Medical malpractice can involve serious injuries and losses. A medical malpractice lawyer can investigate the cause of your injury and hold all responsible parties liable. Let our attorneys do the work to secure the compensation you need for a better quality of life.

What Kind of Settlement Can a Boca Raton Medical Malpractice Attorney Help Secure?

A Boca Raton medical malpractice attorney can help injured patients secure various costs and losses, legally known as damages. Based on the specific circumstances of the case, compensation could cover:

  • Medical bills for both past and future treatments, including surgery costs, prescription medications, physical therapy sessions, and long-term care
  • Lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, and other employment-related costs like insurance coverage or missed promotion opportunities
  • Pain and suffering expenses associated with the ordeal, including psychological impacts of the injury
  • Punitive damages, which are intended to punish the wrongdoer for their violation and discourage future instances of the misconduct
  • Wrongful death expenses if the malpractice resulted in the loss of life; damages can cover funeral expenses, loss of household income, and the human cost of losing a spouse, parent, or child

No amount of financial compensation can fully undo the losses that medical malpractice might cause. However, a settlement can help tremendously in helping you and your family secure a better quality of life through proper medical care and equipment, and other items needed to get you on track.

At Osborne & Francis, we have a proven case record of returning billion-dollar and million-dollar verdicts and settlements on behalf of our clients. We have successfully handled cases involving defective medical products like knee replacements, dangerous drugs such as Traysol, and many other types of medical malpractice.

So you've been in a car accident. What happens next? There are many things that you should do but here are the three most important:

Number One: See a doctor immediately. 

A broken bone is easy to see, but some injuries are not. The most common injuries from car accidents happen in the neck, back, or head. The only way to diagnose and treat them is by seeing a doctor. A doctor can help ease the pain, provide medication, reassure you of how your injury may impact your daily life, and tell you what not to do to make it worse.

A visit to the doctor can also give you legally protected time off to recover and rest your body after an accident, and it documents and provides the evidence you may need for your case. Even a five-mile-per-hour car accident can cause a serious injury. So whether you've had a severe accident or a minor collision, see a doctor. And if you don't have medical insurance, let us know and we'll make sure that you receive the proper care. 

‍Number Two: Write everything down.

Even if it seems small, during times of stress or injury it is common to forget the little details. Make sure you keep note of the pain that you're in. With neck, back, and head injuries, sometimes simple activities such as walking up the stairs or picking up a toddler may cause severe pain. 

You may not be sleeping well at night. Documenting how much you sleep and how often you wake up due to pain is also very important. And lastly, if you have any cuts or bruises, take daily photos as you heal. This will provide visual evidence of the injuries that you've suffered. 

‍Number Three: Do not speak to an insurance company until you've spoken to a lawyer.

Please understand that the insurance adjuster works for a billion-dollar corporation and not for you. Their interests are solely for their insurance company, and their goal is to provide you with the least amount of financial settlement as quickly as possible. When you do speak with them, remember they will record the conversation. Why do they do this? Because they've been trained to ask questions that may confuse you. So talk to us before you talk to them. 

So remember: See a doctor, document everything, and call us before calling the insurance company for your free private consultation. We are here for you. Real tough lawyers fighting real tough issues.

How Can a Boca Raton Malpractice Lawyer Help with Your Case?

Medical malpractice claims can be complex and involve many steps. We understand that you may be recovering from an injury and are not able to perform all tasks by yourself. A medical malpractice lawyer can help ease your burdens by providing services like:

  • Investigating the facts and circumstances involved in your injury, such as assessing medical records and consulting with expert medical professions for additional opinions
  • Researching the relevant laws and statutes that apply to your case
  • Advising you regarding your legal rights and options, such as whether to pursue mediation or litigation
  • Filing all relevant court forms on your behalf, and drafting any legal documents needed to continue with your case
  • Negotiating with various parties for you, such as insurance companies, hospital representatives, and others who may be involved
  • Representing you in court and presenting a strong legal strategy outlining your compensation

Injured patients may sometimes be hesitant to pursue legal action because they are unsure of what will be required of them.

Quick and fair resolution to a unique case. On advice of my own attorney, I engaged Joseph Osborne of Osborne & Francis of Boca Raton, FL. Mr. Osborne had considerable experience in cases such as mine and the results showed that. Mr. Osborne and his staff were very helpful, kept me up to date, and listened to my input. The settlement was very fair as far as I am concerned.

I didn't realize how MUCH pressure they relieved me of by helping me deal with the reality of this traumatic time in my life, as it was OVER so quickly with a positive result. My family is grateful to have their mom HAPPY & FOCUSED on the future, rather than worrying over what happened in the past! FAST FORWARD, we are LIVING LIFE to the fullest once again!”
