Medical malpractice lawyers serving St. Petersburg
Unfortunately, healthcare providers' mistakes can lead to significant injuries or even death. When this happens, you need to be able to recover compensation for your losses and hold the negligent provider or organization accountable for their actions. Florida’s medical malpractice laws protect patients suffering from substandard care. Not all unfavorable medical outcomes qualify as malpractice, but if your injuries resulted from a breach of the accepted standard of care, we can help investigate and build your case.
At MattLaw, we represent clients in serious medical malpractice claims, including sepsis and birth injury cases. Medical malpractice can lead to sepsis through missed or incorrect diagnoses, potentially causing deadly complications for patients. Birth injuries may lead to lifelong medical attention and other forms of care and support. Our attorneys have successfully represented many clients in these complicated medical malpractice claims in St. Petersburg and beyond.
Birth Injury Lawyers in St. Petersburg
Birth injuries caused by medical negligence can have lifelong consequences for your child. From cerebral palsy to brachial plexus injuries, families affected by preventable mistakes during labor and delivery often face high medical costs, sometimes throughout the rest of that child’s life. Parents may experience additional financial strains caused by missed work and lost wages. Our attorneys understand how important it is to recover damages in these cases.
MattLaw’s birth injury lawyers are here to help you explore your legal options so you can secure the compensation needed to provide ongoing care and support for your child.
Sepsis malpractice in St. Petersburg
Sepsis is the body’s reaction to certain infections. Sometimes, those infections result from bacterial infections a patient suffers from after being exposed to unsanitary conditions in a hospital. Other times, it may have to do with an existing infection, but the effects of sepsis progress and cause serious and even irreparable harm because medical providers fail to properly diagnose the condition. When this happens, the consequences can include organ failure, the need for amputations, and even death.
Our attorneys are experienced in pursuing sepsis-related malpractice claims and fighting for victims to receive the necessary compensation.
Nursing home abuse attorneys in St. Petersburg
Nursing home residents are among the most vulnerable, and unfortunately, some suffer abuse at the hands of caregivers, including staff within nursing homes. If you suspect or know that your loved one has experienced physical, emotional, or financial abuse in a nursing facility, you need to speak to an attorney about recovering damages and holding the responsible facility accountable. These cases are sometimes shocking in their cruelty. The only way to truly fight back against nursing home abuse and neglect is to bring claims against those responsible and prevent them from profiting from their wrongful actions.
Car accident attorneys in St. Petersburg
Traffic accidents are a leading cause of injury and death, and Florida’s roads often prove particularly dangerous. Whether you've been injured in a car, truck, motorcycle, or bicycle accident, you need to review your options for recovering compensation. It’s important to note that in Florida, you can recover from injuries from a car accident even if you are partly at fault. As long as you aren’t more than 50% to blame, you can still file a case and potentially recover compensation that will help you rebuild your life. However, remember that there are strict deadlines on how long you have to file your claim, so reach out to a St. Petersburg car accident attorney right away.
Catastrophic injury attorneys
Catastrophic injuries are those that have long-term consequences that affect every aspect of your life. Examples include traumatic brain injuries and amputations. Not only do these injuries require extensive medical care, but they also can result in the inability to return to work. Our St. Petersburg attorneys understand the significant financial burden this places on families, and we’re here to fight for the necessary compensation to cover your future needs. Some common causes of catastrophic injuries include:
- Car accidents
- Truck crashes
- Sepsis (which can cause amputations)
- Surgical errors
- Severe falls
If you’ve experienced a catastrophic injury, you need an experienced St. Petersburg personal injury attorney to help you fight for the compensation you need.
Slip and fall lawyers in St. Petersburg
Slip and fall accidents often result from dangerous property conditions, including uneven floorboards, loose steps, spilled liquids, and more. It’s important to understand that dangerous conditions on the property can result in the owners being held liable. Allowing dangerous conditions to persist is a form of negligence that can make a person liable when that condition causes injury to another. Whether you were injured in a commercial setting, a private residence, or public property, you may be able to file a claim for compensation.
Wrongful death attorneys
Losing a loved one to a preventable accident is devastating. Our wrongful death St. Petersburg attorneys are here to help families pursue wrongful death claims, which can provide compensation for funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, and more. No amount of money can replace your loved one. A successful claim can help reduce financial burdens and allow you and your family to hold the responsible party accountable. If you’ve lost a family member in an accident, contact us today to discuss your legal options.
