Accidents

In
the blink of an eye, a negligent driver can drastically
change the life of an innocent driver, passenger or pedestrian.
In addition to dealing with pain and suffering, the injured
person must deal with the payment of medical bills, property
damage and insurance coverage issues.

Medical
Malpractice |
Medical errors cause thousands of deaths every year. These errors can include unnecessary or botched surgery, medication errors, and failure to diagnose or treat medical conditions.
Medical and insurance lobbyists have ensured that negligent medical providers receive more legislative protection than any other tortfeasors. Florida's statutes make medical malpractice claims more difficult and costly to bring.
It is therefore extremely important to hire an attorney who has the legal and financial ability to fight insurance companies which are determined to avoid a just result. Andy Hamilton has been handling medical malpractice cases for years, and is dedicated to holding hospitals, doctors and other medical professions accountable for injuries inflicted by substandard care. |

Nursing Home
Abuse
|
Nursing
home litigation is complex, expensive and hard-fought.
Prosecuting nursing home cases requires extensive review
of nursing home charts, hospital charts and other medical
records to identify fraudulent records and negligent
conduct. The cases require intensive investigation into
the regulatory problems and financial aspects of the
facility and corporate structure. Nursing home defendants
and their insurers typically hire experienced lawyers
to strenuously defend their cases. It is therefore important
to hire a law firm which has the experience and resources
necessary to handle nursing home issues.
Andy Hamilton has
gone head-to-head against some of the largest nursing
home companies in the country, handling cases involving
bed sores, falls, fractures, infection, beatings and wrongful death. He is a member of the Nursing Home Litigation group for the American Association for Justice.

Premises
Liability

Property
owners have a duty to act reasonably to prevent injuries
to people who are lawfully on their property. A lawsuit
can be filed if the property owner caused injuries or
death by failing to keep its premises safe.
Incidents
can occur such as slips on a foreign substance, trips
over negligently placed items, or injuries from falling
merchandise. These incidents often occur at large stores
or supermarkets.
