Freidin Brown, P.A. has advocated for medical malpractice victims in Florida for over 45 years. We know what makes medical malpractice cases unique and how to address their complexities. When you work with our Pompano Beach medical malpractice attorneys, we will:
Investigate the Cause of Your Medical Malpractice Injury
In medicine, unfavorable outcomes often occur. For example, a doctor can do everything correctly when treating a patient’s cancer, and that patient still may not be cured. To prove you have a medical malpractice injury, you have to show that it resulted from medical negligence and would not have happened with proper treatment.
We will investigate the negligent treatment that caused your injury and demonstrate that the hospital or facility made a medical error. To do this, we will collect and review medical records, research, and eyewitness testimony. We also consult with top doctors, nurses, and medical professionals nationwide who can provide expert testimony when needed.
Represent You and Your Best Interests
Medical malpractice insurance companies can be aggressive when negotiating settlements, but our attorneys will represent your interests just as forcefully. We look out for you, not the bottom line of a large insurance corporation. We will advocate for your rights and tirelessly pursue the maximum settlement possible.
We will also not tolerate pushy or intimidating tactics that encourage clients to agree to hasty or lowball settlements. We will identify all of your current losses and seek estimates for future expenses so you do not have to pay for treatment or other damages out of pocket later. If necessary, we will take your case to trial to get fair awards.
Support You Through Every Stage of the Case
Pursuing a medical malpractice claim requires legal knowledge, but it also involves a lot of legwork and red tape. We are here to answer all of your questions and handle case details so you can focus on your health and family.
We are a small law firm, but that gives us a big advantage. While some billboard personal injury firms take on thousands of clients, we limit our caseload. Our attorneys know you and your claim, and they do not need automation to get them up to speed. We are genuinely invested in your case because we care.

We Know How to Prove Medical Malpractice Liability
Liability for medical malpractice may rest with one or multiple parties, including healthcare providers and healthcare facilities. We can pursue claims against negligent clinics, hospitals, nurses, doctors, pharmacies, labs, dentists, or any other medical professional who acted negligently.
Medical negligence is based on four elements:
- Duty of care – A provider or facility owed you a professional duty of care.
- Breach of duty – The provider violated accepted medical standards.
- Causation – The breach of duty caused your injury.
- Damages – Your injury caused pain and suffering and financial damages.
You Have a Limited Time to Seek Medical Malpractice Damages
There is a two-year statute of limitations for most medical malpractice lawsuits, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11. However, you may have longer if your injury was concealed from you or if there was another reason you did not discover it within the deadline.
Our lawyers can tell you more about medical malpractice case timelines and help you take action before it is too late.
Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Malpractice in Florida
What Should I Do if I Have a Medical Malpractice Injury?
If you have an injury that you believe resulted from malpractice, you should first seek medical treatment. Try not to go to the same medical facility or see the doctor who caused your injury. Get a second opinion from a new doctor at a new hospital or clinic.
Gather as much evidence as possible, including medical records from the negligent treatment and any new treatment you receive to address your injury. Many facilities now make patients’ medical records accessible online. Also, save any bills, receipts, and other proof of your injury-related expenses.
Once you notify a doctor or hospital of your potential claim, a medical malpractice insurance agent or hospital representative may contact you. Do not discuss the details of your case with them. Do not accept their initial offer, and do not give a recorded statement.
Instead, you should consider reaching out to our lawyers. We can answer questions you have about taking legal action and discuss your options. We are equipped to help you get the maximum damages possible under the unique circumstances of your case.
Will I Have to Go to Court for My Medical Malpractice Case?
Many medical malpractice claims get settled before a trial. Usually, insurance companies are more likely to want to avoid a trial when you can present them with solid evidence of negligence. However, insurers or at-fault parties sometimes dig in and decide to go to court.
Whatever happens, we have courtroom experience and are prepared to argue your case before a judge or jury.
How Much Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Cost?
You pay no upfront fees or costs when you work with our firm. We take cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning we do not get paid until we secure compensation for you or your loved one. We get reimbursed from your settlement or verdict.
