Medical malpractice can cause devastating injuries, prolonged suffering, and financial burdens for victims and their families. If you experienced harm due to a healthcare professional’s negligence, an experienced medical malpractice attorney at Kaire & Heffernan is ready to help you.
Our lawyers have a proven track record of pursuing damages in Miami medical malpractice cases. We can investigate the incident, gather evidence, and initiate a claim on your behalf. Medical Malpractice cases are very different from general personal injury cases. Make sure you hire a lawyer with experience in handling medical malpractice cases.
A victim of medical malpractice can pursue a lawsuit to obtain compensation for their losses. You may be entitled to recover several types of damages in medical negligence claims in Miami.
Medical expense damages cover all healthcare costs related to malpractice, including emergency treatment, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and future medical care.
You may also recover expenses for corrective procedures needed to address the original negligence.
When malpractice prevents you from working, you can claim compensation for the income you lost during recovery. A medical malpractice lawyer will hire experts such as an economist or vocational rehabilitation expert and use the following evidence to prove lost income:
If your injuries permanently affect your ability to work, you can seek compensation for reduced future earning potential. Loss of earning capacity applies when injuries force career changes, part-time work, or early retirement.
Pain and suffering covers the physical pain, trauma, inconvenience, and discomfort endured due to medical negligence. Compensation accounts for both past suffering and future chronic pain that diminishes your quality of life.
You can pursue damages for pain and suffering if your injury has triggered chronic pain lasting weeks, months, or years after the medical malpractice.
Medical malpractice will often leave you with psychological trauma alongside physical injuries. Evidence that a medical malpractice attorney could use to prove emotional distress includes:
You can pursue compensation when injuries prevent you from participating in activities you once enjoyed, such as hobbies, sports, or social gatherings. Loss of enjoyment of life compensates you for the ways your injury has diminished your quality of life.
You can initiate a lawsuit for a case involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct. The judge and jury may award you punitive damages to punish the healthcare provider and deter similar behavior in the future. These damages exceed actual losses and serve as a penalty.
The settlement value you receive for your medical malpractice losses depends on many factors. An experienced Medical Malpractice lawyer could help you maximize your settlement value.
We will enhance the value of your claim by investigating the incident and gathering evidence, including medical records, expert testimony, and documentation of all damages.
During negotiations, a lawyer will advocate aggressively on your behalf with insurance companies, which often attempt to minimize payouts. With strong evidence and knowledge of case values, we can counter unfair offers and push for higher settlement values.
If insurers refuse to offer fair compensation, an attorney with experience in Miami malpractice claims can provide skilled representation in court. We present compelling arguments to judges and juries to secure the maximum damages you deserve for your losses.
We are by no means the largest law firm in the country, nor do we want to be. We believe in building relationships with our clients, and only then can we truly understand your particular case and the effects that the injuries have had on your life.
As an injured victim, you may endure financial distress due to hefty medical bills and an inability to work. Consulting with a legal professional who knows how to maximize damages in Miami medical malpractice cases is crucial.
