West Palm Beach Medical Malpractice LawyerWest Palm Beach healthcare providers can cause considerable harm when they make mistakes in treating patients. Victims endure significant suffering from physical pain, but some forms of medical malpractice can lead to chronic conditions and long-term complications. Worse, you could lose a loved one through a physician’s failure to provide quality patient care. Not only do you have to suffer emotionally, but you could also sustain grave financial hardship due to the passing of your family member.

Our lawyers at Freidin Brown, P.A. have the skills and experience to hold accountable the physicians, surgeons, hospitals, and other healthcare providers who put lives at risk through negligent acts.

Liability in Florida Medical Malpractice Cases

The question of liability in these claims hinges on whether the healthcare practitioner was negligent in providing care; the measurement is whether the patient would have received similar treatment from a reasonably careful physician in the same medical field, under the same circumstances.

Medical malpractice cases can be challenging to prove, as Florida malpractice laws are quite nuanced. Establishing negligence means drawing on other medical professionals, understanding what the standard of care is, and proving a violation of this standard. Our lawyers have spent over 45 years navigating these kinds of cases, and we have top medical experts and practitioners who can support our claims.

When you work with Freidin Brown, P.A., you are getting personal injury lawyers who are deeply familiar with medical malpractice claims and know what it takes to fight for fair compensation.

How Long Do I Have to Act on a Medical Malpractice Case?

In Florida, a medical malpractice lawsuit follows the statute of limitations established in Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(c). This law generally gives victims two years to file their suit, or they can risk losing their right to seek compensation. Some circumstances can extend or pause how long you have to file, and statutory presuit notice is required for all medical negligence cases.

Because of the complexity of Florida’s medical malpractice laws, it’s best to call our firm as soon as you can after the incident—we will see how long you have to act and can get started on your case.
