Harmed by Medical Negligence?
You’re Not Alone. We’re Ready to Help.
Taking on a medical professional, hospital, or physician in a malpractice case can be difficult—if not nearly impossible. At Clark Fountain, we like those odds.
What Is Needed to Prove Medical Negligence?
Doctors are still human, and the law wants to protect healthcare providers from constant lawsuits and claims from patients. However, when doctors and hospitals make preventable mistakes as a result of taking unnecessary risks or failing to provide care at a reasonable standard, they need to be held legally liable for the medical and financial damage they cause. That’s where Clark Fountain comes in. Prevailing in a medical malpractice case takes documentation, investigation, patience and a dedicated team of professionals that know what to look for in each stage of the “healthcare provider-patient” relationship.
To prove medical negligence, we need to prove four things:
- A provider-patient relationship had been established, which entails a duty of care owed to the patient by the healthcare provider;
- The health care provider breached that duty;
- The patient sustained an injury;
- The injury was a proximate cause by some action or inaction on the part of the healthcare provider.
Florida medical malpractice is a complicated area of law, as tort reforms have led to new restrictions limiting the amounts patients may seek in medical malpractice claims and shielding private teaching hospitals from lawsuits by granting “sovereign immunity protections.” Whether you or a loved one is a victim of medical malpractice, you need an attorney. The pain and suffering from medical malpractice could affect the rest of your life. You deserve experienced representation that will get you the help you need.
Why You Need Clark Fountain
The simple truth is this: medical malpractice cases are lengthy processes, with complicated proofs and long investigations.

We have had the privilege of fighting for a family whose baby suffered a severe brain injury due to his care providers. The case took over a decade due to the complicated factors involved, including one defendant going bankrupt.
