When the negligence or otherwise careless actions of health care providers cause patients harm, our team at the Rash Mueller in Weston, Florida, offers focused medical malpractice representation. We help clients stand up to negligent parties, including medical professionals and health care facilities, to hold them accountable for their failures to uphold the basic standards of safety and care.
Our team has more than 30 years of legal experience seeking financial justice on behalf of the wrongfully injured. We regularly handle cases involving issues such as failure to diagnose, hospital errors, brain injuries and birth injuries. Our attorneys also represent clients with admiralty and maritime law claims, including those arising from cruise ship medical malpractice claims, aviation disasters, and with personal injury claims involving car accidents, trucking accidents, premises liability, construction accidents, animal bites and wrongful death.
Aggressively pursuing our clients’ rights and best interests, we are not satisfied until they have received the maximum compensation for their injuries. Our dedication to maintaining high standards of ethics and providing quality representation has helped garner us the respect of our clients and peers alike. Our founding attorney has received the highest possible rating of AV Preeminent* from Martindale-Hubbell and was named to the prestigious Best Lawyers in America and one of The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100.
At Rash Mueller, we offer free initial consultations. During that first meeting, our attorneys review with people the circumstances that led to their injuries or worsened medical conditions. Recognizing that one mistake can often have lasting, if not permanent, repercussions, we also take the time to talk to people about how their injuries have been affected as a result of the medical errors or negligence that caused them harm. Our law offices accept credit cards.
*AV®, AV Preeminent®, Martindale-Hubbell Distinguished and Martindale-Hubbell Notable are certification marks used under license in accordance with the Martindale-Hubbell certification procedures, standards and policies. Martindale-Hubbell® is the facilitator of a peer review rating process. Ratings reflect the anonymous opinions of members of the bar and the judiciary. Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Rating™ fall into two categories – legal ability and general ethical standards.
