Naples Medical Malpractice Lawyer

As a patient, you trust your Florida physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals to provide quality and safe medical care.

We Get Results for Our Malpractice Clients

Many firms claim to take on medical malpractice cases, but they lack the results and experience necessary to litigate these complex legal claims. We have won over 20 verdicts in excess of $1 million for our clients over the years, including:

• $4.625 million for a child who became blind after the negligence of a hospital’s neonatology group. We argued that the group did not properly educate the child’s parents on the child’s condition (retinopathy of prematurity), and this failure on the part of the group led to this child’s blindness.
• $1 million for the tragic passing of an 18-year-old who suffered a preventable blood clot after breaking her leg in a car accident. Our lawyers argued that doctors should have been able to prevent the clot, and their negligence resulted in this young woman’s death.
• $3 million for a case against a hospital and its doctors where a woman bled to death after giving birth.

We know how daunting it can be to go up against these entities, especially if you are in pain or mourning the loss of a beloved family member. With Freidin Brown, P.A. at your side, you have an experienced and dedicated ally who will not back down. Your harm will not go unacknowledged. Let us hold these parties responsible for your harm and protect future patients from this negligent care.

How Do Lawyers Prove Negligence in Florida Medical Malpractice Claims?

For an incident involving a medical error to be actionable, the victim must prove four essential elements:

1. The health care provider must owe you a duty of care, which typically arises out of the doctor-patient relationship when you seek treatment or consultation
2. You must have evidence of a breach of duty, where that physician deviated from accepted standards in the relevant medical field
3. There must be a direct link between the breach of duty and your injuries, such that you wouldn’t have been harmed but for the breach
4. You must be able to show that you suffered damages because of the medical malpractice incident

Our Naples medical malpractice attorneys have decades of experience identifying and proving negligence of medical professionals and institutions. We are deeply familiar with malpractice laws and rulings, and we know what it takes to make a compelling case.

What Deadlines Apply to Naples Medical Malpractice Cases?

There is a requirement to comply with Florida’s statute of limitations for medical malpractice. Per Florida Statutes § 95.11 (4)(c), you generally have two years after the negligent act occurred in which to file a lawsuit. This time period may be extended to four years in cases where the medical malpractice or injuries were not discovered right away.

Our Naples medical malpractice lawyers can review your case to see how long you have left to act based on the circumstances of your case. We’ll work to get your suit filed before the deadline expires to protect your right to damages.
