Medical Malpractice Attorney Jacksonville FL

plastic surgery lawyer

If you or a loved one have been harmed during a plastic or cosmetic surgical procedure, you may be entitled to compensation for the injuries you have sustained. Being injured because of an inexperienced or careless plastic surgeon is considered a medical malpractice and is one of the worst medical conditions one could face. Most elective surgeries are designed to enhance one’s appearance, boasting self-confidence, not crippling it. There are very few medical malpractice attorneys whose legal practice concentrates on surgical errors performed by plastic surgeons, Chris Shakib is one of them.

With over 28 years of legal experience, Chris believes that helping innocent victims receive fair and just compensation for injuries sustained at the hands of an unskilled cosmetic surgeon is a worthwhile pursuit.
