Types of Cases We Handle in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach Medical Malpractice Attorney
As much as we love our city, several of our local healthcare facilities routinely receive poor patient care grades. That’s led our firm to represent clients in medical malpractice cases against many healthcare providers in West Palm Beach.
That experience battling local providers and their insurance companies means we know what to expect when they try to deny your claim. That also means those same providers and insurance companies know they can’t get away with their usual tricks when pitted against the team at Weisser Law.
We’ve built our distinguished reputation by winning medical malpractice cases across Palm Beach County. We’ve successfully handled medical malpractice cases involving:
- Anesthesia errors
- Birth injuries
- Brain injuries
- Cerebral palsy caused by negligence
- Delayed or missed diagnosis
- Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
- Jaundice
- Oxygen deprivation
- Surgical errors
When dealing with medical malpractice claims, there are complex and time-sensitive laws that can impact your case. Strict pre-suit requirements, expert affidavit rules, and statutes of limitations can severely hurt your case if you don’t fully understand the laws.
Contacting Weisser Law ensures you receive accurate information about your case and realistic expectations as it moves forward. We’ll investigate the facts of the case, work with real experts, and determine what went wrong and why.
West Palm Beach Car Accident Attorney
Let’s face it, the roadways around West Palm Beach are chaotic. With so many major employers and high traffic areas throughout the city, traffic jams are common, increasing the risk of crashes.
Serious and life-changing crashes frequently happen along major roadways such as:
- Interstate 95
- U.S. Route 1 (Federal Highway)
- Okeechobee Boulevard
- Southern Boulevard
- Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard
Congested intersections near exits along I-95, busy shopping centers, waterfront attractions, and other high-traffic areas also carry risks of severe crashes.
Along with handling car crashes, our reputation makes Weisser Law a respected West Palm Beach truck accident law firm. We’ve represented clients hit by commercial trucks, semi-trucks, delivery drivers, garbage trucks, and more.
Florida’s complicated personal injury protection (PIP) insurance rules and comparative fault laws make it difficult for most people to understand just how much their case might be worth. Depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability
When you’ve been injured in a car accident, you need representation that understands Florida’s laws and how to navigate them while ensuring you get the maximum damages possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I’m injured in a car accident on I-95 or Okeechobee Boulevard in West Palm Beach?
If you’re involved in a crash on a busy roadway like Interstate 95 or Okeechobee Boulevard, call 911 and seek medical attention immediately. If possible, document the scene with photos, gather witness information, and request a police report. Florida’s insurance system requires prompt medical treatment to access certain benefits, so it’s important to be evaluated by a doctor as soon as possible.
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.
What are common accident locations in West Palm Beach?
Serious accidents frequently occur on major commuter routes such as Southern Boulevard and Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard. High traffic volumes, busy intersections, and nearby shopping areas can increase the likelihood of collisions, especially during peak travel hours.
What if I was injured while visiting downtown West Palm Beach or Clematis Street?
Busy entertainment areas like Clematis Street and nearby waterfront districts attract large crowds, increasing the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, pedestrian injuries, and negligent security incidents. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. If negligence caused your injury, you may have a premises liability claim.
Can tourists file a personal injury claim if they are injured in West Palm Beach?
Yes. Visitors injured while shopping near Palm Beach Outlets, dining downtown, or traveling through the area have the same legal rights as Florida residents. Even if you return home after the accident, an attorney can still pursue your claim in Florida courts.
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.
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.
How much is my West Palm Beach medical malpractice case worth?
We’d love to tell you exactly how much you can expect based on your injuries, but the reality is, each case has its own unique facts that shape how much compensation you can or should seek. While we can’t tell you immediately what your case is worth, contacting Weisser Law is your best chance to learn what damages you can realistically expect to receive.
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.
How much does it cost to hire Weisser Law for cases in West Palm Beach?
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.
