Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Medical malpractice occurs when a provider fails to meet the standard of care that a reasonably competent provider in the same specialty would deliver — and that failure directly causes injury. Common examples include missed or delayed diagnoses (especially cancer, stroke, and heart attack), surgical errors, anesthesia mistakes, medication errors, and birth injuries.

These are among the most technically demanding cases in personal injury law. Every claim requires expert medical review, sometimes multiple specialists, to establish both the standard of care and how it was breached. Cases without strong expert support don't survive.

Both California and Florida cap non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases. California's MICRA cap increases annually under 2023 reform and depends on injury type; Florida's cap has been partially struck down by the state Supreme Court. We navigate both frameworks to maximize recovery.

Damages available include past and future medical care, lost earning capacity, disability, disfigurement, and — subject to statutory caps — pain and suffering. Where a healthcare system knew about a dangerous provider or unsafe practice and failed to act, larger claims may be available against the institution.
