Medical Malpractice
We concentrate on medical malpractice cases in Miami, South Florida and the State that we file against doctors, nurses, hospitals and other healthcare providers that injure innocent patients by providing careless and negligent treatment that does not meet the standards of care that are required under law. These lawsuits are very difficult and challenging to litigate, and they require a review by dedicated lawyers and qualified medical professionals to determine if the provider was indeed negligent in their duty to adhere to the proper standards of care.
Before taking on a medical malpractice case, the attorneys of Gamba & Lombana will work with the appropriate medical expert for the type of care involved in the case to review the facts and determine if indeed the case reflects a failure to adhere to the minimum standards by the applicable to the caregiver. When these standards of care are not met, patient safety is sacrificed and serious injuries often occur. We believe that negligent, careless or inept caregivers and doctors must be held accountable for the actions that harm patients. Otherwise, the mistakes and problems that are involved in these cases are likely to reoccur and affect others in the future.
Our medical malpractice lawyers work with injured patients and their families in Miami and South Florida as well as other parts of Florida to help them to turn to the justice system to recover compensation for lost wages and medical care as well as for their general pain and suffering. Many of our medical malpractice cases involve:
- Medical treatment mistakes
- Misdiagnosis (the failure to accurately diagnose a patient's condition can lead to treatment approaches that harm patients)
- Prescription and medication errors, which often stem from problems with the diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Scan and testing errors
Some of the most common ailments and medical conditions involved in these cases include:
- Heart attacks
- Strokes
- Cancer
- Brain injuries
- Maternity and childbirth
- Bariatric procedures
- Neurological disabilities
- Death and brain injuries to newborns
These and other types of medical malpractice cases are caused when doctors and caregivers make serious mistakes or are utterly inept and careless. Physicians and healthcare providers are not perfect. However, they must be held accountable for their actions that injure innocent patients so that others are not injured in the future. Our medical malpractice lawsuits enable our clients to seek justice while also indentifying and exposing bad doctors and caregivers in hopes that future injuries could be avoided.
