Orlando Medical Malpractice Lawyers
An Orlando surgery that promised relief instead left you battling complications, an avoidable failure under Florida’s Chapter 766. When you hire an Orlando medical malpractice lawyer, we trigger a presuit notice that locks hospital records, summons sworn specialists, and compels AdventHealth or Orlando Health insurers to negotiate before defenses solidify. Raised in Central Florida courtrooms, our firm translates those findings into compensation that rebuilds lives and nudges our hospitals toward safer care.

When a Mistake Becomes Negligence
What qualifies as medical malpractice in Florida
Florida Statute § 766.102 says malpractice occurs when a provider breaches the “prevailing professional standard of care” and harms the patient. Diagnostic errors are the single largest source of U.S. malpractice payouts, topping surgical mistakes and medication overdoses. Our board certified civil trial lawyer, with $50 million in verdicts, partners with physician specialists to verify whether that standard was broken.
From Charts to Expert Affidavits
How do I prove a doctor’s negligence?
Florida requires a sworn medical expert affidavit before you may sue. We question every chart entry, build the affidavit, present causal links, and activate settlement pressure. Our team secures imaging, labs, and surgical logs within days. For example a wrong site surgery, though officially a “never event,” still occurs roughly 1 in every 100,000 procedures. Digital chronologies expose each protocol miss, forcing insurers to the table fast.
From Bills to Future Care
What compensation can I recover after a medical malpractice injury
The national average negotiated settlement reached $430,000 in 2024. Independent analyses show an overall median payout of $329,565 across closed claims. NPDB data place Florida among the top ten states by total dollar volume, reflecting juries’ intolerance for unsafe care. In catastrophic cases we’ve handled birth injury, paralysis lifetime care costs push recoveries well into seven and eight figures.
Act Before Rights Expire
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Orange County
Florida’s statute of limitations is two years from discovery and never more than four years from the act, with narrow exceptions. The Florida Supreme Court struck down caps on noneconomic damages in Estate of McCall, so timely claims now face no artificial ceiling. Our bilingual staff files the statutory notice within 24 hours of record review, preventing last minute rushes.
