Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect 40%

Florida law guarantees nursing home residents the right to adequate and appropriate healthcare. Inexperienced and poorly trained staff as well as poor safety procedures can put residents, who may not be able to report the abuse, in an unsafe environment. Call us so we can provide an accurate opinion of your loved one’s case and a strategy to combat the neglect.

Medical Malpractice 10%

Even good doctors make medical mistakes in both practice and judgment which can lead to tragic outcomes that harm their patients. Many times we find that well-meaning doctors are forced to cut corners or rush through procedures in order to satisfy corporate healthcare protocols or guidelines that put profits over people. Call us to determine whether you have a legitimate legal claim for medical malpractice and if the medical provider has a documented history of providing poor care to patients.

10%
Slip and Fall Accident 10%

If you have been injured in a slip and fall because of the negligence of a business owner or public building, you have legal rights. Our firm takes a comprehensive approach to these types of cases, including a prompt and thorough investigation of the dangerous conditions that may be present. A common tactic employed by insurance companies is to deny such a claim for “lack of notice” of the condition. Fortunately, Florida law permits Plaintiffs avenues of recovery regardless of notice. Call us.

Posted by Deborah | April 11, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Death

Excellent Representation!!

James Regano represented me in my father's wrongful death lawsuit. He was always very professional and prompt during the time it took to resolve the issue. He won both cases. I have recommended him to my friend and he is now helping her. Very happy with him!

Posted by Jim | February 17, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

A true professional

James helped my family thru a difficult nursing home abuse situation. He provided us with options, listened and persisted until our case was settled. This is not something I would want anyone to go thru but having attorney Ragano on our side was a God send. So I feel comfortable recommending him to o...thers who may have similar needs.
