Our Boca Raton Attorneys Have Decades of Experience With Medical Malpractice

Many firms will claim they are qualified to help with your malpractice case, but they don’t have the reputation, results, or experience to support these claims. Freidin Brown, P.A. does. We’ve fought for Floridians since 1976, making sure negligent healthcare providers pay maximum compensation to the people they have harmed.

No one should get away with providing substandard care, and we’ve made it our mission to use our resources and experience to protect the rights of malpractice victims. Many firms are focused on the number of cases that walk through their doors and the number of successes they can claim, but they are not concerned about the quality of these successes or the care they offer to victims.

We have the determination and resources of a large firm, which allows us to fight hard for our clients, but our smaller size allows us to provide personalized care and attention that helps set our firm apart. Whether we are overseeing all communication, negotiating for a settlement, or taking your case to court, our Board Certified Trial Attorneys will always have your best interests at heart.

We are proud to have helped clients with all types of medical malpractice claims win big settlements and verdicts, including:

• A $15.5 million jury verdict for a person who became paralyzed after a medical professional misread an MRI scan. Our client, who was hurt in an auto accident, became paraplegic due to this negligent care.
• A $12.7 million verdict for a young child who suffered a brain injury due to negligent care.
• A $38 million verdict for twin boys who became blind shortly after birth. The children had retinopathy of prematurity, but the doctor failed to screen and diagnose them quickly enough to get them the treatment they needed.
• A $3 million settlement for a family after their relative bled out after giving birth.

These injuries could have been avoided or lessened with better care and consideration for patients could have avoided or lessened these injuries. We were able to help many injured people or surviving family members seek justice, and we want to do the same for you today. Call us now to get started with a free and confidential evaluation.

What Damages Can a Boca Raton Medical Malpractice Lawyer Seek on My Behalf?

Medical malpractice victims can have financial losses, which are often a large percentage of what our lawyers seek. However, not all of your injuries have a direct financial value, and you can seek compensation for these losses. When you work with our Boca Raton malpractice attorneys, we can help you seek damages such as:

• Current medical expenses for surgeries, hospital stays, office visits, antibiotics and other medications, anesthesia, and other expenses.
• Future medical expenses that you may have, depending on the injury. For instance, you may need physical therapy and rehabilitation, assistive devices like wheelchairs, additional surgeries to help treat your injury or condition, in-home health aides, and other treatments and expenses that help with your injuries or illness.
• Lost income if you missed if you are unable to work because of your condition.
• Lost earning potential if your injuries or illness prevents you from going back to work in the future. Even if you can work, you may not be able to perform the same job or work as much as you used to. This could mean your expected earnings and benefits are decreased or no longer available, and you deserve just compensation for these losses.
• Pain and suffering is a loss associated with the impact of your physical injuries. Pain can have a major impact on your physical and mental well-being, so we will address these losses when seeking damages.
• Emotional anguish can encompass many of the intangible effects of malpractice. You may suffer from anxiety or depression because of this incident, or you may struggle to maintain a relationship with your loved ones. All these losses are just as important as your financial losses, so we will make sure we seek the full value of these hardships.

Every malpractice case is unique; even people with similar injuries can have very different losses and needs. You may have damages not listed above, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pursue them. Our Boca Raton medical malpractice lawyers will make sure to account for every loss related to your injury.

FAQs for Our Boca Raton Malpractice Team

We know you have a lot of questions and concerns right now. While we have some answers to your questions below, we encourage you to reach out to our team to discuss your case.

When Can I Sue for Malpractice Damages?

Florida has a two-year statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases, per Florida Statutes § 95.11. Time starts running from the date of the malpractice injury or the date you knew or should have known of your claim.

However, this is a general time limit for filing your lawsuit, and many factors could impact this deadline. Determining when the statute of limitations starts and ends can be a little confusing, but our Boca Raton medical malpractice lawyers can verify how long you have to act.

How Do Our Boca Raton Malpractice Lawyers Determine Negligence?

Identifying negligent actions and parties is the cornerstone of any medical malpractice case. While you may look at your injuries and other losses and see clear evidence of malpractice, proving that it meets Florida’s malpractice threshold is another story. When taking on your medical malpractice case, our attorneys must show the following elements of negligence:

• The medical provider owed you a duty of care up to an implied or established standard. This standard of care is measured against the “level of care, skill, and treatment” accepted and expected of other providers in the same or similar circumstances, per Florida Statutes § 766.102.
• The provider did not provide care up to said standard. The provider’s actions (or inactions) did not measure up to the standard expected of providers in their field.
• The provider’s actions directly caused you or a loved one harm. Our lawyers must link the provider or facility’s actions and choices to your injuries and harm.
• You now have identifiable losses, injuries, and harm due to this provider or facility’s actions. We work to gather proof of all of your injuries, financial, physical, and emotional.

Our injury lawyers have almost five decades of experience litigating malpractice cases, and we know what to look for and how to prove our case.

What Parties Might Be Liable for My Malpractice Case?

Medical malpractice comes in many forms, and one or more parties may be at fault for your injuries and losses. Potentially liable parties include:

• Physicians, including OB-GYNs, anesthesiologists, general practitioners, and surgeons
• Nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants
• Pharmacists
• Laboratories
• Hospitals and other medical facilities

What is the Cost of Hiring a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?

Our firm takes cases without the expectation of up-front payments because we know how costly these cases can be. When you work with our team, we will discuss a “contingency fee arrangement.” We pay for all costs and fees, and you agree to give our firm a percentage of your winnings.

There is no risk to you because we only receive payment if we successfully obtain a settlement or verdict on your behalf. Insurers have a lot of money on their side, and they hope that this will intimidate victims. This fee structure allows you to seek justice regardless of your finances, so do not hesitate to seek our help.
