Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Are you standing up against a medical professional after suffering from malpractice? Moody Law isn't afraid to represent the average person in cases against big hospitals.
Let our medical malpractice attorneys in Lakeland, FL, seek maximum compensation for your injuries. One of our attorneys formerly worked for a medical malpractice defense team, so we know the strategies they employ and how to counteract them.
We Stand Against Big Hospitals
and Their Attorneys
If you're filing a medical malpractice claim, you're going to be standing toe to toe with a hospital and their defense team. Many hospitals keep robust legal teams on standby to handle their medical malpractice cases. You'll need an attorney who knows how they think and can dismantle their case at every turn.
Before joining the team at Moody Law, Caroline Moody was part of a medical malpractice defense team that represented the interests of hospitals, nurses, doctors, and other medical professionals. This insight allows us to create strong cases against medical professionals who failed to uphold the expected standard of care and hold them accountable for the injuries they have caused.
Daniel D. Moody, Caroline Moody, and Drew Moody are all equally dedicated to securing just compensation for your injuries. Choose a team that knows how to represent victims of medical malpractice — choose Moody Law.
We Secured a $9,500,000 Recovery for Our Medical Malpractice Client
A 29-year-old woman who was recently married and had a Master's degree was experiencing headaches, weakness, confusion, and dizziness. An ambulance took her to the emergency room where she was seen by various healthcare providers. After numerous tests and a CT scan of her brain, our client was admitted to the hospital where her condition continued to worsen. The next day, the woman suffered a massive stroke that left her in a permanent vegetative state.
Moody Law called upon the expert testimony of medical professionals who helped us prove that the doctors and nurses failed to recognize the gravity of the woman's condition and treat her promptly. Our Lakeland medical malpractice attorneys secured a $9,500,000 recovery for the client and her new husband.

“Moody law made quick work, of some Doctors that failed my family. I am so thankful of them. My daughter will always be in good shape, financially. The case was 7rs ago. My baby suffered, I swore to her that if she gets thru it, I will make sure she never suffer like that again. Calling Moody law they quickly got me into their office. The case took two years. In mediation the opposition folded fast.”

View on GoogleTypes of Medical Malpractice
Our personal injury attorneys at Moody Law will seek compensation for your injury and all related expenses. Our lawyers are not afraid to take medical malpractice cases to court if it proves necessary to obtain fair and just financial compensation for our clients. The more common types of medical malpractice include:
If a doctor's carelessness causes a patient to be injured, the doctor can be held liable for medical malpractice. Hospitals are responsible for hiring qualified and competent doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, and medical technicians. In instances of doctor neglect, it may be possible to hold the hospital liable.
The effects can be devastating if an anesthesiologist administers an incorrect dosage of sedative or fails to closely monitor a patient who is under anesthesia. If a loved one has been injured or suffered a wrongful death as a result of an anesthesia error, we can assist you in seeking fair restitution.
There are many types of medical malpractice lawsuits that involve nursing homes. Caregivers may abuse residents verbally, physically, sexually, or financially. Staff may neglect patients and fail to provide a proper standard of care. In other cases, the nursing home may fail to properly screen or hire enough staff.
The Healthcare Industry Is Booming in Lakeland, FL
There are more than a dozen nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Lakeland. In addition, the city has a number of hospitals, rehab facilities, pharmacies, medical centers, and private practitioners here to serve the 110,000 residents of Lakeland.
Although most doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals do their best to provide a good standard of care, medical negligence does occur. When this puts the health and safety of a patient at risk and causes injury, victims have a right to file a medical malpractice claim. This very specific type of personal injury case calls for the help of a firm with a track record of success in helping victims collect the restitution they deserve.

Medical Malpractice Lawyer FAQ
Why do I have to file my claim within two years?
Florida has a statute of limitations of two years for most medical malpractice cases. Failure to file by the deadline could result in your case being dismissed and you missing out on much-needed compensation. Moody Law recommends filing your claim as soon as possible anyway so our medical malpractice lawyers can gather medical records and other evidence while it's fresh.
How can I help build my case?
Seek medical treatment with another doctor to generate medical records and prove the extent of your injuries. Attend follow-up appointments in case your injuries take time to develop. Your doctor will document the progression of your injuries and our medical malpractice lawyers in Lakeland, FL, will be able to determine what you'll need in terms of compensation to move forward.
How long does a medical malpractice lawsuit take?
Your medical malpractice case could take anywhere from a few months to a few years to settle. While our attorneys at Moody Law will work diligently to secure just compensation as quickly as possible, sometimes going to court is necessary, and that will require more time. Our attorneys are confident in the courtroom and will work hard to secure the compensation you need.
What other services do you offer?
In addition to medical malpractice, our legal team is highly experienced in handling personal injury cases involving commercial truck accidents, auto accidents, aviation accidents, motorcycle accidents, wrongful death, and defective products.
"Mr. Moody came highly recommended by personal friends who are attorneys that practice in other areas... From the initial consultation we felt as if we were part of the family. Every detail was explained up front and throughout the entire process the staff was quick to respond to questions and there were many. Through their effort we received a fair settlement that was much greater than the lowball offer the insurance company initially presented which didnt even cover the associated medical bills."
