Medical malpractice cases are more complex than virtually any other civil action. Florida attorney Brian R. Denney at Searcy Denney explains why.
Under Florida law, there are many hoops to jump through in order to file a lawsuit if you believe that you or a loved one has been a victim of medical negligence.
The first step is to have a sworn affidavit from a medical provider that has reviewed your records and determined that the medical care that caused an injury or death fell below the medical standard of care in a particular field. Once this is established, we can notify the potential defendant of our intention to bring a medical malpractice claim by sending them a certified letter.
During the 90-day investigation phase, the parties can exchange information and questions. This gives them the opportunity to work things out without taking legal action. If the defendant refuses to admit that they have done something wrong, we are then able to file a lawsuit in court and have a judge and a jury decide.

Mr. Denney, what tables, or actuaries are used in determining non-economic damages? I'm trying to get an idea of what I can expect as a settlement? Is there a calculator of sorts? Thanks for putting this video up. I understand that the FLSCOTUS ruled the damage award caps to be unconstitutional. I applaud the Supremes for this holding.
