Medical malpractice is a very common problem that we handle at Law Offices Cytryn & Velazquez, P.A. We handle most cases against physicians, hospitals, nurses, and other medical professionals. Florida doctor and hospital malpractice is something we frequently see. Our firm focuses on those medical malpractice cases that involve catastrophic injury or death.

We handle those cases involving failure to perform timely diagnosis of any disease or condition resulting in a catastrophic injury or loss. Examples of cases that we have handled in the past include the failure to diagnose cancer (including breast and lung), failure to diagnose heart disease and heart attacks, failure to diagnose an impending stroke, and the failure to diagnose birth defects or cerebral palsy in infants or children. Other types of cases we accept are brain injury at childbirth, failure to diagnose medical conditions resulting in loss of life or limb, and the failure to diagnose or adequately treat, resulting in brain injury. Failure to diagnose serious diseases and conditions typically allow the best chance of success against the medical profession. Failure to adequately treat is also a common complaint of people who are victims of medical negligence. Sometimes, a medical negligence case can consist of the failure to communicate a result of a test to a patient. Finally, we accept cases involving the negligent performance of surgery.

If you are unsure whether a medical provider has committed medical malpractice or medical negligence (essentially, they are one and the same), call us to tell us the facts. If the result is catastrophic and permanent, or has resulted in death, the chances are that it is more likely that we will be willing to take a look at your case.

We do have to turn away numerous cases of medical malpractice. The reason that we do so is because even though the medical provider has committed malpractice, the patient has recovered. Medical malpractice cases are the most expensive and most difficult types of cases. Statistically, nationally, persons suing for medical malpractice only win at trial approximately 30% of the time. Since these cases cost up to hundreds of thousands of dollars which the attorney must front, the attorney must be selective in the cases that he takes, or he will not remain in business. Additionally, these cases take hundreds of hours or more to take to trial.
