Timely Filing Key to Medical Malpractice Suit in Fort Lauderdale

Medical malpractice in Fort Lauderdale is more common than most people realize. According to the American Medical Association 225,000 people die of "medical errors" each year making it the third leading cause of death in America following only heart disease and cancer. Those statistics only address deaths and do not count the countless cases of total disability, disfigurement or unnecessary pain and suffering caused by less than professional medical care.

Because medical malpractice suits typically involve substantial sums of money, the insurance companies will spare no expense on its legal defense and one of their favorite tactics is to get the case dismissed for lack of cause. This tactic points out the importance of starting a medical malpractice suit as soon as you realize that you or a loved one has become a victim.

Prompt action on your part assists the law firm that you select to gather evidence and information that might otherwise disappear or become altered over time. Filing a strong suit initially puts the insurance company on notice that yours is a serious claim and one that will go to litigation if a fair and just settlement is not reached before then.

Medical malpractice is a legal specialty and not every law firm is competent to practice it. When researching law firms ask what their experience is in the field and ask how many similar cases as yours that they might handle in a year. Experience is the key element in presenting a winning case.
