Our Coral Gables Malpractice Lawyers Have the Expertise and Compassion Needed for Tough Cases

No injury case is simple, and medical malpractice is especially challenging for victims and inexperienced lawyers. Florida’s malpractice standards are quite nuanced, and a firm should understand these requirements and stay informed about changes and rulings that can affect these cases.

Many big billboard law firms will claim they take medical malpractice cases, but they are quickly over their heads. You could be forced to accept a low settlement offer—if you get one at all—because the legal team wasn’t prepared to negotiate and litigate such a complex case. That’s not the case with Freidin Brown, P.A.

Our firm has over 100 years of combined legal experience and trial-tested attorneys who have what it takes to fight for full compensation on your behalf. We have the resources, knowledge, and experience of large firms and the dedication and personalization of small firms that ensures you are well taken care of. With Freidin Brown, P.A., you get a team that makes your needs their top priority.

What Can a Coral Gables Malpractice Firm Do for Clients?

If you work with our firm, we can help relieve you of some of your concerns about the legal process. We know you might be in pain and exhausted from your injuries and in no shape to deal with insurers. Our Coral Gables malpractice lawyers can help by:

• Establishing negligence and identifying all liable parties. Medical negligence is complicated, and we must establish if the provider’s actions did not live up to the standard of care expected of others in the profession. Additionally, one or more parties may have contributed to your negligent care, so we’ll make sure we hold all involved parties responsible for your harm.
• Creating a personalized case strategy. No case is exactly like another, so why should our strategy be the same? We draw on our decades of experience and legal knowledge to tailor an effective strategy for your case. At Freidin Brown, P.A., at least two lawyers, including founding attorney Philip Freidin, will oversee these plans and strategy sessions during case development.
• Drawing on our extensive resources. Our firm has access to various medical professionals and experts who can help support your case against negligent providers or facilities. They can weigh in on your current and projected losses and explain the standard of care and how the provider breached this standard.
• Negotiating for a settlement offer. Insurers often want to resolve cases quickly and avoid going to court. We’ll use this to our advantage and work toward a figure that meets your needs. Insurers do not typically lead with the best offer, so it can require a lot of discussions before getting to a satisfactory settlement amount.
• Representing you at trial. Sometimes, medical malpractice cases do progress to trial. Our firm has Board Certified trial attorneys who have already taken 300 cases to trial, and they are ready to do the same on your behalf. While we may still be able to negotiate a settlement during this time, we’re prepared to fight for a verdict that addresses all of your losses.

Do I Need a Coral Gables Malpractice Attorney?

Although you don’t technically need a medical malpractice lawyer, trying to handle a case this complex alone could mean missing out on significant compensation. Insurance companies and the at-fault party’s lawyers will fight to prevent you from getting a settlement or verdict.

Without legal help, your case may not go far at all, and you could be left facing the financial, emotional, mental, and physical aftermath of your injuries without sufficient compensation.

Our team also handles the complicated legal steps and tasks involved with Florida malpractice cases. We make sure everything is in order so your case can progress. Whether that means serving an affidavit of merit, sending a notice of intent to sue, or filing a lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires, we will take care of every task necessary.

Do Coral Gables Malpractice Lawsuits Have a Deadline?

Yes, your malpractice lawsuit is subject to the statute of limitations outlined in Florida Statutes § 95.11. You generally have two years from the date of the malpractice or the date you knew or should have known of the claim to file a lawsuit for damages, although some exceptions and presuit processes can affect these deadlines.

Some cases may have a different deadline under specific circumstances, and our medical malpractice lawyers can inform you if these exceptions apply to your Coral Gables case. The sooner you seek help, the better. If your lawsuit is not filed on time, you could miss out on any compensation.

What Does it Cost to Hire a Medical Malpractice Attorney?

If you work with our firm, you do not owe us any money up front. We take cases on a contingency fee basis, which means we cover all costs and fees until the case is resolved.

If we are successful in obtaining a settlement or verdict for you, we receive a portion of this payout. If we do not win, you owe us nothing. We know a lot of injury victims are worried about the legal costs, and we do not want money to be a barrier to justice.
