Law Offices of James M Thomas, ESQ.

The Law Office of James M. Thomas Esq. PA. represents clients in Florida. We work hard for people who have been in automobile accidents, and those who have fallen victim to medical malpractice, other negligence, as well as slip and fall/trip and fall, food poisoning, boat accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, including other negligence and wrongful death claims caused by another resulting in an injury.

Malpractice

A doctor, dentist, chiropractor or other medical professional must provide services to you within the accepted standards of care in their respective profession. However, medical professionals may not be liable simply because you obtained a bad outcome from your treatment. Nor are medical professionals liable because another doctor may have chosen a different treatment method to solve your medical problem. To recover for malpractice, an injured patient must show that the treating medical professional was somehow negligent and that the negligence caused or contributed to the new medical problems you are currently suffering, as a result of that treatment. Your case will require a medical professional in the same discipline to verify that the medical care complained of to be malpractice fell outside of the generally accepted standards of care related to your problem and that specific profession, resulting in your new injuries.

Slips, Trips & Falls

All Florida property owners have a duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. In order to win this type of case, the property owner must have known (actual knowledge) or should have known (constructive knowledge) of the condition on the property causing the injury in order for you to recover from a property owner. Generally, claimants must prove that the owner knew (or should have known) of the dangerous condition, and had a reasonable period of time to correct the condition and the owner failed to do so.

Products Liability

An injured consumer can recover from a manufacturer and the distributor of a product if the product causing the injury is not reasonably safe for use for its intended purpose.
