West Palm Beach Medical Malpractice Attorney

Medical Malpractice Attorney

Protecting people who’ve been injured due to a doctor or hospital’s negligence.


Seeing a doctor or going to a hospital can be a stressful experience. Between the physical discomfort or pain and the high cost of care, many people feel vulnerable when seeking medical treatment. But we expect doctors and hospitals to provide quality care for their patients. However, sometimes they make mistakes that can lead to serious injury or even death for the patient.

According to the Journal of Patient Safety, about 21,000 deaths from medical errors are reported each year. It’s estimated that the actual number of deaths from medical errors is even higher, as many go unreported. Causes of medical malpractice may include, but are not limited to:

  • Surgical errors
  • Failure to diagnose properly
  • Errors in treatment

A medical malpractice injury can have a terrible effect on your life. After being traumatized by the mistakes of medical staff, you may have to deal with even more hospital and doctor visits to treat your injuries. Malpractice may also lead to permanent disability, chronic pain or problems, and death.

Meanwhile, insurance companies work round the clock to minimize the compensation they pay out. Our team of West Palm Beach medical malpractice lawyers at the Law Offices of Craig Goldenfarb, P.A. understand their motivations. We also know your legal rights and are dedicated to getting you the maximum amount of compensation possible. We know this compensation can help you recover from your injuries, and get back to normal as soon as possible.

Medical Malpractice Liability & Damage Recovery

There are many ways the negligence of others can contribute to TBIs. A nursing home’s negligence may lead to an elderly person falling and hitting their head. A careless driver could cause an accident that alters your life forever. Any kind of obstacle that causes you to trip and fall in a public place can be another cause.

If the negligence of another has caused you a TBI or other injury, they are then liable for bodily injury that takes place as a result of their negligence. If you or a loved one have suffered a head or traumatic brain injury, contact the Law Offices of Craig Goldenfarb, P.A. We may be able to help you secure the compensation that you are entitled to.

There are several kinds of damages that may be awarded in a head and traumatic brain injury lawsuit. These include:

  • Hospital and Other Medical Bills
  • Lost Wages
  • Pain and Suffering
  • Costs of Future Care

Remember that insurance agents and adjusters work for the insurance company, and are not concerned with what is best for their injured clients. It’s very important that you never agree to or accept a settlement offer from an insurance company without first consulting an experienced West Palm Beach medical malpractice attorney.
