The cases we take on
We handle claims against hospitals and against physicians, from solo practices to large medical groups.
-
Cancer, stroke, heart attack or infection missed or caught too late, when an earlier diagnosis would have changed the outcome.
-
Wrong-site surgery, damaged organs or nerves, retained instruments and anesthesia mistakes, including improper intubation.
-
Birth injuries caused by delayed C-sections, missed fetal distress or improper use of delivery tools.
-
Wrong drug, wrong dose, dangerous interactions and pharmacy mistakes that lead to serious harm.
-
Understaffing, poor monitoring, hospital-acquired infections and nursing negligence that put patients at risk.
-
Monitors, implants and devices that fail during care, and the providers who keep using them.
-
Paralysis, brain injury and other permanent harm that changes how you work, move and live.
-
When negligent care costs a life, we help families get answers and hold those responsible accountable.
We don't take cases we won't try. That's the only promise that matters.
Your story comes first
We take the time to understand every way the malpractice affected your life: your health, your family, your work and your relationships. No sum of money can undo an injury, but it can secure your future.
We know the other side
Four decades against local hospital systems taught us their defense strategies. Hospital corporations, defense lawyers, insurers and risk managers know our reputation, and that shortens negotiations.
Doctors on our side
An expansive network of physicians and medical experts helps us understand the clinical details of each case and prove what went wrong.
How a medical malpractice case moves
Florida adds extra steps to medical negligence claims before a lawsuit can even be filed. We handle every one of them, and we prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
- 01
Free, confidential evaluation
Tell us what happened, by phone or online, any time of day. An attorney reviews your situation and tells you honestly whether you have a case.
- 02
Medical records review
We obtain your complete records and reconstruct your care, hour by hour, to pinpoint where the standard of care was breached.
- 03
Expert corroboration
Florida requires a qualified medical expert to support the claim before suit. Our network of respected physicians makes that possible.
- 04
Notice of intent and presuit
We serve formal notice on the providers, which opens a 90-day presuit investigation in which they must accept, reject or make an offer.
- 05
Negotiation
With the evidence in hand, we negotiate with hospitals and insurers from a position of strength. You decide whether to accept any offer.
- 06
Trial
If a fair settlement isn't offered, we take your case to a jury with rigorous evidence, respected experts and a persuasive narrative.

Florida's malpractice clock is already running
In Florida you generally have two years from the day you discovered the injury, and never more than four years from the day it happened. Find your estimated deadline.
- 2years from discovering the injury
- 4years maximum from the date of the care
- 90days of presuit investigation before filing
An estimate for general information, not legal advice. Fraud or concealment, a child under 8, a death or a government defendant can change the deadline.
