Valley Spring, TX Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

In order to bring a claim for medical malpractice, you have to (1) obtain all of the records (at $1 a page) and (2) get an affidavit from a "similar health care provider" attesting to that doctor's belief there was malpractice (at your own expense, or the expense of a lawyer who will expect to be paid back out of the proceeds of the recovery). It doesn't sound to me like the possible recovery would be worth all of the expense if your child did not suffer severe, permanent injury and if your medical insurance paid the bills. The law in Florida is extremely favorable to doctors.

For starters, it is very difficult to sue an insurance company and win. Second, it's nearly impossibleunless you have them on tape or in print saying something which proves they knew something wasn't true to prove an adjust or "lied" about an investigation. Remember, there is a huge difference between an insurance company taking a contrary position which may be wrong according to what you think you know, and an adjustor insisting the facts are a certain way while KNOWING they are not. You call it a lie, they call it a difference of opinion, and if there is no hard evidence either way, a court of law is not going to rule in your favor.

You shouldn't be liable. The contractor is liable. If the contractor does not have insurance you may get sued but you would only be liable if you controlled the manner of the work.
