Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice, or medical negligence, is the rendering of care that falls below the level of care that a competent medical professional would provide in similar circumstances.  Substandard medical care seriously injures or kills thousands of people each year in Florida.  

Medical negligence can occur in hospitals, doctors’ offices, emergency clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, nursing homes and pharmacies.  Doctors, nurses, dentists, therapists and anyone else who owes a professional duty to provide competent medical care may be held liable for malpractice if their negligence causes injury or death to a patient.

Examples of Medical Malpractice  

The Tampa medical malpractice attorneys at Lieser Skaff Alexander represent patients and their family members in many different types of medical negligence cases, including:

  • Delay in diagnosis
  • Failure to diagnose or recognize symptoms
  • Misdiagnosis
  • Surgical mistakes  
  • Unnecessary tests or surgery
  • Improper medication or dosage
  • Inadequate follow-up care
  • Premature discharge

Skilled in the Courtroom

Our trial strategies and courtroom skills have consistently produced successful results for our clients.  Using persuasive demonstrative exhibits and qualified and credible medical experts, we help juries really empathize with the patient, explaining what happened, why it happened and how it would not have happened if the patient had been given competent care.  As experienced trial attorneys, we use effective cross-examination techniques to discredit the defense’s witnesses and expose the weaknesses in their case.
