non-economic damages include damages for pain and suffering and any emotional damage caused by the malpractice.
• Punitive damages. Punitive damages are specifically designed to punish the person who committed malpractice and are only available in Florida medical malpractice cases where the person’s actions were especially unconscionable so that the malpractice accounted to gross negligence.
