Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Florida

brain surgey

What legal options could I take against a medical mishap? A medical tool was left in my sister back during surgery. It's call a spinal lumbar catheter! She's now having severe pain in her back and neck. She went in for removal of a brain tumor, but came out with partial removed and a medical tool left behind near her spinal area! Can you help?

She needs to immediately seek a malpractice attorney, who should speak with her at no charge to discuss her options. SHE SHOULD NOT WAIT. There is a short statute of limitations for medical malpractice issues.

You definitely need to consult with an attorney experienced in medical malpractice cases. Most lawyers do not handle these cases, and are not familiar with all of the requirements that one must do before a lawsuit can be filed. Preferably, you want someone who is board certified in civil trial law, as our lawyers our. We would be happy to discuss the situation with you or your family members, with no obligation to our firm. We offer a free initial consultation.
