Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in Florida

I am sorry to hear about your situation. It is difficult to tell if you have a case or not. Some of the issues to resolve are as follows: You must show that the doctor did not comply with acceptable standards of care. The only way to do this is to have an expert review the medical records. The second issue is damages. Medical malpractice cases are very expensive to pursue. Unless you have a significant disability or loss, most lawyers will not pursue the case. It is just not economically feasible for you and the lawyer otherwise. The next issue is whether the doctor has medical malpractice insurance and if so how much. Finally, the next issue is what is the amount of insurance or Medicare liens there are. All of this must be done, assuming the statute of limitations has not expired.

As you can see, this is not an easy analysis. You need to see a competent attorney who has handled medical cases as soon as possible to preserve your rights.

You list this under legal malpractice but if it exists it is under medical malpractice. Mr. Marino is accurate. failing to warn about side effects is a tough case as it involves oral conversations which can be remembered differently. did you get the medication in original packaging? did it have the appropriate warnings? do the medical records reflect warnings given? have you discussed your upset with your physician? certainly you need to seek legal advice asap as there is a very short statute of limitations and hard to determine when it started to run in your fact pattern.
