Question:

What is my Medical Device Injury Claim worth?

Answer:

There are several ways that we evaluate medical device injury claims in Florida. We look at different factors that are involved in the case, from the amount of medical expenses incurred as a result of the defective device to the impact that the defective device has had on the individual, including their quality of life and earning capacity. All this and more go into the evaluation process. There is no magic formula and, therefore, we really listen closely to our clients when we evaluate these types of claims.

Question:

What happens after hiring the right attorney for a medical defect look like?

First, your attorney will immediately compile your medical records and bills. They’re going to determine the nature of your injuries, making sure that you see the right doctors.

Question:

So, what are some things specifically that medical device defect / injury clients should look for in their attorney, in the litigation context?

Answer:

You should look for an experienced trial attorney. We have board certified and civil trial attorneys here at Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice, Purtz, Smith & Smith, that means we have a trial expert on staff. “I've tried a lot of cases, I can honestly tell every client that walks into the room when they meet me that I'm willing to try your case, if that's what you want.” states Chris Smith: Co-Managing Partner at Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice, Purtz, Smith & Smith. That attitude is a very important thing. Medical device insurance companies know who the trial attorneys are. Insurance companies know that if it's a trial attorney, they're ultimately going to have to pay, or they're going to have to go to trial. And so, they keep track of that, and they pay more reasonably, when that's the case. Some of these cases, there are multi-jurisdictional groups set up to where if there's a lot of claims, then a judge will kind of oversee claims from many states and settle those claims. So, your lawyer must be familiar with how to get your claim into these different setups timely to be able to make your claim. There's also some of them that require class action lawsuits. So, you should hire an attorney with a deep understanding of these intricate procedures.
