Find a New Doctor

If you have been the victim of medical malpractice, it is important that you seek out a new doctor as soon as possible. Your new doctor should review your medical records and correctly treat and diagnose you. It is of the utmost importance that you stop seeing the doctor who mistreated/misdiagnosed you and you start seeing a doctor who will properly treat and care for you.

Getting a Lawyer

Medical malpractice cases are extremely complex, so it is important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible. It is important to find an attorney right away so your lawyers can begin building your case immediately. Your lawyer will also act as your main point of contact throughout your case. From the beginning of your case, your lawyer will be the point of contact with insurance companies, the healthcare facility, or anyone else involved in your medical malpractice case.

Obtaining Your Medical Records

Your medical records will play an important role in your medical malpractice case, so it is important for you to obtain a copy as soon as possible. Because these records contain information regarding your symptoms, medical history, any tests that have been performed, and medications prescribed, they can be used to prove that your doctor did commit medical malpractice. The lawyers at Beltz & Beltz will assist in obtaining these records at no cost to you.

Keep Documented Notes

Even with a copy of your medical records, it is important to take notes documenting any symptoms or impacts that medical malpractice has had on your life. Be sure to keep a detailed journal of symptoms you are experiencing as a result of medical malpractice. It is also important to note impacts on your life, such as having to take time off work due to medical error. A good practice is to note every day how your medical malpractice has affected your life, as this can be used as evidence in your case.

What is Medical Malpractice?

When can I make a claim?

In the state of Florida, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is two years. This means that either the patient or their family member (such as a parent or guardian) has two years from the time of the injury or two years from when they knew of an injury resulting from medical malpractice to come forward and make a claim.

What to do if You Think Your Baby has Suffered from Medical Malpractice

Having a baby should be one of the most exciting times of your life. However, that is not always the case.

The pain that parents have to endure when they have to watch their baby have heart surgery or other risky procedures is a pain like no other. This pain can be even more devastating when the baby ends up disabled or even dying as a result of medical procedures. Parents may be told that the injury or death of their child was one of the risks of the procedure when in reality it was the result of medical malpractice.

No parent should have to suffer through this pain, which is why the personal injury attorneys at Beltz & Beltz will fight to get the justice you deserve for you and your baby.
