Legal Help if You’ve Been Injured by Medical Malpractice in Gainesville or Ocala

When we seek medical help for an injury or illness, we expect doctors and other medical professionals we encounter to exercise the highest degree of care and professionalism. We don’t expect they will harm us. And yet hundreds of people every year become ill or die because of negligent medical care.

If you’ve been seriously injured due to medical negligence, or you suspect that a loved one died prematurely because of medical malpractice, contact the Law Office of Laurie D. Mitchell at 352-371-9828. Get a knowledgeable, and experienced legal advocate on your side.

Was it Medical Malpractice?

Because of the highly technical nature of medical care, and the uncertainties of working with people who are ill or experiencing a medical crisis, it can be extremely difficult to know if medical malpractice was the cause of a catastrophic injury, complications of pregnancy, labor or delivery that result in injury to babies, or unexpected death.

You may feel hesitant to talk to a lawyer because you’re unsure if you were harmed through medical negligence. Consulting a lawyer is the first step in learning about your legal rights. You may find that you gain greater peace of mind by talking to a lawyer who understands both the law and medicine. Give us a call. We may be able to help.
