Types of Cases We Handle in Fort Pierce
Fort Pierce Medical Malpractice Attorney
Injuries caused by the mistakes of medical professionals impact the victim both physically and mentally. Aside from the injury itself, being injured by someone you trusted with your health can significantly harm a person’s mental health. Aside from bills piling up, the victim is left trying to answer questions like “Will I ever be the same again?” and “ What if I picked a different doctor?”
On top of those questions, Florida malpractice claims have strict procedural requirements and deadlines that can add stress to someone who is trying to recover from a serious injury.
That’s where the team at Weisser Law can help. We’ve spent decades representing clients in courthouses throughout Florida and have successfully argued numerous cases on behalf of clients from the Treasure Coast.
Among the medical malpractice cases in Fort Pierce that we’ve handled are:
- Anesthesia errors
- Birth injuries
- Delayed or missed diagnosis
- Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
- Jaundice
- Oxygen deprivation
- Surgical errors
If you or a loved one was injured while under the care of healthcare staff, you need to contact Weisser Law today. Even if you’re not sure if you are a victim of medical malpractice, our dedicated team will review your case thoroughly and determine what went wrong and if anyone is responsible.
Fort Pierce Car Accident Attorney
The roadways around Fort Pierce can be tricky to navigate and are often congested, creating dangerous situations for all types of drivers. Whether you were injured in a car crash along I-95 and Florida’s Turnpike interchanges, or were hit on a motorcycle by a commercial truck driver at the U.S. 1 and Orange Avenue intersection, Weisser Law is here to help.
Injured drivers are often left confused about how to navigate Florida’s personal injury protection (PIP) insurance rules and comparative fault laws. That uncertainty leads drivers to accept settlements and payouts that significantly undervalue the true worth of the injuries they’ve suffered.
Weisser Law not only understands those laws but also knows how insurance companies try to use them to pressure victims into unfair settlements. When you hire Weisser Law, you hire a team that won’t be bullied and will fight back against predatory insurance companies that were only interested in stopping you from being paid.
Fort Pierce Personal Injury Attorney
Injuries can happen anywhere in Fort Pierce, and while some aren’t preventable, many are the result of negligence. Property and business owners who fail to take care of potentially dangerous problems can be held liable if you’ve been hurt on their property.
That includes things like slip-and-fall accidents in downtown Fort Pierce, job-site injuries, dangerous sidewalks and walkways, and more. Weisser Law has successfully secured millions of dollars for our clients who’ve been injured by someone else’s lack of care. We’ve also handled wrongful death cases throughout Florida that held those responsible liable, and helped families get the financial security they so desperately deserved.
Weisser Law is committed to building the strongest case possible using our wealth of resources and experience.
Not only will we keep you up to date with the progress of the case from day one, but we will handle all communication with the other side’s lawyers and prevent them from pressuring you into a settlement that undervalues you and the severity of your injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?
In most cases, Florida allows a personal injury lawsuit to be filed within 2 years of the accident. Medical malpractice claims also generally have a two-year limitation period, but special rules apply. Contacting Weisser Law as soon as you realize something has gone wrong can help you avoid missing important deadlines in your case.
Do I need a lawyer for a car accident claim?
Insurance companies are trained to minimize payouts by offering settlements that often greatly undervalue the case’s true worth. If you suffered significant injuries, permanent impairment, or high medical bills, hiring a lawyer is the biggest step you can take to getting the compensation you deserve.
What if I was partially at fault?
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you may be barred from recovery. If you are less than 50% responsible, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
How much does it cost to hire Weisser Law for cases in Fort Pierce?
We don’t accept any payment from our clients until we win your case. You won’t pay a dollar until the case is over and we’ve secured you the compensation you deserve.
How do I know if I was the victim of medical malpractice?
Not every bad outcome at a hospital means medical malpractice was committed. But that doesn’t mean your concerns about the treatment and care you received aren’t valid. If you suffered an injury or complication while under the care of a healthcare provider, you should absolutely call Weisser Law today.
We can’t promise you have a malpractice case, but we will work with you to review the facts, determine what went wrong, when it went wrong, and why.
What Types of Compensation May Be Available?
Several factors play a role in determining how much your case could be worth and what types of damages you can seek. Contacting Weisser Law early means we’ll investigate your case right away and give you a fair estimate of damages you can seek, which can include compensation for:
- Emergency and ongoing medical care
- Rehabilitation and therapy
- Lost income and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent impairment
- Wrongful death
While there’s no way to know what each case is worth, Weisser Law is committed to getting every dollar you’re entitled to.
Do I have to go to court?
Many cases settle before trial. However, we prepare every case thoroughly in case litigation becomes necessary. Being ready for trial often increases settlement value.
