Medical Malpractice
How we handle medical malpractice cases
Florida imposes a strict pre-suit process on medical malpractice claims. Before filing, we must conduct a reasonable investigation, obtain a verified written opinion from a qualified medical expert and serve a notice of intent, which starts a 90-day investigation period for the defendants.
Our malpractice team includes an attorney who is also a registered nurse. We review the complete chart, consult specialists in the same field as the provider and tell you candidly whether the case meets the standard. When it does, we fund the experts and fight the hospital's defense lawyers for as long as it takes.
A verified expert opinion is required before a lawsuit may be filed. This is a practice fact, not a case result: we publish no settlement or verdict figures anywhere on this site.
Cases we take
- Surgical errors and retained instruments
- Delayed or missed cancer diagnosis
- Emergency room misdiagnosis

Categories, not numbers
Compensation you may recover
Florida law allows injured people to recover economic and non-economic losses. What any individual claim is worth depends on its own evidence and on the insurance that is actually available, so we list the categories and never a figure.
- Corrective surgery and future care
- Lost income and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Lifetime care for birth injuries
- Loss of consortium
- Wrongful death damages
What affects the value of your case
- Standard of care breach
- An expert in the same specialty must confirm the provider fell below accepted practice.
- Causation
- The error, not the underlying illness, must be shown to have caused the harm.
- Sovereign immunity
- Public hospitals like Jackson Health have statutory damage caps and notice rules.
- Life expectancy impact
- Birth injuries and delayed diagnoses often carry the largest future damages.
