Freidin Brown, P.A. Is a Small Firm That Gets Big Results

Freidin Brown, P.A. is a small law firm with big firm resources. We selectively choose our attorneys and limit their caseload to provide every client with the compassionate, respectful, and personalized service they deserve.

Unlike at large billboard firms where lawyers take on hundreds of cases, we never use automation. Our team knows the details of your case, and we genuinely care about achieving an outcome that will help you heal.

We also have the tenacity and experience to handle even the most complex medical malpractice cases. Philip Freidin, our firm’s founding partner, has over 50 years of legal experience and has conducted over 300 trials before juries and judges. He and his co-counsel have won significant awards for medical malpractice victims and their families, including the following:

• $38 million. We secured this jury verdict for twins who were tragically left blind after a doctor failed to screen and diagnose them for the condition at birth.
• $15.5 million. We won this jury verdict for a victim of a motor vehicle accident who sadly was paralyzed due to negligent medical treatment. A hospital and its doctors incorrectly read the MRI scan, leading to the progression of swelling in our client’s spine.
• $12.7 million. We secured this verdict for a 5-year-old child who suffered a brain injury caused by negligent care.
• $9.75 million. We recovered this settlement on behalf of a client who suffered an ischemic stroke shortly after a cesarean section.
• $4.625 million. This jury verdict was also for a child sadly blinded by retinopathy of prematurity. We partnered with top medical professionals to prove that the baby would not have gone blind had they and their parents received medical advice and proper treatment.

How To Prove Medical Malpractice Caused an Injury or Illness

Medical malpractice liability rests with the negligent doctor, nurse, hospital, or facility that caused your injury and resulting damages. Our legal team will establish liability by building a case based on the four elements of medical negligence:

1. Professional duty of care. Healthcare providers are legally obligated to treat patients according to the standards of their medical profession.
2. Breach of duty. A breach of duty occurs when a doctor treats a patient in a way most other physicians in their position would deem unreasonable. A breach can also be a failure to treat or address complications.
3. Causation. Causation shows that the provider’s breach of duty caused you harm.
4. Damages. Damages prove that you suffered an injury and financial losses.

Do Not Trust Your Medical Malpractice Claim to Any Law Firm

Florida medical malpractice claims are complex. You must understand the state’s laws and build a claim based on medical and scientific proof. This type of case cannot be trusted to any firm. You need a lawyer with experience in this area and a proven track record. The attorneys at Freidin Brown, P.A. have both.

Our team will collect evidence proving medical negligence and your right to recover damages. Proof may include:

• Laboratory test results and diagnostic imaging
• Medication records
• Treatment plans
• Doctor’s notes
• Charts and medical records
• Scientific and medical data and research
• Eyewitness testimony
• Testimony from nursing and medical professionals
• Proof of your losses, including estimates, invoices, bills, and receipts

We can act against multiple parties if applicable. We will file medical malpractice insurance claims before we take your case to court. However, we will go to trial if that is what it takes to recover the money you need to get back on your feet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Malpractice

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit for Medical Malpractice in Florida?

The statute of limitations for medical malpractice is generally two years, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11. Plaintiffs must serve the negligent healthcare providers with a notice of intent to sue that includes a sworn statement from a medical professional asserting that the case has merit. Plaintiffs must do this before they can file a lawsuit.

We can prepare the notice, including the affidavit of merit, and handle the entire presuit process. Our team will also ensure you meet all deadlines relevant to your claim.

Who Can Pursue Compensation for Medical Malpractice?

Injured parties with financial damages and intangible losses resulting from a medical error can sue for medical malpractice. If the victim of malpractice is a minor child, their parents or guardians can take legal action on their behalf.

If your loved one died from an injury caused by medical malpractice, their estate and survivors may qualify for wrongful death damages.

What Is the Average Medical Malpractice Settlement?

Compensation for malpractice varies based on the unique facts of each case. Factors that can influence a settlement or verdict amount include:

• Your age at the time of injury
• Your average wages and the length of time your injury prevents you from working
• The effect of your injury on your future earning capabilities
• The severity of your injury and the cost of current and ongoing medical treatment
• The extent of your physical, mental, and emotional suffering
• The strength of your case

According to the National Practitioner Databank, there were 1,195 medical malpractice payment reports in Florida in 2023. Of these reports, 133 were for payments of less than $50,000, while 10 were for payments of $2 million or more.

Will I Need to Go to Trial to Resolve My Medical Malpractice Case?

Many medical malpractice cases get settled outside of court. Before we pursue a lawsuit, we will tirelessly negotiate for a settlement. Whether or not we succeed will depend on the insurance company and whether it offers a settlement that satisfies your losses. We have a successful record at trial and are not afraid to present your case before a judge or jury.
