What A Fort Myers Medical Malpractice Attorney Will Do For You

If we have determined that there is a reasonable likelihood of medical negligence, our attorneys will:

  1. Immediately take steps to preserve all evidence necessary to pursue your claim.

  2. Have your medical records reviewed by an expert or experts in the appropriate fields of medicine.

  3. Meet with you personally and seriously explore the likelihood of the success of your potential claim.

  4. Explain to you the basis upon which we will represent you and request that you sign a contingent fee contract.

  5. Conduct focus group studies in front of 18 potential jurors making up three potential juries in the county where the case will be tried to predict your claim’s success is presented to a jury.

  6. Prepare a demand package and attempt to resolve your claim amicably.

  7. If we cannot settle your claim, we will file suit and aggressively pursue your claim against all medical providers responsible for your injuries.

Once you have received your due settlement, oftentimes a medical lien will be established to cover medical bills — to prepare for this situation, contact our Fort Myers hospital bill and lien resolution attorneys today.

“We would absolutely turn to him again if the need ever arises.”

My initial impression of Leland was one of trust. He was sympathetic to our injuries and passionate about our case. We would absolutely turn to him again if the need ever arises.

How Long Do I Have To File A Medical Malpractice Suit In Florida?

First and foremost, unlike all other negligence claims, there are extremely short periods of time within which you must take action.

If you do not serve a formal notice with an affidavit of negligence from a similar health care provider attached within two (2) years of the time you first knew or should have known there was medical negligence, your claim will be forever barred.

Additionally, all claims must be brought within four (4) years of the date of the treatment, no matter when the negligence was discovered.
