Practice Areas

Many firms list nearly every area of personal injury law on their “practice area” page, hoping to attract all manner of cases.  At Bounds Law Group, we only list two – because we only handle two types of cases.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is the same entity as medical negligence, and therefore the terms are interchangeable. Medical malpractice events encompass all varieties of medical errors, from missed or delayed diagnoses to surgical mistakes or complications from medications. Medical errors in hospitals and other medical facilities are the third leading cause of death in the U.S., claiming 250,000 lives each year. This astounding statistic includes both deaths in hospitals and deaths resulting from medical errors, like failures to diagnose heart conditions, cancer, infections, stroke, and other ailments – the delay in diagnosis of which can cause serious harm and even death. Health care providers have an obligation to their patients under the circumstances in which the provider and patient meet, known as the standard of care.

The standard of care requires the health care provider to act as any reasonable health care provider would under similar circumstances, and experts in various health care fields are used to establish what this standard of care is in any given case.

 

At Bounds Law Group, we limit our practice to medical malpractice and health care malpractice, including most surgical errors, pharmacy errors, nursing errors, and other errors which occur both inside and outside of the hospital setting. If you believe you may have a case, we hope that you will contact us to assist you.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Nursing home neglect and abuse is an ongoing problem for thousands of residents in long-term care facilities across America. An estimated one in three nursing homes will be reported for nursing home neglect and abuse-a number thought to be grossly underestimated. Surprisingly, 20 years ago, few attorneys in Florida were aware of the amount of neglect and abuse taking place in the state’s nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Nursing home neglect and abuse has been largely attributed to underpaid and undertrained employees as well as understaffed facilities.
