So you've been in a car accident. What happens next? There are many things that you should do but here are the three most important:
Number One: See a doctor immediately.
A broken bone is easy to see, but some injuries are not. The most common injuries from car accidents happen in the neck, back, or head. The only way to diagnose and treat them is by seeing a doctor. A doctor can help ease the pain, provide medication, reassure you of how your injury may impact your daily life, and tell you what not to do to make it worse.
A visit to the doctor can also give you legally protected time off to recover and rest your body after an accident, and it documents and provides the evidence you may need for your case. Even a five-mile-per-hour car accident can cause a serious injury. So whether you've had a severe accident or a minor collision, see a doctor. And if you don't have medical insurance, let us know and we'll make sure that you receive the proper care.
Number Two: Write everything down.
Even if it seems small, during times of stress or injury it is common to forget the little details. Make sure you keep note of the pain that you're in. With neck, back, and head injuries, sometimes simple activities such as walking up the stairs or picking up a toddler may cause severe pain.
You may not be sleeping well at night. Documenting how much you sleep and how often you wake up due to pain is also very important. And lastly, if you have any cuts or bruises, take daily photos as you heal. This will provide visual evidence of the injuries that you've suffered.
Number Three: Do not speak to an insurance company until you've spoken to a lawyer.
Please understand that the insurance adjuster works for a billion-dollar corporation and not for you. Their interests are solely for their insurance company, and their goal is to provide you with the least amount of financial settlement as quickly as possible. When you do speak with them, remember they will record the conversation. Why do they do this? Because they've been trained to ask questions that may confuse you. So talk to us before you talk to them.
So remember: See a doctor, document everything, and call us before calling the insurance company for your free private consultation. We are here for you. Real tough lawyers fighting real tough issues.
Cancer misdiagnosis refers to a situation where a healthcare professional incorrectly identifies or fails to identify cancer in a patient. This can occur at various stages of the diagnostic process, including screening, imaging, biopsy, and pathology interpretation.
Misdiagnosis can result in significant consequences for patients, as it may lead to delayed or inappropriate treatment, unnecessary procedures, emotional distress, and potentially worsened outcomes.
There are several factors that can contribute to cancer misdiagnosis, including:
Miscommunication among healthcare providers can also lead to misdiagnosis, such as failure to convey critical information or coordinate care. Similarly, a patient seeking a second opinion may receive conflicting diagnoses from different healthcare professionals, leading to confusion and uncertainty.
To minimize the risk of cancer misdiagnosis, healthcare professionals follow standardized protocols, use advanced imaging and diagnostic tools, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure a comprehensive and accurate assessment.
Determining a potential settlement amount for a Florida cancer misdiagnosis lawsuit can be complex and depends on various factors specific to each case. Settlements are often reached through negotiations between the parties involved, and the final amount can be influenced by several key elements.
Here are some factors that may impact the potential settlement amount:
It's important to note that each case is unique, and outcomes can vary. Many medical malpractice cases, including those involving cancer misdiagnosis, are resolved through settlements to avoid the uncertainties and costs associated with a trial.
Consulting with an experienced Florida cancer misdiagnosis lawyer is crucial to assess the specific details of your case and determine a reasonable estimate for a potential settlement. We can provide guidance based on our proven command of medical malpractice law and knowledge of recent settlements in similar cases.

“Attorneys Greg Francis and Ryan Fletcher at Osborne & Francis Law Firm represented me in my personal injury case.The defendant drew a line in the sand and was adamant on a settlement amount I was almost willing to accept. After the dust settled and the smoke cleared, we settled for 3 times that amount!!! When they say ‘Real Tough Lawyers,’ they mean it.”

Quick and fair resolution to a unique case. On advice of my own attorney, I engaged Joseph Osborne of Osborne & Francis of Boca Raton, FL. Mr. Osborne had considerable experience in cases such as mine and the results showed that. Mr. Osborne and his staff were very helpful, kept me up to date, and listened to my input. The settlement was very fair as far as I am concerned.
