Out of the 80,000 Florida lawyers- only 2 percent are certified as specialists in civil trial law, which includes medical malpractice. Everyone should understand that medical malpractice cases have many complex issues that lawyers who do not specialize may not be aware of. Unfortunately, if a lawyer does not know the important issues involved in medical malpractice cases, it is the client who will suffer.

Many people have asked why we are giving away such a valuable book. Well, we believe that people deserve to be treated fairly. Over the past 20 years, we have seen too many decent, honest people taken advantage of by doctors, hospitals and insurance companies after medical malpractice happens.

Choosing Orlando Medical Malpractice Lawyers

While there are more than 80,000 lawyers in Florida, there are only a small number of lawyers who specialize in medical malpractice law. Most people may not be aware that the Florida Bar has certified lawyers less than 2% of Florida lawyers as specialists in civil trial law which includes medical malpractice. In addition, there are even fewer Florida lawyers who are also a licensed medical doctor.

As Orlando medical malpractice lawyers, we offer both a board certified trial lawyer and a medical doctor/lawyer. Along with a critical care registered nurse who serves as medical case manager, clients receive the medical and legal expertise necessary to take on the "medical giants." People should understand what they are up against when they are considering a medical malpractice lawsuit. No other area of law may be as complex and confusing when it comes to seeking justice for injury or death.

Unless the patient has a medical malpractice lawyer with a long track record of success in dealing with these tactics, the patient may not even have a fighting chance for a just result. Indeed, we believe so strongly that the selection of a medical malpractice lawyer may lose the case years before it ever goes to trial that we have written a book to help consumers select the right lawyer. We continue to make the book, Seeking Justice: An Insider's Guide for the Injured, available at no charge.

Medical Doctor/ Lawyer For Orlando Medical Malpractice

If someone is considering surgery, the experience of the surgeon would certainly be an important concern. Few people would want a surgeon who had never performed the same surgery. No one would want to be the surgeon's first patient to undergo a particular operation. As Orlando medical malpractice lawyers, we believe that patients and families would want to have a medical doctor who is also a lawyer represent them in medical malpractice cases.

Unfortunately, when medical malpractice strikes few people know where to turn. Even fewer people realize that there are lawyers who are also medical doctors who handle medical malpractice cases. Yet, what better advantage could a patient have than to have a lawyer who is licensed as a medical doctor. Dr. Walter Ward has a distinct advantage to be able to confront the doctors involved by going into the case with a complete understanding of the medical issues involved. Obviously, it is much more practical when a lawyer has first hand experience as a medical doctor who was educated and trained from the standpoint of the doctors who are responsible for the medical malpractice.

When selecting an Orlando medical malpractice lawyer hiring one that is a medical doctor/lawyer should bring a higher level of confidence. These cases are complex and can be lost if the patient's lawyer does not understand the medicine involved.
